This is quite revealing in many ways. And the chances of the people who threaten the reporter’s life on Twitter being prosecuted?

A teacher’s distress – She speaks about ‘Charlie’ to her students who display utter contempt for the minute of silence, provocations…
Original translation by Sassy
From Fdesouche
Minute of silence met with misunderstanding, at times contempt, provocation…, a PEN (Priority Education Network) college teacher of the Grenoble Academy tells of her disturbing day.
On the morning of January 8th, our minister notified us by email of our duty to explain the values of the Republic. As teachers, it is our duty to explain the facts to our students, to promote contemplation, to help them understand.
“Why observe one minute of silence for people I never knew?”
My first exchange was with my 5th grade class of 12-year old students. They were very quiet. Except one who asked me: “Why observe one minute of silence for people I never knew?” I found this reaction to be violent. His classmates were also angry. They’re young, certainly more emotional than their elders. I saw this student’s words were not purposeful. He was provoking.
I summarized the events: human beings were killed. To ensure the minute of silence would be observed, I had to ‘take hold of the situation’, or else it wouldn’t have worked. I told them: “Do you realize the victims left home yesterday morning and said to their family ‘See you later’?”
During this moment of silence, I had to rein in those who were amusing their audience through a display of bravado. After the moment of silence, I felt a heaviness weigh down the class so I moved on to another topic. I had just seen a few of my muslim students stand up, head lowered, ill at ease for themselves, their families, it must be hard for those who established the parallel.
As to what happened in my classroom, this provocation, it’s meaningless compared to what some of my colleagues had to deal with. During the minute of silence, in the other classrooms, many students were expelled, some kept on talking, saying horrible things, while others laughed. A muslim 6th grader outright refused to observe the minute of silence. All these students, of ‘devious’ behavior, were sent to the principal’s office and to the school infirmary to be given a lecture no doubt different from that which they hear in their home.
Early afternoon, I attended my 4th grade class. They had just finished a French lesson during which they took part in a lively debate on the subject. They were noisy, agitated. I proposed we continue the discussion. Some said it was a terrible event, calling the terrorists ‘barbarians’. But one student started to express his disagreement. I also noticed another muslim female student sitting at the end of the classroom waiting patiently with her hand held up to speak.
“We will not allow ourselves to be insulted by a drawing of the prophet”
“Madame”, she says to me, “we will not allow ourselves to be insulted by a drawing of the prophet, it’s normal that we exact revenge. It is more than a mockery, it is an insult !”
Contrary to some, this young girl was not mincing her words, she was not provoking. Next to her, one of her friends, also muslim, agreed with her words.
I was upset, I tried to engage on the principle of freedom and freedom of expression. Then, another group of four muslim students became agitated: “Why do they keep on, Madame, since we already had threatened them?”
Many students tried to calm them down while explaining that Charlie Hebdo treated all religions the same way. Their French lesson class teacher had shown them the photos of other religions mocked by Charlie Hebdo. But they react according to what they hear in their home.
A division was created among the students
What distresses me, it’s the fracture this tragic event created in my classrooms which are normally well blended in. The result was a division among the students. Today, the atmosphere was gloomy, particular. This 4th grade classroom, usually sympathetic and dynamic, was suddenly divided into two clans. The sectarians suddenly resurged. And I am frightened for what will follow.
The school system must transmit our values but we are, at times, betrayed by the parents. We teach the children our republican values, but once they are home, they ditch them aside. They don’t trust us, their teachers. They don’t consider us as their allies but as their enemies. As a teacher, you ask yourself what they must think of you, of us – the teachers, us – whose mission is to teach them.
We have before us young citizens that entertain such ideas that we must ask ourselves: “Where are we heading?”
Dispatches Channel4 show on Islamic infiltration of UK schools
First, here are a couple of links that should bring you to the show.
1. The official one which only works if you are in the UK.
2. This one which kinda works everywhere but you may have to close some annoying adds and try a few times but it does play. (Better links will likely appear sooner or later)
Those of you who know how to use a VPN may want to set their location for somewhere in England and watch it on the original link.
This documentary starts out fairly well and does some reasonable exposing of some of the horror that takes place at schools now run by islamic authority. But it quickly turns on Jewish and Christian schools and tries to make the moral equivalence, if not directly by inference, that not teaching evolution as fact is equivalent to a Muslim school having speakers in who advocate murder of homosexuals and islamic supremacy etc. etc.
Yes, one of the most extreme sects of Jews seem to have underground schools where kids are taught in substandard buildings and probably do not get the standard British education among other things, and, if it is as presented, it should be stopped immediately. But the Christian schools in their example just taught creation in science class, (which is wrong no matter what you believe, as creation is a faith based idea and non-quantifiable and therefore not science even if true) and cannot be compared to what takes place in these muslim schools.
It is unfortunate that in the interest of ‘balance’ they had to pretty much destroy some solid points they made and expose some genuine problems which are a threat to British societies and even sovereignty by comparing it to annoying but relatively banal problems that no-doubt do exist in other faith based schools.
When they can find a Jewish or Christian school that advocates killing of the other, of treating music as a crime or one of the other myriad issues at Muslim schools which are anathema to British culture and history and law, then they can be included. Sadly though, by the end, it looked like a kind of dhimmitude on the part of the video maker as they tried to hard to say that it didn’t represent real islam, and that other religions do this too without any sort of percentage that might give a hint as to how widespread it might be across these faith groups.
In any case, its worth watching even if it makes you angry by the end.
Eeyore for Vlad
Douglass Murray on British school subversion by muslims
There are many things to watch out for in this clip. One interesting moment is when the woman convert insists on not being called a convert, presumably because muslims pretend all people are born muslim and their parents convert them to something else so they ‘revert’ back to islam. The woman therefore is demanding that all people ignore their own system of thought, and for that matter, reality itself, and submit to her values, at least outwardly or be branded with the new ‘scarlet-letter’ of racism.

Jack Buckby interview part II
Interview with former Poli-sci student from University of Liverpool, Jack Buckby
This is part I of what will likely be a 3 part interview. It gets quite interesting. I hope to have the rest of it done within a day or so. Thank you Jack for taking the time with me to do this and best of luck to the Liberty Great Britain. The natural home it seems, for law abiding indigenous English people who have been grotesquely abused and selectively enforced against for believing in themselves, their own culture, their own history and a right to preserve it in the country which they built.
News links April 14 – 1 BBC uses word, ‘Islamasize’, Canibal muslims re arrested in Pakistan
Below is a headline we don’t see very often anymore. lol!
1. Boy’s head found in home of convicted Pakistani cannibals
MULTAN, Pakistan – Pakistani police re-arrested a convicted cannibal on Monday after finding a young boy’s head in his home.
Mohammad Arif, 35, and his brother Mohammad Farman, 30, from the small town of Darya Khan in central Pakistan, served two years in jail for cannibalism and were released last year.
(Below, the real story isn’t the one that blogs like this and observers of Islam have known is happening or predicted. The real story is that the BBC, for the first time I can recall on this issue, actually asked the right questions even if they were stonewalled)
2. Trojan Horse: 25 schools probed over alleged takeover plot
There will be much more to come on the events at the ranch in Nevada. In fact, I am getting reports that the feds are gearing up for something now.
Some of the articles on the DDOH attack on Ayaan Hirsi Alli’s
In this case, it means Distributed Denial of Honorary degree attack.
For those not familiar with the old Charlie Brown comic strips, one of the main characters, Lucy, who used to set up shop as a pretend psychiatrist in order to better deliver more effective snarks and zingers at Charlie Brown, also had a favored humiliation for him. One that in one variation or another may seem familiar to many.
She would convince him to kick a football she would hold for him, then pull it away at the last second in order to enjoy seeing him hurt himself. (I suspect Charles Shultz dated some of the same women I did) This was a running gag for the entire lifetime of the Charlie Brown comics as far as I can remember. And, it seems, to the people at Brandeis who first offered Ayaan an honorary degree for the extraordinary work she has done for human rights around the world, and then publicly yanking it away at the last second. Quite possibly because it would add humiliation to her, presumably because of her views of Islam. Views which she comes by honestly in the most personal conceivable way. In as much as FGM performed by an imam is personal of course.
Link 1. What Ayaan Hirsi Alli would have said:
The connection between violence, particularly violence against women, and Islam is too clear to be ignored. We do no favors to students, faculty, nonbelievers and people of faith when we shut our eyes to this link, when we excuse rather than reflect.
So I ask: Is the concept of holy war compatible with our ideal of religious toleration? Is it blasphemy—punishable by death—to question the applicability of certain seventh-century doctrines to our own era? Both Christianity and Judaism have had their eras of reform. I would argue that the time has come for a Muslim Reformation.
2. Phyllis Chesler: Op-Ed: Honor Dishonored: Brandeis and Ayaan Hirsi Ali
In 2003, Brandeis partnered with Al-Quds University—and did so, year after year, until 2013, when violent demonstrations broke out on the Al-Quds campus, replete with traditional Nazi salutes.
In 2006, the Brandeis community of students and professors did not protest the Distinguished Professorship Brandeis awarded to the “inflammatory” anti-Zionist playwright Tony Kushner.
In 2006, Brandeis also staged a “Voices of Palestine” exhibit. Seventeen paintings by Palestinian youths depicted their lives under Israeli “occupation.” This time, refreshingly, Brandeis students had the exhibit taken down because there was absolutely no Israeli perspective being exhibited.
3. Diana West: Enforcing islamic law at Brandeis.
Islamic blasphemy laws sanction the death penalty for exactly the kind of criticism of Islam ex-Muslim Hirsi Ali has engaged in: hence, the innumerable death threats she has received for over a decade; and hence, the ritual Islamic slaughter of Hirsi Ali’s co-producer, Theo van Gogh, for “Submission,” their short film about specifically Islamic violence and repression of women. In the U.S. (so far), punishment for such “transgressions” against Islam usually resembles an aggressive form of blackballing. There are horrifying exceptions, however, including the decision to prosecute and incarcerate Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, producer of “Innocence of Muslims,” for “parole violations.” To be sure, when it comes to participating in the 21st-century public square – in this case, donning academic robes and making valedictory remarks – “Islamophobes” need not apply.
Click over to the links and read the full text if you are at all able. I think some of the shocking history of that university at Ms. Chesler’s article, link #2, are quite worth knowing.
This event, bad enough as it is on its own is considerably more serious when you realize its an iceberg tip in terms of how universities have come to tolerate far leftist agitation without any kind of checks and balances, or even become, as Diana West suggests, outposts for them via cultural Marxism or out-and-out sharia law advocacy as we saw years ago with denial of access to Kurt Westergaard and Lars Hedigaard at Diana’s own alma matter, Yale if I recall correctly. I also find it interesting that had it been a well-known conservative university that had pulled this same stunt, cries of racism would be deafening the legacy media till MSNBC news anchors were hoarse in the throat. I wonder how Brandeis is getting away with that so far.
Some student Israel-hate from France.
Oz-Rita has sent us the following information.
The video below appears to be a group of anti-Israel students who, on top of having public demonstrations where the make their hatred of all things Israeli as public as possible, also demand that no one take their picture or video the demonstration.(I wonder if they go to a restaurant and demand to eat several cakes and not gain any weight after?)
Here is a link to an article in French about this event:
The highlights are:
Friday 14 march, the president of Paris VIII University threw out 10 Israeli students, who had actually been invited to a debate. In Saint-Denis the pressure from radical, ideologically anti-israeli students is so strong that the “president” found nothing better than to publicly humiliate these young Israelis to calm the anger of these students.
One of the 10 israeli students, Nicolle Perle, has written a witness letter to the students of France

Their title: “The France of hatred hits Paris VIII” (la France de la haine sevit a Paris VIII)
Michael Coren exposes a little of whats going on at Campus anti-Israel week
Huron University, a muslim only course and the woman who teaches it.
Michael Coren interviews Tarek Fatah about the man expelled from a public university course for not being a muslim.
Here is Ingrid Mattson in her own words and here on what she was teaching not so long ago) Here is another expose on sister Mattson
Here is a course she taught in 2007 at Hartford
Here is the interview with the man who audited the course and was expelled for not being a muslim
Thank you CB very much for this material. More to come. This is no small thing. This is capitulation to the very kind of Islam that the weak-kneed apologists for islam, the ones who claim there is several kinds of Islam and only a tiny minority are violent and misunderstand their religion, well this is promoting those exact ‘few’ and at our expense in every way.
More on the Muslims-only course at a publicly funded Ontario-Canada university.
It cannot be stressed enough how important it is that Canadians become aware of this issue, the facts around it and the real implications of it. If you know any Canadians, please discuss this with them. This must become common knowledge.
I have posted a number of articles, radio shows and other material on this, and Michael Coren will be interviewing the man who was expelled tonight on his show.
Today, Barbara Kay wrote about it again at The National Post here: (Excerpt below)
There will be more on this. If one adds this story to a number of recent issues of Islam on campus and its demands on Canadian society, and frankly, even if one doesn’t, we see more than a threat to our organizing principles. We see the end of them. For all those young Canadian rebels who hate Harper, or our democracy etc. etc. be careful what you ask for. Like the American scientist who defected to the USSR during the cold war, this is a free country. “You may do what you want. But I doubt h”e, President Reagan is reputed to have said, “will enjoy that right anymore.”
I believe our rebellious anti-Western, Pro Islamic youth may find they have limited their own choices, as well as ours in much the same way.
Please check back tonight when I hope to have the newest Coren video on this most important issue.
Meanwhile, have a look at the Muslim Student’s Assn. pledge as read on a Canadian university campus:
Michael Coren and Tarek Fatah on the muslim only course at Huron college
Selective enforcement at Ontario Universities and Islam.
Yesterday, a link to a stunning National Post story was posted on a course being offered at an Ontario Canada university on rhetorical devices for better spreading and representing islam to a people fast wising up to it.
The prof. is a woman convert to islam who has the dubious distinction of being the first woman president of ISNA.
Below, a segment of an article linked here, by David Haris of INSIGNIS with some details about how this woman actually is.

Being Had for Dinner in Ottawa
Canadians are on their guard against the growing Islamist threat. After all, the last month alone brought the Boston Marathon bombing and arrests in Canada of suspected Iranian-linked al-Qaeda bomb-plotters targeting Canada-US passenger train routes. Add to that repeated stories of Islamist radicalism in Canadian neighborhoods and young Canadian Muslim terrorists abroad.
Against this backdrop, the last thing to be expected at this fraught time would be a public event in Canada’s capital showcasing a radical Islamist, boasting a master of ceremonies from the tax-funded Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, involving a respected mental health foundation, and including the wife of the highest office-holder in the land. Nonetheless, this is what is being planned for Ottawa this weekend.
The man who was told he could not audit the course because he was not muslim will be interviewed by Michael Coren Tuesday evening on SUN TV Feb 11 2014.
