Mohamed Merah is a ‘victim’ says French teacher who believes the media’s lies
MOHAMED Merah. Nutter. Child killer. Anti-Semite. Murderer of Muslim soldiers. Nazi. Mummy’s boy. And now a victim:
A French teacher was suspended Friday for allegedly urging her class to observe a minute’s silence for serial killer Mohamed Merah, the day after he was shot dead by police.
Education Minister Luc Chatel had called for the teacher to be suspended after her class reported she called Merah a “victim” and said his links to Al-Qaeda were invented by the media and “Sarko”, referring to President Nicolas Sarkozy …
Thankfully:
Most of the class walked out, though some remained “to try to understand what she was talking about,” their letter said.
Why did Merah videotape his crime?Why did take the trouble of strapping a video camera to his neck and filming himself chasing eight-year-old Miriam Monsonego through the school courtyard and shooting her three times in the head? Why did he document his execution of Rabbi Jonathan Sandler and his two little boys, three-year-old Gavriel and six-year-old Aryeh?The first answer is because Merah took pride in killing Jewish children. Beyond that, he was certain that millions of people would be heartened by his crime. By watching him shoot the life out of Jewish children, they would be inspired to repeat his actions elsewhere.And he was surely correct.

It was the latest in a series of attacks on minorities that have raised fears of a racist killer on the loose. (AP Photo/Jacques Brinon Pool)
