Teacher sacked over religion row (muzzies, what else)
BBC ^

Posted on 02/04/2007 12:01:03 AM PST by World_Events

A supply teacher has been sacked from a secondary school following complaints from Muslim pupils. Andrew McLuskey was sacked from Bayliss Court Secondary School in Slough after a Religious Education lesson discussing the pros and cons of religion.

Pupils at the predominantly Muslim school claimed Mr McLuskey said most suicide bombers were Muslim.

But he rejected the allegation and said the school was too quick to sack him without giving him right of reply.

"Very unjust"

He expected to complete an eight week contract at the school - but was sacked after only several days. Deputy head teacher Ray Hinds says the pupils were very upset

"I feel it's very unjust," he said.

"I think I should've been given the chance to respond to the allegations and not in effect be ejected from a job without the chance to defend myself."

Didn't there used to be a country called England? I wonder what ever happened to it? I heard it was a nice place, once.

I think its gone crazy over there. I just watched all about the mosques over there. It was scary. I hope someone does one on American mosques too. It has been said that Prince Charles has secertly converted to Islam. I had the link. I know he is very interested in it. If England doesnt wake up its going to be too late or maybe it already is.....I have a daughter over there studying and it worries me to no end.

Likely there will be a stink about this when the public voices its disgust at the teachers "superiors'" caving in to PCism and SqueakyWheelGrease-ness. Possibly they will find themselves being looked at for dismissal.

Yeah, I'm sure our airport screeners are taught something like that.

Are the students, and the school administration, under the impression that this is NOT true?

No, I don't think so. I have never met a person who thought otherwise. The teacher was pointing out the obvious. Probably Muslim kids don't like to hear it but it's the truth. I can't even think of an incident that involved a suicide bomber and no Muslim.

Huh? This is up for debate? This is reason for dismissal? Who is the competition for most suicide bombers? Who's number 2?

Has there been a rash of Greek Orthodox Suicide Bombers that I missed?

Although I agree with what he said, I just don't understand why you would say these things at school. What does this have to do with reading writing and arithmatic? Plus he is teaching at a mostly Muslim school so it just makes sense to keep you mouth shut. No???? I guess if I taught at a Baptist school, I would say how stupid it is to not dance at a wedding or be able to drink or .....same thing??????

Well, the last suicide bombers that I can think of who weren't muslims were the Kamakazis of WWII. The last thing we want in schools are teachers telling the truth! Remember, "Facts are a Zionist Plot!"

What are you talking about? What do reading writing and arithmetic have to do with a Religious Education lesson discussing the pros and cons of religion?

It looks like western converts to Islam are empty and are seekers of fulfillment. The gift of faith is rare.

Well, I don't wonder that they disagrred with him.

The truth is that all suicide bombers have been muslim.

Fire the fool for not giving credit where credit is due.

How dare he!

Technically, I suppose, suicide bombers aren't muslim. Once they officially become suicide bombers they are simply enter the first stage of compost
