Hate Alive and Well in Abraar Islamic school in Ottawa -- in Canada!

Islamic school suspends teachers over student's hate-filled tale -- 'God bless you, your efforts are good,' instructor wrote on Ottawa boy's story celebrating violence, hatred against Jews Juliet O'Neill, Ottawa Citizen, Mar. 24, 05

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.

[. . . . ] 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 Abraar school, established in 2000, teaches students full time from junior kindergarten up to Grade 8. About 260 students are enrolled at the school, which is located on Grenon Avenue, near Bayshore. The school web page says it is designed to provide "a proper Islamic environment for growing and learning" and to help preserve Islamic culture in Ottawa. [. . . . ]

Search: Ahmed Yassin, privacy reasons, does not speak or read Arabic, two translations, Encouraging or inciting hatred, Mary Schoones, translated from Arabic, Killing of 10 Zionist soldiers, the retaliation is coming, a machine gun and bombs, The award: US $1.000.000.000.000


When it does not want to answer Opposition questions that should be answered, our government hides behind "privacy reasons" and so do people promoting hatred in Islamic schools. Obviously, they must be looked at more closely. I would get rid of Islamic schools entirely for I believe they present a danger to democracy and to women in a democracy and in Canada. Most, if not all, are Saudi-financed and Wahhabi with instruction in Arabic. If the administration--as is claimed in this article--does not understand what is being taught under the guise of the "peaceful" religion, what else do you think is going on? Wahhabi / Saudi schools in Canada should not be allowed. They simply perpetuate the hatreds of extremist Islam.

Obviously, there should be no teaching in Arabic. It cannot be policed in this society -- and this is only the tip of the iceberg, I suspect, despite what one teacher who does not speak Arabic had to say. If this continues, we are fools. There have been enough indications of extremism in the mosques. I have written of these schools before -- that we do not know what is being taught. They cannot be supervised by the education systems we have when their studies are in Arabic.




Pupil's call to destroy Jews praised by teacher -- Ottawa private school March 24, 2005, CanWest / National Post

[. . . . ] One teacher was involved in the artistic production of the work, which was illustrated by a drawing of a burning Israeli flag beside a machine gun and Palestinian flag atop the Dome of the Rock, an ancient Muslim shrine in Jerusalem. The text beside it said: "With the call of God is the Greatest, the flag of Zionism will fall and will be destroyed."

The other teacher had written comments on the student's paper, praising the boy's story of revenge for the assassination in an Israeli attack a year ago of Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, a co-founder of Hamas.[. . . . ]

These schools would bear much more investigation.
