An Islamic school in Birmingham says it is drafting a complaint to Ofcom in light of a Channel 4 Dispatches show.
Lessons in Hatred and Violenc e, aired on Monday evening, showed footage of a preacher at Darul Uloom School with
extreme views.
Dispatches said it stood by its investigation and that numerous adults had been filmed teaching contempt for other religions.
The programme captured a class leader making offensive remarks about Hindus. He ranted that:
Disbelievers are the worst creatures .
Head teacher Mujahid Aziz said the school had been misrepresented.
A spokesman for Dispatches, which used a hidden camera installed by a reporter at the school, said its investigation had shown
footage of numerous adults, on different occasions, teaching pupils as young as 11 contempt for other religions and for wider society: We stand by our investigation and think the programme speaks for itself .
