Teacher Suspended For Mocking Muslim Student: ‘Are You Grieving Because Uncle bin Laden Died?’

FRIENDSWOOD, Texas (AP/THE BLAZE) — A Southeast Texas teacher has been put on leave pending an investigation into an allegation that he made a racially insensitive comment to a Muslim student referencing the death of Osama bin Laden.
The teacher is accused of offending the American-born female student on Monday during a ninth grade algebra class at Clear Brook High School in Friendswood, located 23 miles southeast of Houston.
District spokeswoman Elaina Polsen did not return a message left by The Associated Press on Wednesday. In a statement to KTRK-TV of Houston, Polsen said the unidentified teacher asked the girl in front of the class if she was grieving because her “uncle” had died, referring to bin Laden.
KTRK has more:
A Friendswood mom says she was offended by what her daughter says happened Monday in ninth grade algebra.
She said, “The teacher told the student that ‘I bet you’re grieving.’ And she basically looked at him and said what are you talking about? And he said I heard about your uncle’s death and she said wow, because she understood that he was referring about Osama bin Laden being killed and was racially profiling her.”
The remark was made to a classmate, an American-born girl of Muslim faith. It happened at Clear Brook High School in the Clear Creek Independent School District. The mom wanted to speak out about the incident but wanted us to protect her identity, saying she doesn’t want any retaliation against her daughter or the girl who experienced the inappropriate comment.
The mother said, “The student ended up crying over what was said to her by the teacher and the teacher asked her why she was crying and another student said it was because of what you said earlier. And his response was, oh, OK, and just kind of smirked and giggled and walked away.”

Posted on May 5, 2011 at 1:47amJudaism is not a race. The term “Jew” translates from “person of the land of Judah/Judea”. You can say Jew refers to the race or tribe whose culture and nationality are from Judah (which is where modern day Israel is). Judah became two kingdoms at one point, Israel and Judah. Judaism was the reality for those people, those who inhabited that land.
The reason some out there are trying to tie Islam to race is because they want to reinforce the idea that you cannot change or convert to any other religion or belief. Its a dangerous thing when you tie a race to religion. Just like those african american who push the idea that you are not black if you are not a democrat. Theology or politics is NEVER something you are born as and cannot change, dont let them fool you.

Posted on May 4, 2011 at 7:59pmI agree completely. I pray for the day we can have another crusade, one in which western civilization joins hands and arms to remove the cancer of Islam and smother it until it is nothing but memory. This does not mean violence against people, but a joint effort to remove a clear and dangerous ideology, one easily far worse than Hitler’s genocidal ideology.

The way to beat the extremes of Islam or any ideology that encourages death and violence against the enemies of that idealology is with truth, in the way we live our faith, do our faith and speak of our faith. – by living it, doing it, and teaching it, and in the end becoming it.
Show with deed and works the better virtues of your faith, THAT is how you make the changes in defeating an ideology of death and hatered.

I usually agree with your posts, but not this time. How did that kumbaya crap work out for Chaimberlin? Some cancers have to be cut out. As for the teacher, I found little enough in the story to convict him. How was the student beraving? Was she carrying on about “murdering” OBL? Did the event even happen? Lord knows the towelheads lie like whores in church when asked about their brutal peccadilloes. And the fifth estate has a spotless record of never exagerating an incident to further their agenda. (sarc. off). So I’ll keep my bullets in my gun until I learn more facts.

Posted on May 4, 2011 at 10:09pmStrange, but I find myself agreeing with almost every post.
But I’ll take this opportunity to quote what American Islamist organizations are saying. People often say followers of Islam in the US don’t speak out against the extremists. They do, you just don’t hear it. Here are a few:
Council On American-Islamic Relations Welcomes Bin Laden’s Death. From a statement issued by CAIR:
We join our fellow citizens in welcoming the announcement that Osama bin Laden has been eliminated as a threat to our nation and the world through the actions of American military personnel. As we have stated repeatedly since the 9/11 terror attacks, bin Laden never represented Muslims or Islam. In fact, in addition to the killing of thousands of Americans, he and Al Qaeda caused the deaths of countless Muslims worldwide. We also reiterate President Obama’s clear statement tonight that the United States is not at war with Islam. [CAIR.com, accessed 5/3/11]
Muslim Public Affairs Council President: Bin Laden And Al-Qaeda “Violated The Sacred Islamic Teachings Upholding The Sanctity Of All Human Life.” In a press release, MPAC President Salam Al-Marayati said:
“We hope this is a turning point away from the dark period of the last decade, in which bin Laden symbolized the evil face of global terrorism,” said MPAC President Salam Al-Marayati. “His actions and those of Al-Qaeda have violated the sacred Islamic teachings upholding the sanctity of all human life. His acts of senseless terror have been met with moral outrage by Muslims worldwide at every turn in the past decade.” [MPAC.org, 5/1/11]
That’s enough I guess, either you’ll accept those statement or not. But don‘t say Muslims don’t speak out against terrorism without reading those and others posted in the link below. If you ever again say American Muslims are evil because they don’t speak out against terrorism, well, your political beliefs are stronger than belief in being honest with yourself and others.

Posted on May 5, 2011 at 11:50amTargeting ANY child – Muslim, Catholic, Mormon, Jewish, Baptist, Pentecostal, atheist, blond, brown-eyed, black, white, Hispanic, disabled…the list is endless – is just plain WRONG… and having it done by a teacher is especially abhorrent. FIRE HIM – NOW!

Posted on May 6, 2011 at 7:04pmLook at the tattoos on the Muslim mother’s arm whose i.d. is concealed by the camera. She’s got Muslim demon god(s) tattooed on her arm and what appears to be part of a crescent moon and star on her wrist? Then she says that Osama bin Laden does not represent the whole Muslim faith! Oh really?? Again, do your World Religions homework people. A Muslim is a Muslim. Final. They all believe in false demon gods, and pray to those false demon gods. And when you pray to false demon gods, you get demonic Satanic results.
