Muslim Students Praise 9/11 Terrorists in Classroom

And when the teacher complains? HE LOSES HIS JOB.


Christian teacher 'forced out' after complaining Muslim pupils praised 9/11 hijackers 'as heroes'



In part:
A Christian teacher told today how he lost his job after complaining that Muslim pupils as young as eight hailed the September 11 hijackers as 'heroes'.

Nicholas Kafouris said he was forced from his £30,000-a-year post because he would not tolerate the 'racist' and 'anti-Semitic' behaviour of children.

He said the predominantly Muslim youngsters openly praised Islamic extremists in class, and hailed the terrorists of the 2001 atrocities as 'martyrs'.

Mr Kafouris, 40, told how one pupil said to him, ‘Don’t touch me, you’re a Christian’, when the teacher accidentally brushed against him with his arm.

Others said, ‘We want to be Islamic bombers when we grow up', and 'the Christians and Jews are our enemies, you too because you're a Christian', he added.

Mr Kafouris, who had taught at Bigland Green Primary School, in Tower Hamlets, East London, for 12 years, said there was a change in attitude of pupils at the school - where the majority of pupils are Muslim - after the World Trade Center attacks.

According to the most recent Ofsted report 'almost all' the 465 pupils at the school are from ethnic minorities and a vast proportion do not have English as their first language.

Mr Kafouris, a Greek Cypriot, said pupils told him, 'We hate the Christians' and, 'We hate the Jews', despite his attempts to stop them.

The teacher is now suing his former school, the headteacher, and the assistant head for racial discrimination after they failed to take action about the comments made by pupils to him.

He had filled out a 'Racist Incident Reporting Sheet' but claimed the headteacher Jill Hankey dismissed his concerns.

Discovered Another Zionist Online

Brandishing Beets



I haven't exchanged email yet, but in an online world seemingly dominated by people who believe that the Second Intifada is the beginning of all history in the Middle East, it's always a simple pleasure to discover like-minded souls. Especially in my region of the world.

I like that the blogger holds Code Pinko accountable in the profile section, too.

JD Salinger has passed

Jerome David Salinger is perhaps best known for his novel, The Catcher in the Rye. He passed from this world on January 27th, 2010 at the old, wise age of 91.

The aforementioned novel is one of my top five favorites.

Thank you, Mr. Salinger. Peace be with you and your family.
