A Minute of Silence for Jihad

A teacher at a French high school caused an uproar when she called for a minute of silence for Mohamed Merah, the late mass murderer of Toulouse who was shot to death last week by French police after a two-day siege.

  1. What a shame. those people should be not put in jail, but send in Islamia lo live a real islamic lifestyle, so if they have some brain left, they will change idea about islam.

    I didn’t wanted to talk about Toulouse. I wanted to keep respect for the killed jews, a silent respect.

    I’m concerned about our future. Probably we will die as dhimmy or faking a muslim faith in order to survive. I hope in government like Geert Wilder’s, but there is also the problem of some nazifascist parties (like thhe hungarian far right party). And nazi-fascist are enemies of Israel and friend of Hamas (and Co…)

    Gates of Vienna’s rules about comments require that they be civil, temperate, on-topic, and show decorum. Your comment violated the last of these rules. We keep a PG-13 blog, and exclude foul language, explicit descriptions, and epithets. This is why I deleted your comment.

    Use of asterisks is an appropriate alternative.

    Our pupils/students, (and parents of the newer generations), have now been rendered so thick, stupid and lethargic by the Lefty education system in Britain that they would neither have the brains to walk out or call their parents to ask for advice on the matter – in fact, they would probably believe every word the Marxist [obnoxious female] said!
