Toronto police force rabbi to stop hosting Pamela Geller event

 

New post on Creeping Sharia   Toronto police force rabbi to stop hosting Pamela Geller event by creeping Sharia keeps on creepin, creepin, creepin, into our countries. via Shocking: Toronto police force rabbi to stop hosting JDL / Pamela Geller event (video) h/t Kathy Shaidle Meir Weinstein talked to Michael Coren about the shocking development surrounding Pamela Geller’s visit to Toronto on May 13. The rabbi of the original venue, Chabad Flamingo, was visited by police, who informed him that a Muslim group (or groups) complained to him about his hosting of Geller’s JDL sponsored talk. The rabbi was told he would lose his position as a York Region police chaplain unless he cancelled Geller’s talk. He therefore felt obligated to pull out of his involvement in the event. Now the JDL is arranging a new venue for Geller’s visit. Pamela Geller WILL speak on the scheduled night, somewhere in the Toronto area. Your ticket WILL be honored, regardless of the location. More: Veerappan said he told Kaplan that Geller’s speech “would not be endorsed by York Regional Police” and that the rabbi’s role as a force chaplain would be thrown into question if he were to allow the event. “If he did (host Geller), then we’d have to reassess our relationship with (Kaplan),” Veerappan said. “We serve the needs of the entire community. Some of the stuff that Ms. Geller speaks about runs contrary to the values of York Regional Police and the work we do in engaging our communities.” Veerappan said a member of York’s Muslim community, whom he wouldn’t identify, brought Geller’s scheduled talk to the attention of police. York police enlist eight chaplains of different faiths to counsel police officers and their families. Among them is a Muslim chaplain, Imam Abdul Hai Patel.   URL: http://wp.me/pbU4v-ex6 Comment    See all comments   Trouble clicking?
