Jews and homosexuals singled out at British hate schools
A report from the UK have revealed pupils at Islamic schools are being taught how to chop off the hands of criminals.
The report has singled out a text book for 15-year-olds, which advises that thieves should have a hand cut off for a first offence and a foot for a subsequent offence.
The text says the hand should be "cut off at the wrist" before being cauterised so the thief does not bleed to death.
A BBC investigation has found students at the Islamic schools are also being taught that Jews are conspiring to take over the world, in order to have control over the world's resources.
So-called "weekend-schools," which take about 5,000 pupils in Britain, are issuing text books that claim people who do not believe in Islam will be subjected to "hellfire" in death.
The schools, some of which are part of the Saudi Students Club, also warn young pupils the punishment for engaging in homosexual acts is death by stoning, burning with fire or being thrown off a cliff.
Education minister Michael Gove has told the BBC he will not have anti-Semitic material of any kind being taught in British schools.
He has asked for a full report.
