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.

Many thanks to Bear for translating this news report from French TV, and to Vlad Tepes for the subtitling:


A complete transcript is below the jump:

0:00 First of all, this initiative, almost unbelievable, an English teacher…
0:04 of Rouen high school demanded that her students respect a minute of silence.
0:08 in memory of Mohamed Merah. (Toulouse killer) We find Magalie Chalaise on site…

0:36 and she suggested observance of a minute of silence…
0:40 in memory of the Toulouse shooter…

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...)

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!
