From here:

Four men launched a horrific attack on a teacher in which they slashed his face and left him with a fractured skull because they did not approve of him teaching religion to Muslim girls.

Akmol Hussein, 26, Sheikh Rashid, 27, Azad Hussain, 25, and Simon Alam, 19, attacked Gary Smith with a Stanley knife, an iron rod and a block of cement.

Mr Smith, who is head of religious education at Central Foundation Girls’ School in Bow, east London, also suffered a fractured skull.

The four now face a jail sentence.

Detectives made secret recordings of the gang’s plot to attack Mr Smith prior to the brutal assault.

The covert audio probe captured the gang condemning Mr Smith for ‘teaching other religions to our sisters’, the court heard.

The RE teacher was targeted as he made his way on foot along Burdett Road in nearby Mile End on July 12 last year, Snaresbrook Crown Court was told.

Prosecutor Sarah Whitehouse told the court: ‘The evidence from what was said on the probe points overwhelmingly to a religious motive for this attack.’

We have a cornucopia of assorted crimes that have been deemed “hate crimes” because the victim falls into a select category : there are, among others, hate crimes against Muslims, hate crimes against homosexuals, racial hate crimes and hate crimes against women. I notice that this particular thoroughly hate filled incident against a member of that most ridiculed minority – school Religious Education instructors – is not described as a hate crime. Does anyone doubt that if the teacher had been a Muslim and the criminals Christians or, even worse, Jews, we would have seen “Hate Crime” blaring from every headline?
