Islamic Students Threaten To Kill Disabled Teacher’s Service Dog
Muslim threats force out disabled teacher with dog: Islamic students reportedly taunted ‘unclean’ animal
A Muslim high school student’s intolerance for a service dog needed by a student teacher with a disability has reportedly prompted the student teacher to abandon the last 10 hours of his scheduled assignment at Technical High School in St. Cloud, Minn.
The St. Cloud Times online said the situation developed with student teacher Tyler Hurd, 23, of Mahtomedi, who hopes to teach special education.
He’s a student at St. Cloud State University, and was assigned to Technical High School in the St. Cloud district for his 50 hours of student teaching, and took with him his service dog, Emmitt.
The newspaper said Hurd needs a service dog because of a childhood injury that leaves him with seizures, sometimes happening as often as weekly. The black lab is trained to protect Hurd when he has a seizure.
The school district told the newspaper it wasn’t really a threat.
“I think it was a misunderstanding where we didn’t really prepare either side for possible implications,” Julia Espe, curriculum director for the public schools, said.
Hurd, however, reported a student threatened to kill his dog. He said the threat came from a Somali student who is Muslim. Minnesota has a large Somali population, mostly Muslim, and they have been involved in issues over their religion in the past.
At the Minneapolis-St. Paul airport, many taxi drivers are Somali Muslims and they have raised objections to carrying passengers with liquor. Airport officials finally threatened to remove from the cab drivers’ line waiting for fares anyone who refused a passenger over the issue.
WND also has reported on the dispute over a taxpayer-funded school in a Minneapolis suburb serving mostly Somali Muslim students and accusations that Islam is being taught at the public facility.
Islam forbids its adherents from touching dogs.
Hurd earlier spent some time student teaching at Talahi Community School, where he said his experience was good. He told the newspaper Somali students there even petted his dog, although they used paper to keep their hands from actually making physical contact.
But at Tech, Hurd reported, students taunted his dog, and he left when he was told a student threatened the animal.
University officials said they waived the remaining 10 hours of work that Hurd was supposed to have finished.
“We came up with a solution because I felt threatened by it,” Hurd told the newspaper.
A meeting was set up involving Kate Steffens, the dean of education at St. Cloud State, and assistant principal Lori Lockhart of Tech, in order to avoid future problems.
“We certainly welcome (Hurd) in our district, and we hope we can get this all resolved so he feels welcome and his dog is welcome,” Espe said.
The college places about 1,000 students in 240 regional schools to help them get ready for careers in teaching.
On the newspaper’s forum, “scorpionthoughts” said: “The last time I checked this is the United States of America!!!!! So many people are getting shipped over here and expect to be treated like they and their beliefs are better …. If you don’t like the way things are in this country – stay in your own … place of origin!!!”

This is impossible, Muslims are peaceful. This is just a bunch of right-wing fear-mongering.

Glad to hear that, for the dogs sake. I’m sure the dogs don’t want muslim stench on them.
May 13th, 2008 at 7:11 pmQuit bringing those filthy, barking all hours, strays into the country. The service dogs make better citizens than they do.
May 13th, 2008 at 7:19 pmShould have really pissed the kid off and told him the dog’s name was Mohammad.
May 13th, 2008 at 7:21 pmJust shoot the Muslim
and the problems solved
May 13th, 2008 at 7:30 pmOther than Bedouins, the way they treat dogs in the ME would shock most serial killers. In fact there has been a conection made between intentional cruelty to animals and future serial killer types. I wonder if that applies to whole societies?
May 13th, 2008 at 7:33 pmSeems time for some Sno-Birds to stay home for a season and start taking care of business in MN. before they don’t have a home to go back to.
May 13th, 2008 at 7:43 pmLarge Somali population in MN huh?, I smell a Clinton in this crap.
Help stop islamic overpopulation and spay and neuter muslims. leave dogs alone.
May 13th, 2008 at 7:52 pmThat Service Dog is more valuable to American society than 10 of those mo fo yahoo muzzies a-hole kids.
May 13th, 2008 at 7:56 pmMuzzies hate dogs huh?
I’m going out tomorrow and get 3 more dogs…..just to piss in mohammed’s cheerios.
May 13th, 2008 at 8:25 pmThis is just like those damn muslim taxi drivers who won’t let guide dogs ride in their taxis. Seriously, its an animal. Its not a big freaking deal. Who cares if it doesn’t have hooves or whatever the criteria for “clean” is. That dog probably has better hygiene then the muslims do and the dog licks it’s own butt!
May 13th, 2008 at 8:58 pmJim’s got an alternative to Jihadikiller: Jihadispayer!
Of course, even eunuchs can be dangerous …
May 13th, 2008 at 9:01 pmI heard about this story on Rush’s show today and afterwards I just had the urge to shank the next muzzie I happen to see in the parking lot at WalMart. I know, not very intellectual nor Christlike of me.
May 13th, 2008 at 10:04 pmI’ve never seen a dog wipe his ass with his left paw…I’m sure the dog was grateful there was paper between it and those muzzie bastards. Who’s the more civilized here?

I am from Europe and the above WEAK political correct behaviour is a threat to our free society! ( and I hear these weak responses in Europe ALL the time……)
Good luck US!
May 13th, 2008 at 10:27 pmThose puppies are probably put on earth by the devil to tempt infidels and weak muslims
Instead of touching a dog and going to hell it’s better if they kill someone in their family for their honor, genitally mutilate women for their own good, stone a woman who was raped (without 4 witnesses present to the rape) for committing adultery and other common (religion of peace) sense practices. That is the sure way to heaven. Well, they’re all welcome to go to heaven in a hurry and leave us here to enjoy a sunny day.
May 13th, 2008 at 10:37 pmPolitically correct idiots, AND Muslims Hear Me, and hear me well:
Previous immigrants came here because they LIKED what we have here;
they liked WHAT we do here;
they liked HOW we do things here.
In short, they came because they WANTED to be AMERICANS.
If you do not want these things, that’s fine; go HOME, or — if you’re a misguided PC idiot who was born here — LEAVE!
IS THAT CLEAR?
