Abdullah Attacks His Teacher

In France, high school student Abdullah attacks his teacher, while his friend videotapes.

And, in Germany:


A TALL woman of 36 with long, dark hair, Greta Sommer dreads going to work each day at the Rütli school in Berlin where she teaches English. The only English words that her unruly pupils seem prepared to remember are obscenities that they shout out during class.

During a break on Wednesday she admitted: “I’m not sure how much longer I can go on.

“They turn up without pens or books,” she added of her pupils, most of them the children of immigrants from Turkey or the Arab world. “They fight, they set off fireworks, they kick in doors. There’s no point in trying to teach. If you hang up a poster, they tear it down.”

Her fellow teachers — all native Germans — feel the same way and have begged the government to close the Rütli school. “We’re completely exhausted,” they wrote in an open letter. “More teachers are off sick than students. This is a sign of unbearable pressure.”

Their plight has pushed the subject of Germany’s immigrant community to the top of the political agenda.

Angela Merkel, the chancellor, has convened an “integration summit” for this summer. On the agenda is whether the “naturalisation tests” being pioneered by two German states should be adopted nationwide.

An exam for immigrants in Hesse has prompted accusations that it is hostile to Muslims. The test includes questions such as: “In your eyes, were the perpetrators of 9/11 and the 2004 Madrid attacks terrorists or freedom fighters?”


So, in other words, the German authorities are already bending over into a prone and inviting position for the "immigrants", but all that prompts them to do is stick it in.

Wow, what a surprise.

ridiculous. wonder what could be so horrible the teacher did that made that guy DO THAT!! it's disgusting and scary.

The reason islam is not compatible with life in europe is their low disregard for basic constitutional rules like - all citizens are equal and women are *not* cattle.

I know even many non-muslim men hurt women, but the incidence of violence against women and a general attitude of scorn and superiority over women is _much_ higher in the islamic community.
