ISIS-obsessed teacher may have been ‘planning an attack on the Queen’
A teacher who was jailed for 25 years for grooming pupils to become terrorists has been banned from the classroom today.
New evidence revealed by teaching watchdogs has found that Umar Haque, who was 25 when he was jailed in 2015, may have been planning an attack on the late Queen.
Haque, who had been ‘fanatical’ about ISIS, had plans to create a London-based ‘death squad’ made up of pupils from a fee-paying independent Muslim school in Leyton, east London.
He was jailed for 25 years to life and had to be dragged from the dock in mid-rant about the end of ‘Western domination’.
Today, Haque was struck off for life after being allowed to appear before teaching watchdogs for the first day of the misconduct hearing into his behaviour.
He told the shocked panel: ‘It does not bother me an inch that the Teaching Regulation Agency seek to impose upon me a lifetime ban from teaching for indeed I will merely be re-employed by The Islamic Caliphate (The Islamic State) in the future’.
He refused to appear for day two and three of the hearing and refused to be represented so his teaching career was decided as he remained in his prison cell.
In his absence the TRA found: ‘It was clear that Mr Haque’s conduct demonstrated a lack of tolerance and/or hatred on the grounds of race/religion and/or the undermining of fundamental British values.
‘The panel also noted Mr Haque’s own statements during the hearing, as well as his letter contained in the bundle which do not align with fundamental British values.
‘The panel also considered the evidence in the bundle where references were made to an attack on the Queen together with videos being shown where red passports were being burnt.
In 2018, The Central Criminal Court had been told the teacher tried to raise an army of ‘junior jihadis’ ready to attack London.
Haque, now 31, formerly of Forest Gate, East London, made children aged between 11 and 14 act out battles between police and the ISIS fighters he idolised while teaching at Ripple Road Mosque in Barking
Haque drew up a list of targets in the capital including Heathrow Airport, Parliament, Big Ben and the Westfield shopping centre to terrorise innocents.
He also noted that gay clubs were ‘definitely’ among 30 targets and blasted ‘mass fornication and illicit behaviour’ when questioned by police.
But the hypocrite was also trawling the internet for transsexual prostitutes.
