where was it from?

wikiIslam, came across it when someone told me of Mohammed's marriage to a 6 year old which I thought I would look up to see if its true, though it wasn't consummated until she was 9. (Aisha)

maleuk - You'll know where you got it from of, course so you might want to tell us!  For others, if you google any two consecutive lines from the post and you will get various versions of the source document.  A little more research from there will help further.  It took me two minutes, as I thought blimey that's a lot of work in a short time, wonder where it came from. .

I've checked 6 out and verified 4 whilst unable to find anything on the other 2.
A few others I know to be correct and suspect that the list is genuine.

the source is that well known fount of all objective and unbiased islamic knowledge WikiIslam.  I should have known

well disprove it then if you think the list is a pile of shyte, Why should others do the work for you.

Some of the list is common knowledge to anyone that hasn't lived in a cave for the last five years

Emden - re my post of 21.26, which bit of my "no one would doubt lots of the horrendous events on this list" did you not understand, or could you not be bothered to read the whole thread.

Anyone who doubts that list is being pedantic, most ,if not all, of the comments are in the public domain.

Emden - You really haven't bothered to read the thread have you For the avoidance of doubt, I am just interested in the veracity of the original story. Others have, perhaps understandably, high-jacked the subject to raise wider Islamic issues

The story is 100% true as far as I am concerned and related exactly as it was told to me.

The teacher in question visits North Devon (where I live) during the school holidays and walks Oscar the black labrador on the beach.  As a fellow dog-walker we meet up occasionally and have a chat.  I don't know him well, but have no reason whatsoever to doubt its validity, he's always seemed a straightforward chap.

It's a cracking job, by the way, he takes the kids all over the world.  They're going to Hong Kong and Beijing next week to visit the Harrow franchise schools.

good spin on the lab

Thank you for the kind words, Mister Badger.

It's not Becky, though, he's an Oscar.  I'm sure your friend could confirm the story should you meet up in the near future, however.  Ask her about Oscar the (appropriately) biology lab.

Wesdag What in the OP or in his confirmation post gives you reason to doubt it. Its hardly a far fetched story.

Why dont you phone Harrow as he suggested.

It's true. I have a picture from when the dog left the classroom:

Winston Churchill's old school and he really liked the muzzies.

A family down the road lost their Black Labrador and the young kids were very upset. "Put an advert in the local paper", I advised the parents and the youngest kid replied, "But, it can`t read"!

Its not really inflammatory compared to stories that are 100% truthful like the sexual abuse of 10s thousands (or More) of underage girls across the community by muslim communities.

Not doubting it, I just require hard facts of the whole story.

Given that this story has the potential to be quite inflammatory, I don't think a full appraisal of the facts is too much to ask for.

You have just about all the information I can provide, I'm afraid.  The only hard facts I have to offer is my telling of the tale.  Unless the story makes the papers, which is unlikely given it's Harrow, you'll just have to take my word for it... or not.  Or, of course, you could telephone the school and ask how Oscar the labrador is getting along at home.

^ Then why bother to post?

Seems very trivial on the face of it - as you point out.

Comparatively speaking.

Perhaps a chit chatter could organise a petition?

Or bring it to the attention of the Daily Mail?
