A Muslim woman has blasted a "despicable Islamist teaching" on GB News after British schools across the Middle East were revealed to be teaching students how to hit their wives.
Harrow School, along with a slew of other high-ranking private schools in the UK, is in the process of establishing several institutions in the United Arab Emirates in the coming months.
There, Muslim students will recite the Koran and be taught to chastise "rebellious" wives, a bombshell Telegraph investigation revealed, while non-Muslim students will have to take morality lessons.
The textbooks advise first "good counselling", "refusing bed-sharing" and then, thirdly, "beating lightly" designed "for the purpose of remediation".

The book reads: "Its objective is to safeguard marital life against breakdown and maintain companionship and social intimacy. A husband is not allowed to hit his wife using a whip or stick or in her face.
"He is to use a siwak (small teeth cleaning twig) or a light handkerchief."
Political commentator Khadeja Brown, joining GB News this afternoon, was appalled at the revelation.
"What in the Islamist teaching is this all about? This is very despicable," she blasted.

"And I understand that it's not in the UK, but this is a British school teaching British ethics and standards and way of life and the fact that such things are introduced regardless of what religion the students are learning.
"At the end of the day, this is something that comes back to the UK. These are British standards.
"The country, the United Kingdom, the country of the Magna Carta and equality and the Suffragettes is now teaching how to beat a woman. Look, I'm not embarrassed and I don't shy away from the fact that this is a verse in the Koran.
"But this verse has been for decades upon decades discussed. And it's been taken out of context. And there are many other verses that teach love and affection and kindness.

She asked: 'When will we stop and think?'

"Why is it those Islamists, those people pick on little, little verses that are not repeated everywhere, and they want to push that ideology, that a woman must be beaten? It is absolutely despicable," Ms Brown said.
"And to think about all the women that run away from their countries to come to the UK to be protected, for this to be a British teaching, this is incredibly heartbreaking."
She continued: "Where is that British lion they took? And they've taken over their churches. They've taken over the British standard.
"They've taken over everything that is British and beautiful. And to what end is it going to be that Britain is going to bend over backward in the name of inclusion?
"Why is inclusion so based right now on the exclusion of British values and Britons?"
Continuing her fuming rant against the teaching, Ms Brown asked: "What is the point of it being British, if it's changing its rules and its teachings and it's dividing and segregating people?
"Hasn't it always been in the UK by equality and we all have the right of education and what goes for one, goes for all.
"Because I'm sorry if it's going to be allowed in an international school that belongs to Britain, then it will be soon allowed here. And when is it too late for us to stop and think?
"Inclusion is not working. This is not how we want inclusion to be. British culture and British way of life must preside over everything. It must take precedent. But it's just really crazy."
