Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Canada: High school teacher reprimanded for insulting Islam on Facebook

Mar 4, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“Yetman’s behaviour raises the concern that students in his classroom may not be treated in a respectful fashion.”

That’s silly. The story here says he insulted other religions as well, but if he had insulted only Christianity, would there be concern that he couldn’t treat Christian students in a respectful fashion? If he had insulted Judaism, he would be considered a hero of the “Palestinian” “resistance.” We don’t know what he says because CBC doesn’t want to wound our delicate sensibilities (or commit blasphemy against Islam, possibly) by telling us, so we can’t tell how awful Yetman’s words really were. The constant problem with stories such as this one is that virtually any and every identification of the motivating ideology behind jihad terror is denounced as “discourteous and disrespectful.”

“‘Insulting’ Facebook comments about Islam and other religions earn B.C. teacher a reprimand,” CBC News, February 25, 2020:

A Vancouver high school teacher has been disciplined for writing “intemperate and insulting comments” about religion on a Facebook post advertising open houses at B.C. mosques.

John William Yetman has agreed to a formal reprimand after acknowledging he committed professional misconduct and signed a consent resolution agreement with the Commissioner for Teacher regulation, according to a public notice posted online.

“Yetman’s behaviour raises the concern that students in his classroom may not be treated in a respectful fashion,” the notice says.

The Vancouver School District reported Yetman to the commissioner after being notified of comments that Yetman made on a January 2019 Facebook invitation to Open Mosque Day B.C.

The public invitation advertised a chance to “explore B.C.’s major mosques as we open doors to welcome everyone” and promised “delicious snacks and … wonderful conversations,” according to the notice.

In response, “Yetman wrote intemperate and insulting comments about religion,” the notice says.

“Members of the public saw Yetman’s post, and some reported feeling concerned that a teacher would display this level of intolerance.”

At the time, Yetman’s Facebook profile identified him as a teacher employed by the Vancouver School Board.

After Yetman became aware of the concerns about his comments, he deleted them, along with other Facebook posts that were “insulting of other major religions,” the notice says. It describes his language in the comments and posts as “discourteous and disrespectful.”…

    What about the saying that if one expects respect, one must show respect? Why cannot the low intelligence quotient inbred sub humans learn to respect the morals and laws of the people who permitted them to arrive in the first place? This is obviously a rhetorical question where the answer lies in the Qur’an such as Surah 9.9, “The caliph fights all other peoples until they become Muslim (O: because they are not a people with a Book…” but I still feel so frustrated that elected leaders and civil servants at all levels of governments and administrative functionaries remain willfully blind to the facts of reality.

    Canada has freedom of speech regarding Islam as long as it’s not discourteous or factually correct. But you can still tell jokes about the Rabbi and the Priest.

      “Canada has freedom of speech regarding Islam as long as it’s not discourteous or factually correct.”

      Therefore they do not have freedom of speech regarding islam…

    You have to remember, in Canada, truth is not a defense. And this is no joke.

    Once again, someone is punished for stating what they are thinking.
    This is not just an assault on free speech, but also upon free thought.
    And this is one of the many traits of Islam, NO FREE THOUGHT.

    More crushing of freedom of speech in Canada. This just keeps getting worse there.

      Gravenimage,, You are soooooo correct but it was not that long ago that the Canadians had the opportunity to remove the shackles of the leftist/Islamic Trudeau but refused to do so. I am so glad that I live south of the border (not too far south but far enough as not to have to live where the concept of our 1st Amendment to the Constitution does not exist).

    • gravenimage says

      Yes–the First Amendment is invaluable. Right now, Canadians are stuck with Trudeau until 2023.

    The message mentions the “welcome” at the barracks…the snacks and the conversations…but says nothing, zero, zip, about any other religion’s going’s on; no idea of what he may have said about these “other” religions.
    Of course, this is all about the poor hurt feelings of the most sensitive…in feeling hurt, devastated, offended, depressed, etc….and the most insensitive…saying things about other’s religious beliefs to the point of using the most offensive language…pigs and apes…and lies…Jesus will return and kill all Christians, etc. adherents of any religion.

    islam has made such inroads in the past decade…since moslims attacked and murdered the people of NY and Washington, and in a field in Pennsylvania…to the point it is no longer possible in many countries where citizens value being able to speak their minds, to speak their minds.

    The F.B.I. and other agencies, can’t hear the truth about islam from Mr. Spencer. Mr. Ibrahim was scheduled to speak at the War College, and his speech was cancelled…later reinstated..and the conspirators at cair have such power, they manage to keep other speakers from colleges, have people fired, force others to apologize for speaking the truth, etc.

    The “wild beast” of Revelation 13 has, with the assistance of satan, “the dragon,” and the “false prophet,” built such an evil “image of the wild beast,” that it really looks like no one “can do battle with it.”

    Truthful comments about Muhammad, his life and his laws are deemed “discourteous and disrespectful” by persons who are ignorant or willfully ignorant about Islam today and its place in history.

    As Christian Prince likes to say:. I am not mocking Islam, Islam is mocking itself. Therefore, just display the facts of Islam; that will do the trick for all who have a functioning brain.

    The Muslim prophet Mohammad was an evil piece of trash because he was a slave runner and child molester.

    The Organization Of Islamic Cooperation created the word “Islamophobia” in the 70s

    Iqra Khalid, Muslim member of parliament introduced M-103, a motion about hate speech in the late 90s
    After spending millions of taxpayer’s dollars, and not allowing many Canadians to testify at the hearings, M-103 was implemented. The men at Palestine thanked “Loyal sister for her work”.

    It is now time for the CBC to report the hate speech coming from many Muslim leaders and Imams in Canada, after on a level playing field it is the duty of the (so called) press to report the truth.

    Here is a small sampling of statements made by some people living in Canada:

    Osman Haji, Imam at Sahaba Masjid Mosque in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
    “Who are those that earned the wrath of Allah?….They are the Jews….Those who were cursed by Allah. Allah was angry at them and turned them into Monkeys and pigs”.

    Muslim scholar, Mohammed Saliheen Al-Munajjid in Canada explains why Allah turns “some of the children of Israel” into pigs and apes and how this term is related to the Quarnic verse “those who have evoked (Your) anger”.

    Imam Hussein Amer, Quebec Council of Imams
    “Allah punished the children of Israel by transforming them into apes and pigs because they committed a major sin or did nothing to prevent it. Only those who warned of committing the sin were saved from being punished” and according to Amer, “the sinners survived only another three days in their new form as animals before dying without leaving behind off-spring”.

    Imam Mostafa Saad Hannout, Masjid Mosque, Toronto, Ontario, CANADA
    “Oh Allah show your kindness to our Brothers in Gaza.
    Oh Allah give them victory (help)
    Over your enemy and their enemy
    oh Allah, take revenge against the grandchildren (descendants) of the apes and pigs”.

    Imam at 9000 Bathurst Street in Toronto, Ontario, CANADA
    Temporary or permanent marriage with 9 year olds is moral.

    Al-Andalous Islamic Center in Montreal Imam
    “Destroy the accursed Jews, kill them one by one and give victory to our brothers who engage in jihad for your sake everywhere”.

    Ottawa Imam Abdu Albasset Egwilla
    “Martyrdom in the name of Allah”

    Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Imam Amman Elkasrawy
    “Oh Allah count their number; slay them one by one and spare not one of them”.

    Imam Mazin Abdul-Adhim, Canadian head of Hibtz Ut-Tahrir, the off shoot group of the Muslim Brotherhood hoods, living in London, Ontario. From Iraq and allowed into Canada, a disgrace to Canada, this so called Canadian citizen calls for Islamic caliphate, tells Muslims not to wear a poppy—here was a perfect time for CBC to do a story about what Don Cherry was talking about— and says Canadian soldiers are “war criminals”.

    “Pigs and monkeys is what I call the likes of Netenyahu, yes he is much worse than pigs and monkeys, I’m trying to be nice actually”.

    That is how this traitor to Canada talks and is allowed. If we actually had just one politician who would grow a pair or a backbone, this total farce of M-103 would be erased and many, many Muslims // Muslim Brotherhood hoods would be kicked out of this country for good. IF, IF, IF, IF only the CBC were to be sold off, we Canadians have enough collaboratoring politicians, we do not need the state run propaganda news organization to further Justine’s, Freeland’s, Alghabra’s, Khalid’s and Georgie Soros’s globalist agenda.

    The Teacher didn’t insult Islam. It insults itself! Just read the Koran & just look at its “Founder”! These bunch of Jokers are kow-towing to a degenerate, perverted, Fascist Ideology. Complete Muppets!

    This jihadwatch posting about Facebook reminds me that ,somewhat near the end of this month I will be released from what some people call “Facebook jail” because last month I posted an essay on Facebook that was found to be in violation of their “community standards”

    So here is the posting that went against the CS of Facebook which it placed me on that thirty day ban for

    ” The “Palestinian Authority’ is just as disingenuous, deceptive ,lying and violent as Hezbollah and Hamas are

    .So a ‘two state solution’ is not really a valid idea and not a genuine solution. It will definitely not stop this awful Israeli –Muslim land conflict.

    Thus a “two state solution” is out of the question. This is actually just right and fine .This is because a “two state solution” not really a “solution” but an Islamic ploy of deception , a smokescreen and hoax and a fraud.

    For example those recent Hamas rocketed attacks in to Israel from Gaza reveals that even the idea of some people of dividing Jerusalem as well as other parts of the State of Israel between the Jewish people of the Muslim/ Arabs is nothing but folly. To engage the madness of such “talks” is a hoax and a farce .This is because in the so called “negotiations” between the heads of the Jewish nation of Israel and the leaders of the “Palestinians” the Muslim /Arabs the “Palestinian” leaders will speak the truth only when in happens to fit their agenda. The rest of the time the will be speaking half-truths and outright lies.

    For their goal is to obtain all of the land of the State of Israel ,.Even in it takes much time and it means getting the land piece by piece. So those “peace talks” are a hoax. For the “Palestinian”leaders are employing what is the Islamic doctrine of Taqiyya . Which is the Islamic dogma that lying and deception are good things to do as long as it’s done for the cause of the advancement of Islam. The insidious scheme is part of the stealth jihad .Otherwise known as “Islamic Gradualism.” This sly and something subtle strategy of disingenuous speech, lying deception of achieving the goal of all the land of Israel a war ploy that will be a disaster if the heads of the State of Israel are foolish enough to agree to divide the land of Israel with Muslim /Arabs ,the “Palestinians.” For if such a “peace dialogue” results in a divided land, the outcome will literally be murder. For “Palestinian” leader will allow the jihadists use that land as a base to launch murderous rocked attacks in to Israel. As for example, Hamas of Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon.

    Such false hopes for peace which are based on the foundation of lies are nothing new when it comes to Israel . For example, the Bible in Psalm 55:20, 21. Reads ‘Such men do violence to those at peace with them and break their promised word; their speech is smoother the butter but their thoughts are of war.” [N.E.B.]’ ”

    By the say such a ban I had received a number of times before from Facebook for offending its CS by truth expounding about Islam and Islam’s jihad
