COP-KILLING THUG LINKED TO “ARABIC” SCHOOL

COP-KILLING THUG LINKED TO “ARABIC” SCHOOL

September 19, 2007

"On August 10, Debbie Almontaser resigned as principal of the Khalil Gibran International Academy [KGIA], a New York City public school billed as an “Arabic-themed” institution. She was pressured to resign following her response to a T-shirt that read, “Intifada NYC.” Though the term “intifada” is widely understood today to mean a terrorist “uprising,” Almontaser said that the word originally meant “shaking off oppression.” When the controversy continued, she quit. Now her supporters want the New York City Council to investigate the events leading up to her resignation; some want her reinstated.

Catholic League president Bill Donohue also wants an investigation:

“We are contacting every member of the New York City Council asking for an investigation of the coalition, ‘Communities in Support of KGIA.’ To be specific, on the coalition’s website, kgia.wordpress.com, it provides a link (see ‘Pages’) to ‘Mumia on KGIA.’ There one finds an endorsing statement by Mumia Abu-Jamal (with a link to his FreeMumia.org website). He is the convicted cop-killer and hero to anti-American left-wing extremists. Though there were five eyewitnesses to the murder, and five other witnesses who said that Abu-Jamal admitted killing the officer, the crazies still rally to his side; his appeal has been heard, and rejected, by more than a dozen judges."

Should have posted this article with this excerpt first.

FRY MUMIA!!

That cop-killing scum should have been executed 20+ years ago. The fact that he still draws breath so many years after his heinouos crime is a serious indictment of the mendacious and inept liberals who run PA.

I’d like to know why he’s the only one who found this.

It ain’t just PA. Executions are way too slow everywhere.

“Just one?”

Yes, it might be more appropriate to say, for now.
