| Spanish ham (absolutely offensive to "Ham-o-phobic" Muslims...) |
According to the account of the facts, the teacher was explaining the different climates in a geography class and cited the village of Trevelez due to its cold and dry climate. According to the newspaper account, "as a story, the teacher told his students that such a climate was conducive to making hams (this refers to the procedure that it's necessary between the pig is killed and the ham is actually ready to be eaten). Then the student asked the teacher not to speak of hams since it offended him, because he was a Muslim. "Well, I can of course, believe it... and they are absolutely insane. Ham is basic food in Spain. If they don't like it, they have the frontier open to get back where it's forbidden...
The teacher told the students that in his classes, he did not consider the religion of their students, but apparently the family did not stay at home when they learned the facts, to the extent that they went to the National Police to file a complaint without speaking in advance with the teacher.
According to "El Diario de Cádiz", the teacher "is accused of being the author of an alleged crime of abuse of workers, also alleging racist and xenophobic motives. " His school colleagues can't believe what has happened and speak about the impeccable record of teaching reported.

"Then the student asked the teacher not to speak of hams since it offended him, because he was a Muslim."
I don't think there's a single verse in the Koran that forbids a teacher speaking about the animal in a classroom.002.173 He hath only forbidden you dead meat, and blood, and the flesh of swine, and that on which any other name hath been invoked besides that of Allah. But if one is forced by necessity, without wilful disobedience, nor transgressing due limits,- then is he guiltless.
So it's only about eating the pig!
rumcrook: yes, at least with this family, it would be that easy... Although I believe that in the end this is going to be similar to the "yodelling offends Muslims" case , in which the yodelling guy was fined wih 800 euros.
Will: well, but you know, you're speaking to them about something they can't eat, so you're provoking them. Women should be covered for the same reason: you can't excite their lust... because then you're responsible for exciting it, not them for actually having it... :(
Claudia,
This is like something out of Sienfield! Its like some kind of joke. If the authorities prosecute the teacher for this, it will reveal just how pathetic political correctness is.
One of my Spanish readers over at my Spanish blog told me some days ago that he didn't know sometimes if my blog was a joke or a serious politic-religious commentary one. With this kind of news, I really doubt it myself sometimes too!

I agree. :(
American Rose,
You said what I've been thinking -- and ranting about here at home.
I don't post as much anymore because I'm so damned angry all the time.
Some people have awakened, the rest refuse to bestir themselves from their comas.
Oftentimes, I feel like all our typing and commenting amount to nothing more than pissing into a gale-force wind.
When will the madness end?
When they're all dead WC. :(
This post sounds like something we would have made up as a joke.
The fact that it is true makes it all the more hilarious.
AOW, I felt guilty for my vulgarity the moment I hit "publish." But I'm so angry. What the hell is happening in the world that this barbaric ideology and these barbarians can be given any room in which to grow? It's insanity.
Hi AOW,American Rose.
Sounds like me.lol
God knows i have a short fuse ,good thing i've gotten older and have learned to use more selfcontrol ,It's an all out assault on everything that isn't Islamic and our only hope is to wake up enough people before it's too late.The best we can do is inform people what exactly is happening every day 24/7 against the "infidels".

Like I said, this is like something out of a Seinfield episode.

Not sure if that's possible with this Blogger template.
Reader,
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll see what we can do.
