I have found an English subtitled and English language version of Geert Wilders’ Movie Short Fitna at the Exposing Islam blog. Whatever you think about Wilders’ politics as to place on the political pole – Rightwing or fringe Rightwing – Fitna utilizes the words, pictures, sound bytes and film excerpts of what Islamic people holy men following the Quran.
Global Islam (radical and so-called moderate) has worked hard to squelch this Movie Short to be broadcast on television. Islamic pressure even pressured Wilders’ webhost to not allow Fitna to be shown under its ISP. It will be interesting how long LiveLeak will allow having Fitna shown since the West seems to be dhimmified into petrification at the complaint of Islamic organizations in the West and in the Middle East.
Fitna was put together under the sponsorship of a Dutch citizen however it is a Wake-up America, nay a Wake-up World moment. Wake-up for Islam is using victimization as an excuse to curb Freedom of Speech. Republican Representative Peter Hoekstra has made this clear in his opinion about how Islam threatens the Constitutional Right of Freedom of Speech in America. Insults and critical speech has been allowed against questionable faiths that are more like cults and political ideologies from the Left and the Right in America for quite some time. It has only at the cry of Islamophobia (i.e. the accusation of hate speech) by Islamic organizations as well as domestic and foreign mullahs and imams has Freedom of Speech has been criticized.
What is the worry of the West and Freedom of Speech critical of Islam? It is the dhimmified fear of global rioting and violence by the so-called religion of peace when offense is taken. Our modern sense of political correctness has allowed the criticism of Christianity, Judaism, Capitalism, Communism, Nazism, Democracy and other faiths. Yet when the potential of malicious violence looms at criticism of Islam the West slinks under a rock rather than stand for hard fought principles of Democracy and Liberty.
AGAIN I SAY, “WAKE-UP!’
LIVELEAK VERSION. (I had to hit refresh to get the page to come up on my browser.)
I am attacked frequently by Mohammedans on various blogs in which I post as being racist and an Islamophobe. I am not the former but I consider myself a proud member of the latter.
The Greek root of the “phobe” part of Islamophobe literally implies the fear of Islam. Mohammedans interpret it as the hatred of practicing Mohammedans. I think in neither fear nor hatred of Mohammedanism.
I relate Mohammedanism as an ideology like Communism is an ideology (though the Mohammedan ideology is theocratic and the Communist ideology is atheistic).
Both ideology are repressive and indoctrinate hatred toward their enemies even to the point of lying about their histories and the facts of their enemies’ history.
Concepts of individualism; Freedom of thought, choice and speech as well as Liberty are anathema in both Mohammedan and Communist ideologies. In a society or nation dominated by one or the other of these ideologies one can count on persecution, arrest or even death depending on how Freedom and Liberty was practiced by an individual and perceived by the State. Yes, even in Mohammedanism it is the State.
Anyway I say all that to lead into an essay by Azam Kamguian. If Mohammedans and Leftists think I am harsh in exposing the nature of Mohammedanism, this gal has me beat by a mile. One point of interest: I speak from the study of reading books of anti-Jihadist and anti-Islamists; Kamguian speaks from experience.

The Silent Holocaust: Why Westerners must react to ban Islam before it causes more bloodshed and misery

What you're going to read or watch here is not the entire truth. In no way can the atrocities of Islam be fully described with the words of any known language. It even goes beyond the description in the koran itself, which is the original blueprint of these atrocities. Reading this, or watching the videos of persecuted and terrorized Copts in their own countries, is like watching Muslims perform beheadings for the sake of their bloodthirsty allah in the comfort of your living room, while the reality is indescribable torture for the victims going through it. We have enough words to describe the animals world, but we're short on words for the followers of the biggest mass murderer in the history of mankind.
Like every satanic cult, Islam needs human sacrifices. If Western populations don't react to stop it and crush it, the map of the Western countries will be flooded by the color red, not of roses, but of the bloodshed of the thirsty demon of Islam.

Anyone who wants to understand Islam must change his way of thinking. Islam is not a religion for the mind, soul and heart of a man, but it presents an all-encompassing set of orders, theocentric society where all facets of life - child rearing, family life, economics, and politics - are focused on Allah. There is no separation between throne and altar, between politics and religion. In fact, mosques are the starting point for demonstrations and political upheaval. Friday sermons are not confined to the fostering of faith and spiritual life, but contain strong appeals to stir up the people for political conflicts, cursing Christians and Jews, calling for the death of whole western countries in the name of Allah. The ultimate aim is nothing less than the establishment of Allah's kingdom on our earth.
What I am going to talk about is Islam; contemporary Islam in Iran. I will describe some episodes of Islamic carnage and pass you briefly through what happened and is still happening in Iran. I will talk about those who have nurtured Islamic movements or have tried to justify Islam. I will conclude by emphasizing the urgency of achieving the victory of humanity over Islam and the practical steps that should be taken to achieve this.
The final decades of the 20th century witnessed another Holocaust - an Islamic one, in which millions have been and continue to be shot, decapitated and stoned to death; in which people have been slaughtered and displaced by Islamic states, political Islamic movements and Islamic terrorists in Iran, the Sudan, Afghanistan, Algeria, Egypt, Nigeria, Central Asia, and now in America. The robe, turban and Koran continue to victimize people. Any voice of dissent or freedom has been silenced on the spot. The oppression maintained by Islamic movements primarily takes the form of opposition to the freedom of women, by crushing women's civil liberties, by curtailing freedom of expression in the cultural and personal domains, by enforcing brutal laws and traditions, and by the mass killing of people from young children to the elderly.
Essentially, Islam is a set of beliefs and rules that militates against human prosperity, happiness, welfare, freedom, equality and knowledge. Islam and a full human life are contradictory concepts, opposed to each other. Islam under any kind of interpretation is and always has been a strong force against secularism, modernism, egalitarianism and women's rights. Political Islam, however, is a political movement that has come to the fore front against secular and progressive movements for liberation, and against cultural and intellectual advances. Violence and disregard for human dignity are inherent in the manifestos of political Islamic groups.
The very statement that an Islamic republic exists somewhere means that brutal violence exists within it.
After political Islam took power in Iran, creating an Islamic Republic, this movement came out of the margins in other Middle Eastern countries. It was in Iran that political Islam first organized itself into a government and thus turned into a considerable force in the region. In Iran, under an Islamic state, violence has had another dimension: one that is based on Islam. The very statement that an Islamic Republic exists somewhere means that brutal violence exists in it. The mere fact that people are forced to abide by laws based on something some god is believed to have said somewhere, or that some prophet said, itself represents a form of violence. If anyone protests against such laws, they are subject to punishment and suppression. Islam means the worst and the most ferocious kind of violence. Iran is the most transparent picture of what Islam is capable of. I will try to pass you briefly through this period of violence, atrocities, and misogyny - a bloodbath committed by Islam in power.
In Iran, I lived through thousands of days when Islam shed blood. Since 1979, a hundred thousand men, women and children have been executed in the name of Allah. I have lived through days when I, along with thousands of men and women throughout the country, looked for the names of our lovers, husbands, wives, friends, daughters, sons, colleagues and students in newspapers which daily announced the names of the executed. Days when the soldiers of Allah attacked bookstores and publishing houses and burned books. Days of armed attacks on universities, killing students all over the country. Weeks and months of bloody attacks on workers' strikes and demonstrations. Years of assassination of opponents inside and outside Iran. Years of suppression and brutal murder of atheists, freethinkers, socialists, trade union leaders and activists, Marxists, Bahais, women who resisted the misery of the hijab and the rule of sexual apartheid, and many others who were none of these, who were arrested in the streets and then executed simply because of their innocent non-Islamic appearance. And to the hundred thousand murdered in Iran must be added the millions who have died in Algeria, the Sudan, Egypt, Afghanistan, Pakistan and elsewhere. A silent holocaust about which the civilized world does nothing.
I, along with thousands of political prisoners, was tortured by order of the representative of Allah and Sharia; tortured, while the verses of the Koran about nonbelievers were played in the torture chambers. The voice reading the Koran was mixed with our cries of pain from lashes and other brutal forms of torture. They raped women political prisoners for the sake of Allah and in expectation of his reward. They prayed before raping them. Thousands were shot to death by execution squads while Koranic verses were recited. Prisoners were awakened every day at dawn to the sound of gunshots aimed at their friends and cell mates. From the numbers of shots you could work out how many had been murdered that day. The killing machine did not stop for a minute. The fathers and mothers, husbands and wives who received the bloody clothes of their loved ones had to pay for the bullets. They created an Islamic Auschwitz. Many of the best, the most passionate and progressive people were massacred. The dimensions of the horror are beyond imagining.
From that time, love, happiness, smiling, any free human interaction was forbidden. Islam took over completely. This is what happened to my generation. But it was not limited only to my generation, It had bloody consequences for our parents generation and for the next generation. During those years, millions of children were brainwashed and manipulated. The crimes committed by the Islamic Republic of Iran and political Islam in the region are comparable to the crimes committed by Fascism in the 1930s and early 1940s, and to the genocide in Rwanda and Indonesia.
Yet these are events that humanity around the world has been largely unaware of. A Holocaust which, if humanity knows of its dimensions and intensity, would certainly cause it to weep. With the downfall of such regimes, the world will be given an opportunity to know the truth - victims will speak out, prisons and torture chambers will be exposed, torturers will make heart-wrenching confessions, Islamic prosecutors and judges will reveal what they did to their victims behind prison walls. Then people all over the world will see what a despicable, and horribly unimaginable (for whoever not knowing Islam) phenomenon Islam is. They will finally find out the truth about those governments that backed the Islamic movements and the Western mainstream (accomplice) media that deliberately blocked people's access to the truth.
The aftermath of September 11 exposed a fraction of the reality of what is happening to people living under the constant terror of Islam. It exposed something of the tragedy that befell women under the Taliban. It revealed, to some extent, the true substance of Islam. But it became plain to see that this carnage is Islamic. It became evident that it is all about Islam.
When I came to the West in the beginning of the 1990s, I was faced by the fact that the majority of intellectuals, the mainstream media, the academic world, and many feminists, in the name of respecting other cultures and religions, were trying to justify Islam by dividing it into fundamentalist and moderate, progressive and reactionary, Medina's and Mecca's, folksy and non-folksy, poisonous and edible. For people like me, first-hand victims of the Islamic Holocaust, it was suffocating to listen to and to have to refute endless tales to justify this terror, atrocity and misogyny. Parallel to this Islamic carnage, western apologists for Islam try to divert people's righteous loathing for Islam and for the political Islamic movement, to limit it to a hatred of fundamentalism. They attempt to reduce the anti-Islamic struggle to anti-fundamentalism. They keep telling us that what we loathe is fundamentalism, not the 'true', the 'real' Islam. They pledge "reform in Islam" and the application of a "positive interpretation of the Koran" to women's rights by linguistic twisting. They raise the idea of Islamic feminism and try to attach a human face to the monstrous face of Islam against women.
The rights of freedom of expression, equality of men and women, and a secular state apply to people in the 'Third World' too. Isn't it shameful that we have to argue about it?
The truth should be spoken. We shouldn't let western apologists for Islam play with people's lives, and mislead their own populations any more. We should say clearly and loudly that it is all about Islam. What we have seen is the reality of Islam in power. The fact is that Western liberal and left-wing intellectuals feel guilty about past colonial history and are apologetic to the Third World. They consider the "Third World" a given entity, where people are keen to suffer under the rotten rules of Islam, where people are happy to be deprived of the achievements of human civilization in the 21st century. According to them, women desire sexual apartheid, girls love to be segregated from boys, and people hate civil rights and individual freedom. In their view, people are the allies of Islamic movements and Islamic governments. This is indeed a distorted image of the realities. This is an inverted colonialism. In this picture, people who are fighting for civil rights, secularism and against political Islam do not exist. This self-centered mentality in which everything should revolve around the guilt of Western pseudo-intellectuals is appalling. The rights of freedom of expression, equality of men and women, and a secular state apply to people in the "Third World" too. Isn't it shameful that we have to argue about it?
Contrary to this view, there is a fight going on - and it has been going on for over 28 years - between progressive movements in the Middle East and in the West on the one side, and political Islam on the other. The records of the daily struggle of people and the non-Islamic opposition in Islam-ridden countries, and the news of the daily resistance of the youth and women in Iran, demonstrate the reality of peoples' demands in the "Third World". Since 1979, Iranian society has changed dramatically and deeply. The movement for secularism and atheism, for modern ideas and culture, for individual freedom, for women's liberation and civil liberties has been widespread and deep. Disgust for Islam and the backward culture of those in power is immense.
Secularism must be defended actively and resolutely in Islam - ridden countries. Universal human and civil rights must be the standard. Secularism is not only realizable, but also, after the experiences of Iran, Afghanistan, the Sudan, Egypt and Algeria, is an urgent and pressing need and demand of the people of the region. The demand for secularism must push for absolute and complete separation of religion from the State; complete separation of religion from education; freedom of religion and atheism; laws free of religious content; and for religion to be declared the private affair of individuals. A conscious struggle must be conducted against the power of organised religion. Islam should be officially registered as a private enterprise, subject to regulations and laws.
To realize these ideals and demands, we need a massive joint force. Despite the struggles of the non-Islamic opposition in the Middle East and in the West in the past decades, all that has been visible has been occasional reports of the barbarity of Islam and the reactions of Western governments, media and "intellectual" apologists deceiver for Islam. But, there is a third force, a sleeping giant who can turn the situation around. If this giant awakes, this era could see the beginning of positive changes and the realization of ideals that were almost abandoned during the final decades of the 20th century. Humanity must rise up and defend itself against the barbarity of Islam.
The ranks of civilised humanity form a massive force that has, so far, sadly been silenced. It can come to the fore. For the future of humanity, it must come to the fore. If there is to be a future, it is in the formation of an active, progressive and freedom-loving policy at the forefront of the ranks of the people. Otherwise, the stage is left open to Islam terrorism and barbarism. I finish this with the hope that in the coming years of the 21st century, we will witness the victory of humanity, of humanism, over Islam. All freedom-lovers and secularist forces around the world should come together in a joint effort to combat Islam; to promote secularism, egalitarianism and freedom, in the societies that Islam oppresses.
If a picture is worth a thousand words, these videos are worth more than a PhD. in Islamic studies.
The world is holding its breath for Geert Wilders' koran movie, but these videos are no less effective in showing the applications, and the live realities resulting from the koran.
These are videos that the Egyptian government don't want the world to see. It shows the organized and official systematic persecution, terrorizing, and economic strangulation of the Copts in Egypt, and how government security officers even threaten to rape the young daughters of mothers that converted to Christianity.
It is also worth mentioning that most of these Copts, reduced to being garbage collectors, were forced to flee their lands and businesses in upper Egypt under the threat of being killed by radical Muslims acting with the complicity of the security apparatus, to steal Christians' properties as lawful booty, same as their prophet did with the Christians and the Jews of Arabia.
It is also important to remind the world that Copts were the people that had to pay the jeziah in order to stay as Christians. Which means that all Copts, including the ones you'll see in the videos were by definition, financially well off to be able to pay, until they reached the life you will now be witness of. Now you can see what it means in the koran 33:27, "And He made you heirs of their lands, their houses, and their goods, and of a land which ye had not frequented (before). And Allah has power over all things." This is one verse you won't need anyone to explain to you once you see the videos.
In Egypt Copts are being robbed point blank, their tax money is used to finance Al Azhar university, where no Christian is admitted but Muslims from all over the world are admitted for free, to build and finance hundreds of thousands of mosques (while Christians are not free to build one church with their own money, and in many places they have to conduct the mass on the street), to finance a dozen or more Islamic TV channels, payroll for hundreds of thousands of sheiks so they can insult and curse through mosque loudspeakers and on the air, at every prayer, those same Christians paying their salaries. These are just four items out of a list that is too long to mention here.
As for Western countries, the first thing a Muslim is briefed about by his co-religionists as soon he arrives (I know this first hand from every ex-Muslim), is how to plunder the social benefits. Just compare the percentage of Muslims in your Western country with their share of the social benefits, and you'll understand that you're being robbed too of your tax dollar. Or, as Muslims call it, they're making you pay the jeziah.

About Azam Kamguian
Bin Laden has accused the Pope of stirring up the Crusades of history’s past against Mohammedanism AND threatened reprisals in Europe for doing so.
Ah if it were only true.
A Vatican spokesman denies the accusation for the Pope. The Vatican to my dismay claims to be leading efforts for dialogue with Mohammedans. If only Pope Benedict XVI would realize that showing up in Mecca for dialogue would result in loosing his head.
It is amazing the effort of Christian leaders from both Protestants and Catholics are willing to live in dhimmitude in the false hope dhimmi oppression will end the violence against the West.
Look at the history of dhimmitude of the past. It is not a pleasant scenario.

It is beginning to boggle my mind how the Western World is being dictated to on the rule of law by a foreign culture that is a proven in violence among themselves and toward those who do not believe in that foreign culture. What am I talking about? It is the Theo-political cult known as Islam to the politically correct and as Mohammedanism to me after its blood thirsty founder Mohammed.
The Archbishop of Canterbury Dr. Rowan Williams is the symbolic head of Anglicans world wide, which includes the American version known as Episcopalians. Dr. Williams is publicly saying that Britain should adopt or incorporate Mohammedan Sharia Law into the legal system of Britain to accommodate the vast numbers of Mohammedans living in Britain.
I have some observations about this suggestion from the Archbishop of Canterbury. Let me start with my initial reaction when I first read this: Is the moron abandoning the Christian faith to a Theo-political cult whose aim is to convert people first by persuasion and second by the threat of violence up to and including execution? I mean Europe is all about Capital Punishment being the practice of a barbaric past. Yet the essence of Sharia Law is physically harsh up to including the death penalty for some of the most ludicrous of acts of law breaking. We are talking about honor killings for offending the Mohammedanism within the Mohammedan family, death for leaving Mohammedanism for another faith or atheism, death for insulting Mohammed and his Allah and probably more that I am unaware of.
Sharia Law allows polygamy and a means to divorce by simply pronouncing verbally I divorce you three times. Thieves punished under Sharia Law can loose hands in amputation. And what if a Mohammedan breaks a British law that is not illegal in Sharia Law - does the Mohammedan escape justice?
God help us if this becomes an issue in America.
If Mohammedans cannot live under the Rule of Law in the West the answer is simple: move to nations that practices Sharia Law or amend the Mohammedan faith to be compatible to Western Laws.
In America where religious issues and the Rule of Law is a big deal there is a precedent to follow. America is a secular nation that guarantees the free practice of religion of conscience as long as it conforms to the Rule of Law. The Precedent: Before Utah could be admitted into the Union of the United States of America the Mormons had to have a prophetic revelation; i.e. the official ending of the practice of polygamy. Once the revelation became official, Utah became a State.
My God America needs to stick to our foundational values to enforce one Rule of Law justly to all people regardless of Faith or Conscience and Britain should as well.
If the West does not stand up for its culture the permeation of the Muslim Brotherhood agenda for the West will become a reality before anyone can do anything to peacefully reverse it. Friends this will mean dhimmitude for non-Mohammedans.
I have never agreed with the term or the liberal church vision of a “Progressive Church.” The Archbishop of Canterbury is progressing Anglicans into a position of inferiority to the supremacist minded Mohammedans of the world.
See also Dhimmi Watch.
Okay I realize this post might be a little dated, however readers need to be made aware that Mohammedans in America are attempting to set apart the Law of the Land.
The Politically Correct are so concerned about Islamophobic Americans that they are willing to allow Mohammedans to enjoy their intolerant beliefs at the expense of non-Mohammedans. This issue has arisen in the Twin Cities (Minnesota) in which Mohammedan cab drivers refuse service to airport patrons that might violate their beliefs. Apparently a significant amount of cab drivers in the area are Mohammedan.
To uphold the ability of Mohammedans to discriminate against patrons that carry items that are legal is to allow a precedent of Mohammedan Sharia Law to be Superior to American Constitutional Law. This cannot happen!

Help Prevent Shari'a at Twin Cities Airport
Little Green Footballs
Date: 2/22/2007 at 6:42:07 pm
We’ve had several posts about the Muslim cab drivers at Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport, and their refusal to accept passengers carrying alcohol and blind people with guide dogs, at the urging of the Muslim Brotherhood front group calling itself the Muslim American Society. Daniel Pipes sent out an email to his list on this subject, because the Metropolitan Airports Commission is inviting the public’s input on the matter. The public hearing notice for the Airports Commission is here: Taxicab Ordinance #102: Public Hearing Notice.
And here’s Daniel Pipes’ email on the subject: More on Those Alcohol-shy Minnesota Taxi Drivers.
Dear Reader:
A further decision is due in the controversy over taxi drivers at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport who refuse to transport passengers visibly carrying alcohol. The Metropolitan Airports Commission, which has jurisdiction over the drivers, invites the public’s opinion; and I urge your involvement.
MAC has sent a notice (which I have posted in full on my website) that recounts developments since its decision in October 2006 to deny requests by drivers to distinguish between Shar’i-compliant and –noncompliant taxis. MAC writes:
For the past several months, the Metropolitan Airports Commission has worked with airport taxi industry representatives and with leaders from the Muslim American Society and the Somali Justice Advocacy League. The goal was to find a solution acceptable to everyone and transparent to the customer seeking airport taxi service. Unfortunately, those discussions have not resulted in a workable, voluntary, consensus-based solution. As a result, the Airports Commission is proposing stricter penalties for refusal of service: a 30-day suspension of a driver’s airport taxi license for the first instance, and license revocation for a second instance.
Bravo to MAC. It is important that the drivers be sent a strong signal that they must obey the regulations. Were they allowed to boycott travelers with alcohol, I pointed out in “Don’t Bring That Booze into My Taxi,” that would intrude Islamic law “into a mundane commercial transaction in Minnesota” and could lead to the transport system as a whole being divided “between those Islamically observant and those not so.”
I appealed to readers in October to urge MAC to impose penalties on those who insist on imposing Shar’i norms in Minnesota and to send a message that this practice is unacceptable. The barrage of e-mails and phone calls had the hoped-for effect. According to airport spokesman Patrick Hogan back then, “we’ve heard from Australia and England. It’s really touched a nerve among a lot of people. The backlash, frankly, has been overwhelming. People are overwhelmingly against any kind of cultural accommodation.”
Again now, I appeal to all those opposed to application of the Shari’a in the United States to make their views heard in Minnesota. You can do this in either of two ways.
In writing: MAC is asking for “input from the public” through Friday, March 2, 2007, before it makes a decision on the proposed increase in penalties. Written comments should be addressed to:
Landside Operations Department
Metropolitan Airports Commission
MSP International Airport/Lindbergh Terminal
4300 Glumack Drive
Suite LT-3129B
Saint Paul, MN 55111-3010.In person: For those living in the Twin Cities area, MAC will hold a public hearing on Tuesday, February 27, 2007, at 2 p.m., to solicit testimony from the public via verbal or written testimony. The location will be at:
Ramada Mall of America (formerly, the Thunderbird Hotel)
2300 East American Boulevard
Bloomington, MinnesotaI thank you in advance.

There is an incredible intrusion on Freedom of Speech being perpetrated on college campuses. A group of Resident Assistants (RA) made a video parody of Mohammedan hostage takers speaking in cartoonish voices. The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) contacted Long Island University to inform this insensitivity needs to be addressed.
The University bowed to the dhimmitude of CAIR and promptly fired the RA’s for failing to be sensitive roll models for students in the Dorm.
Imagine that! CAIR demands sensitivity to Mohammedan terrorists who torture and behead American and Jews. Long Island University agrees with CAIR. Long Island University should be caring more about the sensitivity of Americans to the terrorists that CAIR supports and simultaneously claims to represent the peaceful Mohammedans living in America. CAIR is an oxymoron: it supports terrorism privately and claims to be a moderate Islamic (I prefer Mohammedanism – I am a Christian) to the American government and media in public.
I was alerted to this hypocritical travesty by Anti-CAIR via an e-newsletter:
News & Analysis
004/07 February 8, 2007CAIR: Offended by Rubber Duck
On February 7, the “Newsday.com” web site carried a story about college employee’s being fired over a video they posted that insults Islam.
The video, by five student resident hall assistants (RA’s), mocked real-life terrorists by holding a rubber duck, “Pete”, as hostage. The five spoke in exaggerated accents, wore terrorist garb, and were generally insensitive to Muslim terrorists.
How do we know that they were insensitive to Muslim terrorists?
Simple: The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) got involved.
In the words of CAIR’s spokesman, Ibrahim Hooper: “It’s something that needs to be addressed”.
Really? Five students mock Muslim terrorists (We assume they are mocking Muslims, else why would Hooper get involved?), and this is “something that needs to be addressed?”
Parroting CAIR’s attitude, university provost Joseph Shenker said that student RA’s "…function as role models and as teachers for the other students…" We expect them to be instructing our students on being sensitive regarding all groups.”
There we have it. Student RA’s are expected to be sensitive to all groups; including Muslim terrorists.
Shenker continues: “I think the tape was an insult to the victims and families involved in hostage situations.”
If so, why didn’t Newsday.com find a beheading victim to interview?
Would it be because they are all dead at the hands of Muslim terrorists?
As to the families, there were none mentioned in the article. Even so, we find it very hard to believe that anyone would mind mocking Muslim terrorists.
Except CAIR
Imagine that!
Yes, imagine that. Academia is more concerned about Politically Correct Mohammedan sensitivity than the sensitivity of Americans murdered and executed by radical Islamist terrorists. The very organizations approved by CAIR.
