More reasons for Synagogue Carry, Philadelphia edition
This is news out of Philadelphia. Note that I spent some time on Sunday looking for this to hit the national news and it did not.
The whole video from MEMRI TV is below.
The Muslim Society did address the video.
Executive Director Ayman Hammous said the Muslim American Society learned of the content of the video after the Middle East Media Research Institute posted a translation Friday. The society issued a statement calling the video “disturbing” and condemning the words used in it.
So they found the words disturbing?
Translation: “we agree with what ideology here but it looks bad when our kids say what we really think.”
The Muslim American Society asked the school board to dismiss the person in charge of the program, which it did, Hammous said. He said he’s “evaluating” the leadership of the Philadelphia chapter because they failed to provide proper oversight, but could not say yet whether anyone would be removed.
So the issue is the school “failed to provide proper oversight.”
Translation: “This was supposed to happen behind closed doors, how did video of this get leaked to the general public?”
Consider how many families had to be involved in something like this.
How many people had to know that a room full of children were being taught songs glorifying terrorism and the murder of Jews.
The attitude in the European Islamic community is that attacks on Jews anywhere is an attack on Israel. For Muslims who cannot travel to the Middle East for jihad, attacking Jews in Europe is a legitimate act.
Is this also being pushed in Philadelphia?
This is why I cannot take the argument from the Left seriously that the only threat to American Jews is from the Right and white supremacists.
Can these children every unlearn what they have been taught?
Is anybody even going to try?
There is a well established history of Hamas training and indoctrinating children in anti-Israeli terrorism and how that has facilitated a generational long conflict.
Will these children grow up and be a continuous threat to the Jewish community of Philadelphia, and beyond, for what amounts to their entire lives?
