OTTAWA, March 25 (UPI) -- Two teachers have been suspended from a Muslim school in Canada for endorsing a student's story about killing Israeli soldiers to avenge the death of a Hamas leader. The Canadian Broadcasting Corp. reports that one of the teachers at Abraar Islamic School in Ottawa wrote on the work "God bless you. Your efforts are good." The story described a Palestinian fighter armed with bombs and an M-16 ambushing an Israeli Army squad. The cover showed a burning Star of David.
"Encouraging or inciting hatred is strictly prohibited at our school," the principal, Aisha Sherazi, said in a prepared statement. The school offers Islamic education to about 200 students from kindergarten through the eighth grade. |
