Islamic savages win again

St. Cloud Times – A St. Cloud State University student in a teacher-training program at Technical High School left the school in late April because he says he feared for the safety of his service dog. The school district calls it a misunderstanding, and officials there say they hoped Tyler Hurd, a 23-year-old junior from Mahtomedi who aspires to teach special education, would continue his training in the district. Hurd said a student threatened to kill his service dog named Emmitt. The black lab is trained to protect Hurd when he has seizures. [snip] The threat came from a Somali student who is Muslim, according to Hurd, St. Cloud State and school district officials.

The Muslim faith, which is the dominant faith of Somali immigrants, forbids the touching of dogs. [snip] Things didn’t go as well at Tech, Hurd said. Students there taunted his dog, and he finally felt he had to leave after he was told a student made a threat. Hurd met with Lockhart but said he did not feel comfortable continuing. Julia Espe, director of curriculum, instruction and assessment for St. Cloud school district, said the school needed to do a better job communicating. [snip] Steffens said it is important to respect different cultures and the rights of disabled students. “I think this is part of the growth process when we become more diverse,” Steffens said.

Spreading the religion of peace

The Hindu – Terrorists struck for the first time in Jaipur triggering eight serial blasts in a span of 12 minutes on Tuesday night in crowded market areas and near a Hanuman temple in the walled city leaving at least 60 killed and 200 injured. “According to the information I have received 60 people have died and 150 have been injured,” said Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje, who rushed back to the State Capital from Jodhpur. [snip]

Bangladesh-based Harkut-ul-Jehadi Islami(HuJI) is suspected to be behind the blasts that has taken the state authorities by surprise, Home Ministry sources said. Police said one explosive was defused by bomb disposal squad near the Hanuman temple. Blood was splattered at the scene of the blasts which tossed some of the victims several feet up. Preliminary investigations revealed that cycle ballbearings were used in the explosions to inflict shrapnel injuries on the victims.

Get worried when lefties make “real progress”

JPost – Hours before the arrival of US President George W. Bush, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said Tuesday evening that “real progress” has been achieved in the negotiations with the Palestinian Authority, and that “understandings and agreements have been reached on important matters, although not on all issues.” [snip] “There is some real progress, and some important understandings have been reached in important areas, though not in all areas,” he said.

All well and good Olmert, however there is that niggling issue of who exactly the Palestinian Authority is representing, last time I checked, them Palis had voted for Hamas not the PA, so under whose authority are they negotiating. Hamas are one of the scumbags who’re lobbing rockets every single day in the direction of Israel hoping to kill as many Jews as they can. Has any progress been made with them, will the rockets stop, are they going to hand Gilad Schalit over or does he fall into the ‘not all areas’ part of this “real progress”? See for yourself.
