The teacher has been sacked after he suggested Islam was going to take over and branded Westernised girls as "lunatics"

Liberal Democrats Muslim campaigner Mohammed Amin has fumed over a Birmingham teachers comments and clamed "Islam is not a misogynistic religion" but there are "too many Muslim men who are."

Aqib Khan has been banned after a Teaching Regulation Agency professional misconduct panel found he had "undermined fundamental British values" when he made comments to pupils suggesting Islam was going to take over and branding Westernised girls as "lunatics."

Speaking to GB News former Chairman of the Conservative Muslim Forum Mohammed Amin said: "All I know about this case is what I have read in the media but from what I know, I would not want this teacher anywhere near my children.

"I think that it is the right decision to remove him, whether the ban should be for life or ten years until he gets re-educated in a different issue. But certainly the way he was behaving at the moment shows that is he's not fit to be in a classroom.

When asked what he thought about Khan's comments about women Mohammed added: "It shows this person's own massive ignorance about Islam, the Prophet Muhammad. Peace be upon him.

"When he was a young man, he worked for a wealthy widow and she was his employer. So he's complaining about a woman doctor earning more than him when the Prophet Muhammad worked for a woman [that earned more than him.]

"Islam does not go in for gender inequality, it recognizes the equality of men and women before God and eventually that woman proposed to him that they got married.

"Islam is not a misogynistic religion. Unfortunately, there are far too many Muslim men who are misogynistic."
