So these various media outlets pursuing agendas pandering to Islamophobes for financial rewards are Private Eye through an ongoing feature that's been running for ages. Gotcha.

Sorry I apologise for not noting the Tower Hamlets case in particular and being too general.However my point still applies for the DM and The Sun and other outlets in regards to promoting and pandering islamophobia. The fact that that only PE has noted Tower Hamlets may be rectified eventually.It usually take the rest of the media world anything from 3 months to a year or more to catch up with stories that are first printed by PE.

I asked about coverage of this schools issue or Tower Hamlets as those are the two stories that came to mind.

I won't disagree that there are biases in the mainstream media however I vehemently disagree with the assertion that mainstream media is Islamophobic. IMHO it routinely sweeps as much as possible under the carpet in the name of multiculturalism, only really major issues get any light shone on them.

The stories about these issues are largely in reference to responses from politicians rather than discussing the facts or otherwise of the case. The only outlet I can see actually doing any investigative work in the Torygraph, the rest appear to be happy to take whatever politicians, local and national, and those involved say and run with it.

Your mileage may of course vary. I am sorry I didn't make what I was asking clearer.

Tahir Alam, put in the spotlight by allegations of extremist takeovers in Birmingham schools, has himself been working as an Ofsted inspector.

Mr Alam is chairman of governors at Park View School, which has faced an inspection following the "Trojan Horse" claims of a hard-line Muslim agenda.

More like Dave will tell them not to make noise publicly to protect the conservatives image.

I see they managed to sneak terrorism in to the article when the islamic school thing has nothing to do with it.

Politicians still don't understand that if we didn't go around invading foreign countries like a good little lapdog for the US, we wouldn't have to worry about so much terrorism. If they simply put a statement out saying "screw the US, we are not invading any more countries with them as they are war mongers and we will also put Blair in front of a war crimes court" then 95% of the problem would be

Leaked.

Park View said Ofsted made "absolutely no suggestion, nor did they find any evidence, that Park View schools either promote or tolerate extremism or radicalisation".

The first few paragraphs of the article say:

Park View academy, the Birmingham secondary school at the centre of the alleged Islamist plot known as Trojan horse, will be told next week that it has failed to adequately warn its pupils about extremism and that staff are intimidated by the school's leadership.

A controversial Ofsted report ordered by Michael Gove and leaked to the Guardian will highlight that one of the reasons why the school – previously rated outstanding – will be downgraded to inadequate is that teachers have not received enough training in the government's anti-extremism Prevent programme.

Something doesn't sound right about this whole thing still and those comments suggest something being swept under the rug and these warnings issued instead.

External speakers, such as those who speak to students as part of a programme of Islamic-themed assemblies, are not vetted and pupils not taught how to use the internet safely.

• Students are not prepared properly for life in a diverse and multicultural society.

• Staff feel intimidated and fearful of speaking out, while some believe the governors involve themselves inappropriately in the running of the school.

Sounds like there is definitely a muslim issue at the school, so maybe the trojan horses were mostly already in place...

Still, according to the school apparently Ofsted "made absolutely no suggestion, nor did they find any evidence, that Park View schools either promote or tolerate extremism or radicalisation".

I'm sure if your concerns are well founded we'll be hearing more about the matter from official sources.
