Rabbi: “There was a very clear choice laid out to me. The police said, ‘we don’t believe this agrees with [our] values, so either you have to give up your chaplaincy or you can have this speech.’”

The Rabbi admits everything in his quote. The police threatened him. And why? Enforcing the blasphemy laws under the sharia at the behest of Islamic supremacists in Canada.

Here’s the video of my speech in Canada that jihadists feared people would here.

Fighting back in Canada.

“Blogger Geller testifying before Toronto police board over nixed shul talk”
JTA, August 5, 2013

TORONTO (JTA) — Blogger Pamela Geller said she will
testify over a complaint she filed against a Toronto-area police force
in the cancellation of a synagogue appearance.

Geller told JTA via email on Monday that she was scheduled to testify
Wednesday via Skype before a hearing of the Office of the Independent
Police Review Director in Toronto, which oversees grievances against
area police.

She alleges that the York Regional Police, north of Toronto,
threatened and bullied Rabbi Mendel Kaplan into canceling her appearance
last May at his Chabad synagogue because of her strident anti-Islamist
views.

Kaplan is a volunteer chaplain with the force, and Geller accused the
police of threatening to remove him from the post if he did not comply.

Geller’s complaint claims “breach of police policy and conduct
pursuant to the police Code of Conduct and the York Regional Police’s
Code of Professional Ethics.”

York Regional Police said the complaint was lodged with the OIPRD.

Complaints can take 120 days to resolve, an OIPRD official said,
though the official did not confirm or deny a complaint was brought by
Geller.

In a statement last May, York Regional Police said reports that
Kaplan had been threatened were “a flagrant misrepresentation of the
facts.”

According to police, the rabbi canceled Geller’s talk because “it
would place him in conflict with the values of our organization, which
support a safe, welcoming and inclusive community for all.”

Kaplan told JTA that he has already given evidence to the complaint’s investigators.

Asked whether he ever felt intimidated or threatened, he said, “There
was a very clear choice laid out to me. The police said, ‘we don’t
believe this agrees with [our] values, so either you have to give up
your chaplaincy or you can have this speech.’

“I did something that I didn’t necessarily want to do because I had
to do it.” He added, “It was a wise decision not to host her because it
was not something worth losing my chaplaincy over.”

Geller’s talk, sponsored by the Jewish Defense League, was moved to
another venue, where she lashed out at the police. She  later wrote that
“jackbooted thugs” had used “intimidation” on Kaplan to persuade him to
cancel the synagogue talk.

This is somewhat related, the Anti-Semitic and Holocaust denying laws enable other PC laws which NOW are used against us to protect an entity that wishes to destroy our Constitution and replace it with Sharia. All it ever was a 1984 method to control speech and in the end control thought!
Free Speech for a Free People!
Those that wish to shut up Atlas and hide because of their safety or JOBS must be exposed and we must ALL support these people to speak the Truth, or what they believe it to be or none of us will be able to speak our Truth.
You GO Atlas!

What did “my chaplaincy” mean? Money? Power? Position? All the things a man of religion should put behind him. He has lost a more important thing… credibility.

Why does a Chasidic Rabbi care about holding on to a volunteer Chaplain position with the police? And while I think that Veeropan’s behavior was inexcusable I hardly think that Rabbi Kaplan was under any kind of physical threat that would justify him caving in to that lowlife.
His credibility is now gone. Was it worth it?

Pamela… good luck with your complaint.
These thought police need to be knocked down a peg or two. It will look good on them.
