Teacher banned for saying Islam would take over and Westernised girls were ‘lunatics’

From the Telegraph and the Mail

Aqib Khan, 30, was sacked for “undermining fundamental British values” by a Teaching Regulation Agency professional misconduct panel.

He said he rejected a female doctor who earned £70,000 because he couldn’t be with a woman who earned more than him and told pupils that the baby of a woman over the age of 30 was more likely to be disabled than a wife having one with her cousin.

The panel heard Mr Khan was an English teacher at Harborne Academy in Birmingham between December 2020 and March 2023.

During that period he made a series of comments on a Microsoft Teams group which were deemed professionally unacceptable, and openly attacked feminism in his classes.

Referring to the increasing Muslim population, he stated: “Natural selection increasing our numbers as a result. By 2050 the whole of UK, France and Germany will look like Birmingham. The number of Muslims went up 44 per cent in 10 years. Everyone else is falling or growing at a snail’s pace. Traditional values > liberalism.”

He also wrote: “White women enjoying life under shariah lol” under a picture of a news article that states “Alcohol ban helps female fans enjoy hassle-free football in Qatar”.

Mr Khan said feminism teaches that “women are equal and discourages motherhood and being a wife” while “Islam teaches women are x3 more valuable than men if they’re good mothers and wives  . . . treat them like queens as long as they’re good girls. If they’re westernized lunatics just ignore them.”

He was reported to the school by a member of staff who recorded concerns about his conduct with students on the school’s safeguarding portal. He was accused inappropriate religious views as well as harmful comments that pertain to dating and relationships. . . showed a topless photo of himself flexing his muscles to one pupil.

He also said: ‘Women want a man who can dominate them and look after them as they can’t look after themselves.’

The panel heard that he also informed students that they would be ‘replaced by Muslims’ if they supported feminism or progressive ideologies. ‘But I am telling you one fact, you’re going to get replaced by Muslims even faster, they will replace you even faster’.

The School also found significant evidence of this through Microsoft Teams messages exchanged between Mr Khan and several pupils. The panel found he was guilty of ‘undermining fundamental British values including individual liberty, mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs.’

Panel chair Marc Cavey said: ‘The panel finds that the conduct of Mr Khan fell significantly short of the standards expected of the profession. The findings of misconduct are serious as they include a breach of professional boundaries with pupils. This means that Mr Aqib Khan is prohibited from teaching indefinitely and cannot teach in any school, sixth form college, relevant youth accommodation or children’s home in England.’
