The Ottawa Citizen reports that two teachers at a local Islamic school have been suspended pending an investigation for inciting hatred against Jews. The suspension came when one of the students at the Abraar Islamic school wrote a story about two Palestinians ambushing and killing numerous Israeli soldiers.
On the cover page, the boy drew a burning Jewish star and a Palestinian flag atop the Dome of the Rock. The two teachers praised the project in comments written on the cover and margins.
“God bless you, your efforts are good,” the teacher wrote on the title page. “The story of the hero Ahmed and the hero Salah is still alive. The end will be soon when God unites us all in Jerusalem to pray there.”
On the margins inside the story, the teacher had written a note endorsing the boy’s fantasy of a young Ahmed Yassin and his friend, Salah El-Dine, ambushing Israeli soldiers.
“Without thinking, Ahmed took his M16 machine-gun and threw the bombs, and he showered the Jews; this resulted in the killing of the soldiers,” the boy’s text reads. “Salah said: ‘You killed them all.’ Ahmed answered: ‘Praise be to God.'”
The Citizen included a translation of the boy’s story.
