Muslim Group Wants New York Jail Chaplain Fired
2007-04-22
Muslims have called for the dismissal of a New York jail chaplain who distributed anti-Islam booklets with derogatory depictions of the Prophet Muhammad. Azra Fasihuddin, a member of the Islamic Center of Rockland County, said the congregation was infuriated to learn that Teresa Darden Clapp, an ordained Christian minister, was put on paid suspension last week for distributing the booklets.

"We are very upset about these false allegations against our religion," Fasihuddin told the Journal News in Tuesday's editions. She said Clapp should be fired.
Legal terrorism with the typical Oh We Got Caught with Our Allen Lies Crap
"She should be let go. And why is she being paid while she is suspended?"

The religious booklets characterize Muslims as worshipping an "idol" and devil called Allah, and the Prophet Muhammad as a criminal and a "religious dictator."

Rockland County Sheriff James Kralik said Clapp was placed on paid suspension last Thursday, and that the incident remained under investigation. He said questions remained as to Clapp's intent in distributing the materials. "As we learn more about it and gain a better understanding of it, we will change as necessary," he told the Journal News.
Grow some balls boy. Remember 9-11?
Mohammed Ziaullah, an official at the Islamic Center, also criticized the paid suspension. "That's not a type of punishment," he said. "That's a vacation."
It's also called freedom of speach you fuktard
Public officials on official duty don't have freedom of speech. They're supposed to do their jobs and they can be regulated as such.
Kralik said he would meet with officials of the Islamic Center of Rockland on Tuesday.

Clapp's phone number was not in service Monday, the Journal News said. She was not at home and did not respond to messages left there.
Can anyone blame her?
Yes. I do.
It was not clear how many booklets were distributed. Jail officials said they learned about them after an inmate complained about two weeks ago.

In the cartoon panel stories, a tract titled "Men of Peace?" says Islamic fundamentalists who commit terrorist acts are not "bad Muslims" but "very good Muslims" who act in accordance with their religion.
I thought I recognized the hallmarks of a Jack Chick publication. Yep, that's what it was.
Another tract, titled "Allah Has No Son," says Allah is not God, Muhammad was no prophet and the Quran, the Muslim holy book, is not the word of God.
Another award-winning title in the Jack Chick library
The only time Islam was peaceful was during the Muslims minority in Mecca and then Medina. Once their numbers had increased Muhammad went on killing spree. That's simple history folks.
Both stories end with people being convinced that Islam is false. In one ending, a Muslim is contrite on learning he is worshipping a false idol and converts to Christianity.
What no requirements of beheadings to convert?
The Journal News said the booklets were from Chick Publications, a company that produces gospel tracts and other media to advocate Christianity and condemn religions it deems false, including Islam and Roman Catholicism.
Jack Chick is an equal opportunity proseletizer, see also: Love the Jewish People, The Only Hope, etc etc. For further enlightenment, visit the Jack Chick Museum of Fine Art (and Salvation).
Don't know what happened to my comments on this earlier today, but I'll try to say it again: I find the Jack Chick pamphlets nasty, vulgar and unacceptable. The people behind them are virulently anti-Catholic as well as anti-virtually everything else, and as a Catholic I won't put up with them. If this 'pastor' was passing out anti-Catholic literature I'd definitely want her fired.

Her job was to tend to the flock in prison that needed her services. This nonsense is wrong, and she should be fired.
