BRIT KIDS WANT TO BE SUICIDE BOMBERS
J. Grant Swank, Jr.
School authorities are wary of youngsters dreaming of blowing themselves up as suicide bombers.
One young student shocked school personnel “by writing on a school book: ‘I want to be a suicide bomber’” per Nick Britten of Telegraph co.uk.
Pupils as young as ten are into the Muslim craze. This is what happens when the killing cult intrudes upon a civil culture.
Islamic allegiance to the Koran is antithetical to every other societal norm. It certainly does not belong in a Christian heritage environs.
Christ told His followers that the chief commandments are loving God with all one’s soul and loving one’s neighbor as he would himself.
The Koran’s Allah dictates to devotees to enslave or slaughter all non-Muslims.
The Islamic lifestyle does not in any way wed to the Christian heritage lifestyle.
Yet the civil societies are giving multiculturalism a try; however, it is not working for the host society. Therefore, Muslim intrusion must be stopped as soon as it appears.
“The Channel Project was set up in the wake of the 7th July terrorist attacks in London.
“It is operated by the Home Office and the Association of Chief Police Officers, and works with schools, Muslim communities, youth workers and social workers.
“Teachers and parents are asked to look out for warning signs and police officers work alongside Muslim communities to identify impressionable children who are at risk of radicalization or who have shown an interest in extremist material, either on the internet or in books.”

MUSLIM VEIL NIXED. SURGICAL MASKS INSTEAD
J. Grant Swank, Jr.
The Muslim niqab ban prompted innovation. Muslim females substituted the niqab with surgical masks, per Reuters.
At Cairo University female students sported these masks “to circumvent a government ban on the full-face veil in exams.”
Question: Who knows if those veiled are actually females? Could some males create their own hoax?
It is like the twist at the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences.
“The Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences e-mailed students about the initial changes this week, saying, ‘Any head covering that obscures a student’s face may not be worn, either on campus or at clinical sites, except when required for medical
reasons.’
“School officials said the policy was intended to ensure that all students would be identifiable ‘for reasons of safety and security.’
“But on Thursday, the policy was changed to include an exception ‘for medical and/or religious reasons.’”

Now at the Massachusetts College, who knows if some of the veiled are in reality males in full-female garb playing games with the absurd ruling?
Cairo government officials informed the public that the ban with the veil was because students were “disguising themselves as other candidates.”
The government “has been fighting the growing influence of strict Saudi-based Wahhabi ideology.
“Mohamed Saleh, Dean of the Faculty of Science at Cairo University, monitored examination rooms on Saturday to ensure the ban was implemented, ordering supervisors to withhold exam papers from women who chose to wear the veil.”
Massachusetts applauds the veil. Cairo does not. Confusion instituted.
“Any student who wears the niqab during an exam will have her paper withdrawn and will be treated as though she has cheated,” Saleh said.
