A teacher at an Islamic Sunday school “saw it as her duty” to spread jihad among children with a “cartoon-style” book, a court heard.

Dzhamilya Timaeva, 19, allegedly obtained a role as a teacher at the Sunday school in order to spread “extremist beliefs” about holy war to young children, jurors were told.

Police who arrested the teenager found notes on her phone, including one entitled “Permissibility of Suicidal Operations”, and a document called the Little Muwahideen, with a colourful cartoon-style front cover designed for children, the Old Bailey heard.

It was alleged the book included sections on waging war for Islam, as well as reference to “fitna” (which often refers to a heretical uprising in the Quran).

Opening the trial on Tuesday, prosecutor Gareth Weetman accused Timaeva of sharing “pro-IS [Islamic State] propaganda” in 2022-23.

‘Intolerant notions’

“The defendant saw it as her duty to teach these extremist beliefs to young children. In order to do so, she obtained a place as a teacher at an Islamic Sunday school,” he told the court.

In Sept 2022, Timaeva had been making arrangements to teach a class of children at an Islamic faith school and made reference to the booklet in planned lessons, the court heard.

She sent an electronic copy of the book to a contact at the Tawheed Islamic Education Centre in Maidenhead and had 70 copies printed, it was claimed.

Mr Weetman said: “It follows that this clearly wasn’t a distant dream of the defendant to teach young children the extremist and intolerant notions in this book. She had printed it and arranged to attend the classes to do so.”

Jurors heard the defendant had also wanted to gain access to children at the Windsor Muslim Association which allegedly listed her as a teacher on its website in March 2023.

‘Little Muwahideen booklets’

Mr Weetman said copies of the Little Muwahideen booklet were found in a search of the defendant’s home last March 2. But it was clear that more copies had already been distributed by the defendant, he said.

In an email sent the day after her arrest, she said: “They took my Little Muwahideen booklets.

“All praise is to Allah that I gave out so many not long ago, they only found a few copies at my house.”

Meanwhile, a teacher at the defendant’s school found her alone in an office trying to hide shredded paper in the shelves of a cupboard, jurors were told. These strips were pieced back together and found to be about jihad, Mr Weetman said.

Timaeva has denied four counts of dissemination of terrorist publications including “Little Muwahideen” and possessing a video for terrorist purposes entitled “Incite the Believers”.

The trial was adjourned until Thursday.

Problem is, they're extremist to normies, but they're not extremist within Islam.

Always remember this. There are two types of Muslims. Extremist Muslims and those that silently support the extremist actions while celebrating at their homes protected by the ones they commit these extremist acts against.

For any Muslim triggered by this, I'll believe your words the day one of you publicly condemns actions like these. Until then, anything you say is null and void.

For any keyboard activists crying Islamophobia, THIS IS WHAT EXTREMIST ACTS LOOK LIKE. TALKING ABOUT YOUR CULTURE AND YOUR HISTORY ON A SOCIAL PLATFORM IS NOT EXTREMISM YOU ABSOLUTE FUCKING MORONS.

From time to time -- and in total quite a lot of times -- I hear someone say something along the lines of "Whenever a story comes out about a white man committing mass murder, everyone / the media tries to come up with circumstances or conditions he may have had or focuses on his mental illness to make excuses about his behavior, whereas if it's a man of color who committed mass murder, everybody / the media jumps to the conclusion that he did it out of evil."

I keep on hearing this claim confidently asserted and have no idea what evidence it's tied to, because I've never actually seen any. I'm not claiming in this post that it's necessarily wrong, just that I've never been aware of any evidence going one way or another, I've certainly never observed anything like that, and so I'm a little befuddled by the claim.

This may be partly because the bubbles I've been immersed in for the past fifteen years, as well as most of my news media, has a very progressive bent. Then again, during the last five or so of those years I've also had a fairly steady diet of contrarian IDW-ish voices in my YouTube queue and I still haven't noticed the white mass murderers receive tons of speculation about their mental illnesses and bad circumstances while black or brown mass murderers are met with "Evil!" and a pointed finger.

What I have noticed is that mass murderers (at least in this part of the world) are mostly white men (a fact that people on my social media from time to time like to explicitly point out), which may be a reflection of which mass murders I'm most likely to be hearing about but likely reflects a phenomenon which is real. The exceptions to this trend tend to be Muslims committing murder in the name of Islamic extremism, I suppose, which is a motive that IDW-ish people (like Sam Harris) like to make as much of as possible and could be interpreted as pointing a finger and shouting "Evil!" in opposition to finding a mental illness or adverse circumstance, although I'm kind of inclined to disagree and say it's a third thing. But again, this is quite a minority of mass murder stories I hear about. If there are frequent stories of mass shootings by black or brown people, they just aren't reaching my radar, whether or not "everyone" / "the media" judges these hypothetical people with minimal charity as claimed.

Honestly, I don't know whether the schools will reopen or not under this government which doesn't have a bit of thought or understanding for girls. They count the girls as nothing.

Mufti sahab if imam sahab forgets the ayat while reciting and remains silent for a long time and does not even do sajad e sahwa then namaz will be missed

⚪ Answer ⚪

If after saying subhanallah 3 times the qadar remains silent then sajda-e-sahv will be wajib,

If sajd e-sahv is not done then it is wajib to return the namaz before the time is over...

📍 For such an emergency matter it is better to talk to some mufti sahab directly.

Oh, lord, this topic was getting me cancelled 20 years ago, before "getting cancelled" was even a thing.

But, yes, the reasoning is the same: Hijab is a sex-specific modesty garment representing a misogynistic double-standard. It serves, literally, as a physical instrument of female exclusion from society. It is patriarchal in the worst sense, and falls in the same class as its more extreme cousins like the burqa. Modesty garments are never a good idea when they are worn on the premise that your body is shameful and provocative.

There is something to be said for degrees, however, and I take less issue with a garment like hijab that is essentially an unapologetic head shawl versus something like a burqa or niqab that literally erases the female face and form from public life. The involuntary erasure of the face in particular is deeply offensive to me, to the point that I would support public bans on those types of garments (not unlike the French bans). And hijab, at least, does not run afoul of this unacceptable degree of involuntarily erasure of one's humanity.

But, even so, hijab is not the symbol of freedom and autonomy that privileged Westerners and clueless progressives claim it to be. It is the exact opposite. It is both a symbol and literally a physical instrument of oppression, the exploitation and manipulation of the vulnerable. To my eyes it is a terrible look to proudly wear a garment that is used to marginalize and seclude millions of women around the world from public life, let alone call this "empowering." You may have the choice to wear it, and you may be empowering yourself by exercising your choice, but hundreds of millions of other people who are in a more vulnerable position than you do not have that choice. They are forced to wear these things, on threat of exclusion or censure or harassment or sometimes even violence. Even in the West, even in the US, in Muslim enclaves, we are seeing this same oppression reassert itself more and more, with women there pressured to don these garments even if they don't want to.

We had to fight for the freedom of bodily visibility in the 20th century, back when it was Christianity doing the oppressing. We, or rather our liberal predecessors, had to fight for the sleeveless dress, the low neckline, the miniskirt, the right to wear plain old normal pants. Anything that exposed more of the female body or its shape. We largely won these fights—though we have yet to free the nipple—and it is a damn shame to see this new flanking attack coming in from a different religion.

You might have the freedom to choose, but your glorification of the instruments of other people's oppression contributes to the erasure of their plight from our collective consciousness. It is a regressive stance to take.

If you talk to female escapees from Islamist countries, most of them rightly have terrible contempt for these garments, even the relatively tame hijab, because what a hijab lacks in brutality it makes up for in symbolic power. To see certain progressives celebrate this says a lot about their true colors, or, at best, their ignorance. Either way, it shows that a particular faction of progressivism is so hellbent on Western guilt and the shaming of all Western defaults and norms, i.e. Christianity, that it will go to ludicrous extremes to rationalize and justify anything seen as outside of or in opposition to this "deplorable" Western sphere. Because Christian extremists, right-wingers, and other assorted bigots single out things like a hijab as "tells" that someone is an "Other," the progressive movement has overreacted and is essentially immunizing these objects from warranted criticism. This has led to untenable, disgraceful apologetics over the years of both the specific instruments and the overarching fact of Islamic extremism by white Western progressives—who are ushered along with smiles by their Islamic allies, all too happy to see the progressive movement doing their work for them. It's the biggest blind spot on the left today, to recognize that Christian extremism is bad but somehow not recognize that Islamic extremism is also bad. And "extremism" isn't just about murdering civilians in terrorist acts; it's about fundamental things like marginalizing and excluding persecuted classes of people from society.

(And, yes, I am against this stuff from any religion: Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, you name it. I think modesty garments are inherently oppressive, and spiral very easily from religious accoutrement to instruments of control.)

To a great extent (though not without limits, as I mentioned above), I support people's right to wear whatever they want, and that includes dressing as modestly or conservatively or religiously or "self-concealingly" as one wants. I am likewise aware of the hijab's fashion relevance, thermal warmth, and potential for comfort, and I recognize that these considerations all complicate the underlying ethical question. And I am also aware of the argument that physically concealing one's female body in public is sort of like flipping an "off" switch that can prevent a lot of unwanted attention, and that many people do this to themselves, if not purely voluntarily (inasmuch as in an ideal world free of unwanted attention and harassment they would not dress so self-deprecatingly), then at least as a "lesser of two evils" sort of thing—and I never begrudge people for easing the burdens in their lives. Long story short, I never get in people's business about this stuff; I don't say "Don't wear it." Even the people wearing the extreme garments like a burqa—which I have seen worn in south Seattle!—I do not make trouble with. For one thing, it isn't neighborly to make trouble. But more importantly, it is important to remember that anyone wearing this stuff under duress is a victim of larger cultural problems, and you're not going to get very far in fighting those problems by making trouble for the victims. And you never know who is wearing the stuff voluntarily and who isn't.

But I do harshly judge the people who, beyond their personal life choices, glorify this stuff politically and contribute to the public campaign of whitewashing Islamic extremism. It's like flying the Confederate Flag. You're technically allowed to, but...should you really?

not to be too edgy on main but i do think its a little funny that when someone wants to include a character wearing a hijab in their story its always those stylish headscarfs that give you a perfectly round view of the face and its never like, a full on burqa. like no, thats is a little too uncomfortable to depict, but they are the same principle right? the reasoning behind both is the same
