The eyewitnesses, the students who were in the room, are defending the teacher. He was trying to remove her hoodie, which are not permitted to be worn in the school. He accidentally pulled off her hijab as well. He has apologized. He has been placed on leave. Yet all this is not enough for Hamas-CAIR, which is calling for more disciplinary action. They want this teacher’s head on a platter, and they are so avid for this and refuse to accept his apology and explanation, because the idea of an “islamophobic” teacher ripping off a Muslim girl’s hijab in a frenzy of hate fits their narrative. If the facts of the case don’t fit their narrative, then so much the worse for the facts of the case. Hamas-CAIR would rather destroy this man’s livelihood, and his life, than admit that this was simply an accident and move on. They don’t have enough actual hate crimes against Muslims to allow them to miss an opportunity like this.
Here is one eyewitness explaining what really happened:

“Teacher Pulls Off Student’s Hijab at Fairfax County High School,” NBC Washington, November 16, 2017:
A high school student in Fairfax County, Virginia, said on social media she was shocked and infuriated when a teacher pulled her hijab off her head in front of other students at school.
The Lake Braddock High School student said on Twitter she was talking with a friend when a teacher approached her and pulled the hijab off her head.
“So my hijab was ripped off my head today,” she tweeted.
“Then he says ‘Oh your hair is so pretty’ and tries to play it off like it’s a joke,” she said.
After her hijab was pulled off, she ran into a restroom and called her parents. They contacted the school and a mosque.
The teacher, who was not publicly identified, told other teachers he thought the student was wearing a hoodie over the hijab. He reached to pull off the hoodie and the hijab came off, he reportedly said. Other teachers said both he and the student were embarrassed.
“This is horrifying,” said Ieasha Prime, the woman’s programming director at Dar Al-Hijrah Islamic Center. Women wear hijabs to identify as Muslim and to express religious modesty, she told News4.
“If there’s any part of my body that I choose to cover, my body is my business. And her hair is her business,” Prime said.
“A lot of teachers do that,” another student told News4. “They, like, pull your hat off or take your hood off.”
The girl whose hijab was removed said she had “appreciated and valued” the teacher, but criticized him for touching students in a series of tweets that went viral Wednesday.
The teacher was placed on leave by administrators.
“The teacher’s action was inappropriate and unacceptable. The school administration has apologized to the student and her family for the incident,” Fairfax County Public Schools said in a statement.
One Lake Braddock student told News4 the teacher was a nice guy and didn’t mean any harm.
But the advocacy group the Council on American-Islamic Relations called for more disciplinary action, saying in a statement that Muslim people are being targeted by hate.

CAIR and other radical muslim organizations should be banned and mosques should be monitored for hate speech and radicalization. If they don’t submit close them and deport them.

How are you going to monitor mosques for hate speech? Daily prayers are held 5 times a day, EVERY day of the week. Let’s say each prayer session is 15 minutes. That’s more than 1 hour of prayers to monitor every day and 365 hours a year for ONE mosque. How many mosques are you going to monitor? A hundred? A thousand? That would be 36500 hours or 3.65 million hours of audio or video tape to monitor. Who’s going to review all that video or audio?
Who is going to determine what constitutes “hate speech” or “radicalization”? What would you do if you found evidence of “hate speech” or “radicalization”? Fire the imam? Close the mosque? Your plan would devolve into nothing but a useless game of whack a mole.

Jail the Imam or deport him, close the mosque and then bulldoze it. Confiscate all monies connected with the mosque and put every person who attended the mosque on a watch list. That’s what I would do!!!

Not all mosques need to me monitored. Just the ones with Imams that incite violence and preach radical orthodoxy. Not all Christian churches are monitored but I guarantee there are radical preachers and congregants that are being watched.

Unfortunately all the muslum holey books, all of them, incite violence and promulgate antisemitism. You can’t have islum without its holey books.
Nice try, but Christianity doesn’t call for violence or promote antisemitism.

muslims have no place in normal society, they provoke trouble wherever they go and whatever hey do. What is worse, is the fools like school boards who go along with this culture baiting which encourages even more muslim bigotry against everyone else. Schools should have a dress code that clearly states the burkas and niqabs, as well as hoodies or other types of masks are forbidden, with the teachers haven the obligation to remove them from offending persons. The fools of muslims say they re targeted by hate, there are at least 106 demands in the qur’an that muslims hate everything that is not muslim, including other muslims that are not muslim enough.

I am thankful that I didn’t have to grow up with islamic sharia law in our schools. I am horrified that is being allowed to seep in now. Hijabs are not part of original islam, they came in because the men wanted to blame women for the mens lack of self control.

How to Obliterate the Islamists
– simple plan: “Haul Ass and Bypass” [Patton]
– easy to implement
– best idea I can think of
– we must promote the democratic free-enterprise republic worldwide
– these countries grow faster, are more free, live longer, contribute to civilization
– Islamist countries don’t
– leave them in the dust by outgrowing them
– impoverish the Saudis, Qataris, Iranians, Syrians, Lebanese, Libyans, etc.
– by advancing faster than them, excluding them from wealth creation
– get all democratic free-enterprise republics to gang up: “United Democracies”, right beside the UN.

1970: USSR a major world economy
2017: Russia is an economic pipsqueak
– democracies outpaced Russia
– S. Korea has a bigger economy than Russia
– source: tradingeconomics.com
– Israel could now defeat Russia in war
– Israeli nukes work, Russian nukes don’t
– why? $$$: Russia is broke and poor, getting worse
– same with Iran, NORKs, all Islamists
– no economic mojo, left in the dust

What we need to do is
– grow and support these organizations
– base them right beside the UN
– establish a democracies security council within a distinct building
– the UN can stay, as a local blabber-house

if my kids went there, I would pull them out and not return until this girl apologized to the teacher and the teacher was reinstated with praise from the principal. if your kids go there, you should do the same

Oh man. This is exactly what CAIR needed. If the girl didn’t like what the teacher did, her and her ilk should NOT ATTEND PUBLIC SCHOOLS then. Simple. It is clearly not a place for muslims. Their mere presence is a total disruption to the education process. In fact, it appears the school administration may have violated the teacher’s civil rights by disciplining him for no reason other than inciting islamic hysteria, which as of today, is not a chargeable offense. The teacher should sue the student, CAIR and the district for what they did to him.

That is what I have been saying. If having a hijab tugged, or accidently removed is so catastrophic, go to a place where they can be around their own kind. One of the problems with this is that Muslim schools are terrible, and they know that. http://www.isna.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/omar_ezzeldine_-_what_can_public_schools_learn_from_private_.pdf

How much trouble can they cause attending one of their own schools, virtually none. How much trouble can they incite attending a public school – the sky is the limit. Our fault for allowing, indeed large numbers actively encouraging, the invasion of trouble making HATERS.

By now, anyone with a brain who pays attention to current events knows that CAIR is a muslim brotherhood front group and a part of Hamas. So who really gives two good craps WHAT CAIR/Hamas thinks, says or does, as long as it’s not inciting violence? The more we pay attention to them, aside from monitoring their activities to ensure they do not violate the law, the more they gain and the more they will do this nonsense. I suggest we take a page from Marie Antoinette and say to CAIR “let them eat cake!”

Who CARES about the hijab being removed, honestly? The fact that millions of women believe that they will burn in hell forever for not wearing coverings is much more disturbing, to be honest.

Unhijab all the mudscum/ mudslime. The wearing of hijabs in public should be made illegal. On second thought, if they are fugly, the wearing of a hijab should be mandatory. The only other time that the hijaab should be worn is when they are ready to be put 6 ft under.

If one accidentally pulled a veil off a nun or a head covering off a Mennonite, and then one apologized, what would happen? Why do some groups or sme people feel they are special, or supreme to the rest? Accidents do happen, people should know that. After all, is not God alone perfect, is that not what many people of various religions believe? This teacher did nothing wrong, he is human, he accidentally pulled off a garment. This is the stuff of liberals and others to frighten people so much that every word and every action must be considered so carefully, that one prefers to stay silent and immobile. The only ones who are exempt, or may speak or may have accidents, or may act, are those from protected groups. Fight back and support one another before you lose the farm. Vote carefully.

This article now brings up further concern to me. On a train was a person dressed in a niqab, I think that is what it is called, where only a bit of the eyes are seen. This person walked up and down the aisles a few times. The aisles are tight and the passengers many. If some person, Lord forbid, has accidentally stepped on a veil, and one part slipped off, then what? What about escalators, are such garments safe there? Getting back to the train, is it legal not to know a person’s identity to some extent? Are the laws equal? Many might dress in various costumes, or clothing that obscure one’s identity. Would those be legal?
There was an incident where a woman was deemed to be wearing shorts that were inappropriate for a plane flight, she had to scurry about till she found pajama bottoms to buy and to put on. BUT, at least her identity could be determined. No one says anything. Therefore start adding up the numbers, and figuring things out, or, live with the outcomes.

So the school apologizes but that’s not enough for (I don’t) CAIR. They want more. They certainly don’t want to abide by their acronym which is to promote American and Islamic Relations. No, they want to dictate to us all how things are supposed to be; that’s the relationship they want. And, unfortunately, since liberals run the government indoctrination centers, they will bend to every demand of (I don’t) CAIR. Sad!

Strange how the mini slimmer’s version is so different then the witnesses and teacher though.

The teacher apologized for the accidental removal of the students hijab. Among humans, that is where it would end, with a sincere apology being accepted. When dealing with the subhuman species of muslim, there is no concept of forgiveness for an accident or anything else. Everything must be turned into a blood sacrifice, as the demon of islam is easily offended. Treat muslims the way they treat others, with complete distant, contempt, disrespect and abhorrence, muslims earn and deserve it.
The school administration deserves a pail of fresh feces dumped over its head for entertaining the concept that the teacher did anything wrong. As usual, the administration grovel to islam, why don’t Americans with balls ever get elected to public office?
