Spain: Muslim family denounces teacher for talking about ham in class

Here is my rough translation of a Spanish-language article about a manifestation of Islamic supremacism so outrageous that it is hard not to wonder whether or not it is a parody. But it doesn't seem to be one. "Una familia musulmana denuncia a un docente por hablar de jamones en clase," from Diario de Jerez, December 18 (thanks to Eloy):

A teacher at Menéndez Tolosa institute has been denounced by a Muslim family from La Línea because their son, a student in the first year of high school, felt offended during the course of a geography lesson, institute sources informed this newspaper.

This paper has learned that the teacher was lecturing normally on the different climates of the planet and used the Granada town of Trevélez as an example of a cold, dry climate. As an anecdote, the teacher recounted that just such a climate was conducive to the curing of hams. Then the student asked the teacher not to speak of hams since the subject offended him as a Muslim.

According to what this daily learned from sources at the school, the teacher responded that he was simply giving an example and that he did not in his classes take into account the religion that his students practiced.

This could have been simply an exchange of views, but the child's family, which never came to talk to the teacher about this incident in class, did not hesitate to lodge a complaint against the teacher at the National Police station.

Although no one contacted him, apparently a relative of the child did go to the school to talk to the Head of Studies and protest the example that the teacher had given in geography class.

Agents of the Judicial Police went to Menéndez Tolosa yesterday so that the teacher could provide a statement about what happened during the class. In addition, officials have requested disciplinary and academic documentation of the child in this school and the previous center in which he was enrolled.

This paper has learned that the teacher is accused of being the author of an alleged crime of abuse of workers, alleging also racist and xenophobic motives....

Well, well, well, offended by the mention of the word 'ham'. Then I guess we'll have to be PC and speak about islam's prophet as Momad, (or even MadMo!) so as not to mention the 'ham' in the middle of his name.

Of course, he was a pig, too.

Funny, isn't it, how muslims move into foreign lands and EXPECT everyone to cater to them?

So? I'm offended by Islam! In democracies we have the "RIGHT" to be offended, so to the muslims GET OVER IT!

I wonder what will happen when that Shakespeare play "HAMlet" opens???


What nonsense! If this is accurately reported, the student and his family are just making trouble. There is no prohibition in Islam of mentioning pork or alcohol or other haram things. If there were, Islamic law could not be taught, nor could the Qur'an, which mentions such things.

Add the magically unclean word "ham" to the list of urban legends.

Things like this are going to be very interesting when they start to become more frequent in the US.
If I was the teacher I would have told the student...."If you are offended by the word Ham....head on down to the principals office and I'll send someone for you when were done..."

They just aren't supposed to eat it, not talk about it, see porcelain pigs or hear of references. They know absolutely noting about their own religion. How retarded can people be, even for Muslims they are pretty thick.

"...the teacher is accused of being the author of an alleged crime of abuse of workers, alleging also racist and xenophobic motives..."

"Is ACCUSED Of." I'm sure he is ACCUSED of being a racist and a xenophobe (and probably a member of the Elders of Zion conspiracy, a blasphemer, a filthy kufir, a son of pigs and dogs, etc.)

I'm also sure that all of these ACCUSATIONS are unfounded, based on the facts.

I'm reasonably sure that the facts will matter very little in the adjudication of this non-incident.

I believe it. The more ridiculous and the more a story about Islamic supremacists seems like a parody, the more certain you can be that it's true. There is almost no way to be funnier than reporting the truth about Islamic supremacists, nor more tragic and ugly and inhuman.

Here is another growing list of things that offend Muslims...a new category needs to be added words

This list does mention ham sandwiches however...

Cheers!

The translation is without a fault, as far as I can see. However, the last paragraphs of the original text affirm the teacher's experience and spotless career.
This report seems trivial, yet it is not. The ideology that Palestine (panislamism's main weapon) embodies rebelliousness, poor people fighting against the "imperialists" etc. is prevalent in Spain. In Catalunya, home of the majority of known Islamist cells in Europe, almost everyone wears the "Palestinian" scarf - it's fashionable. Any news that allow a panislamist lie to come through (say, the "freedom flotilla") are greeted with screams like "Death to Israel!!!".
This example, together with countless others I've witnessed, show that this is no small matter.

Can this be distinguished from the student being offended that the teacher is not Muslim?

This is so sickeningly evil! Imagine, in Islamic-ruled countries, we 'infidels'/women/girls have to behave SLAVE-like to the barbaric Islam (as created by and here in the Judeo-Christian majority West, the barbaric Islam is increasingly ruling over our lives too! Those treacherous Western leaders especially from the Left should be put in the dock in the Hague in supporting Islamic Nazism, by betraying democracy and Judeo-Christian founded free Western civilization and great sacrific. They're forcing us to kneel down like SLAVES to Islam which is created to justify and legitimize the evil rape of children/women & the first systematic mass murder in history of the Jews/non-Muslims by the Arabic Mohammed & his savage warriors, to create the supremacist Nazi-like Arabic Empire!

.........................

Ludicrous. I attended a High school with a large number of Jewish students, quite a few of whom kept Kosher, and I am a vegetarian—none of us would have even considered lodging such a complaint. I remember one lesson in American history that mentioned the importance of corn and pork in pre-Civil War Southern agriculture. It was simply a fact.

Here's a travel site on the Grenada town of Trevélez:

Trevélez is the biggest ham-producing town in one of the biggest ham producing regions in Spain.

.........................

Complaining to the teacher, at the time, by the student, wasn't enough. The family's complaining to school authorities wasn't enough. These Muslims lodged a complaint about the mention of ham *at the National Police station*.

Clearly, they think this is part of Dar-al-Islam, where any comments by dhimmis may well get the hapless offenders charged with "blasphemy", facing prison time, or murdered by those same offended Muslims.

Or they hope it will be, soon...

Only one more step and people will be convicted for merely thinking of it. Sounds crazy, but this would've been called insane ten years ago. It still is, ofcourse, but people have been softened up by constant islamisation over the years so this almost sounds par for the course.

Watch the little muslims & muslimas learn to own their right to power by flexing their little multicultural muscles. Isn't it sweet?

I guess it's not going to look good in the frog population, either then, since when frogs vocalize in the marsh or ponds, there beloved homes, the frogs unfortunately tend to render a very deep sounding hammmmmmmmm!.....I guess that fact, if it ever gets out to the hi hos of islamisbad, should render the global frog population liable to become doomed and extinct, therefore, no more frog's legs. Oh my bad, did I say render? Oh, islamisbad, too bad.

Life Magazine, March 1, 1963, featured an article about the fear of snakes, with a huge photo on the front cover. In the March 22, 1963 issue, Letters to the Editor, p21, were complaints, including "I had to tape the snake story pages together so I wouldn't accidentally turn to them." and "I couldn't find out why snakes scare me. I couldn't open the magazine." You can see it all on GoogleBooks.

If there are such people in a free society so squeamish, irrational and infantile as to react so viscerally to a symbol of something that they somehow learned to despise or fear, imagine the ferocity that such mentalities could muster living a life of unrestrained religious teaching, bolstered by broad community support and fear of religious authorities. It's easy to condemn the parents, but under pressures that we haven't experienced they never developed the capacity to empower their intellect. This is not to support their intrusion - Spain must resist them or adios Spain.

I don't see anything here about the local imam's opinion on the matter. That might make this all go away, or if not, then at least place the focus of the dispute where it matters.

Clearly, the Muslim family needs to take up some activity that would help them with anger management. Might I recommend yodelling?

They are the sons of Ham (literally and historically). I am Offended. Lets send their offend-meter off the charts. Maybe their heads will explode and blood will shoot of their eyes.

Here's what you may not know about our enemy.
Israel National Radio Interview with Marc Rubin on authentic ancient history: http://www.marcrubin.com/judean-eve.ivnu

Was it a "special" school?

This is SO disgusting. I am SICK and TIRED of bending over to these sand rats. And that's what they are - nothing but thugs. I wont even call them Neanderthals, cause they at least had some intelligence.

Muslims AROUND the world, are duplicitous, pompus thugs who impose their beliefs on everyone. Just what a bully does.

Maybe only 10% are radical, but the other 90% turn a deaf ear and blind eye. And THAT, in my opinion, is just as bad as pushing the button on the suicide bomb.
