UK: investigation into Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) cartoon incident

Islamophobic teacher suspended



An independent investigation has been launched after an image of the Prophet Muhammad was shown in a lesson at a Yorkshire school.

The inquiry will look at the context of how pupils at Batley Grammar School were shown the picture, according to the multi-academy trust that runs the school.

Protesters gathered outside the West Yorkshire school on Thursday and Friday last week after the teacher was suspended, provoking a nationwide debate about offence and free expression.

Gary Kibble, the school's headteacher, earlier apologised for a "totally inappropriate image" being shown during a religious studies lesson – widely reported as taken from the French satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo.

He added that the teacher involved had "also relayed their most sincere apologies".

Protesters told The Independent last week they wanted the teacher sacked.

A petition calling for the suspended teacher to be reinstated has been signed tens of thousands of times. The student who set it up claims the image was shown in a lesson about "racism and blasphemy".

The father of the teacher said his son "keeps breaking down crying" amid fears he and his family may be killed.

"Look what happened to the teacher in France who was killed for doing the same thing", he told the Daily Mail.
