What a liberal’s delight living in a country where obviously this is allowed to happen.
This shocking story sends chills down my spine. Of course many of those on the liberal-left in Canada won’t be put off at all. Svend Robinson counted Yasser Arrafat among his heros and tried in vain to meet him personally while he was an Member of Parliament.
Note that not just one teacher is involved. So it’s hardly an “aberration”.
Two teachers at the Abraar Islamic school in Ottawa were suspended yesterday pending an investigation into the encouragement or incitement of hatred against Jews expressed in a young student’s violence-laden writing project.
Principal Aisha Sherazi said the seven-member school board and administration were “shocked” by teacher involvement in the project that was brought to her attention by the Citizen yesterday morning, and decided at an emergency meeting to suspend the instructors.
One teacher was apparently involved in the artistic production of the eight-page story of killing and martyrdom. Handwritten in Arabic and titled The Long Road, the cover page was illustrated by a drawing of a burning Star of David beside a machine-gun and Palestinian flag atop the Dome of the Rock, an ancient Muslim shrine in Jerusalem.
The other teacher had written comments on the student’s paper, praising the boy’s story of revenge for the assassination by Israeli forces a year ago of Sheik Ahmed Yassin, a co-founder of Hamas, in retaliation for suicide bombings against Israeli civilians.
“God bless you, your efforts are good,” the teacher wrote on the title page. “The story of the hero Ahmed and the hero Salah is still alive. The end will be soon when God unites us all in Jerusalem to pray there.”
On the margins inside the story, the teacher had written a note endorsing the boy’s fantasy of a young Ahmed Yassin and his friend, Salah El-Dine, ambushing Israeli soldiers.
“Without thinking, Ahmed took his M16 machine-gun and threw the bombs, and he showered the Jews; this resulted in the killing of the soldiers,” the boy’s text reads. “Salah said: ‘You killed them all.’ Ahmed answered: ‘Praise be to God.’”

…and then we await the impassioned apology which will come in two days, and the cute little finger-wag from the oh-so-outraged liberal community, and then we go to the donut shop and eat donuts and discuss how gay marriage could possibly affect us personally so what’s wrong with it.
