Tells Muslims to Leave Country...
Michigan State University!
Well, what do we have here? Looks like a small case of
some people being able to dish it out, but not take it.
Let's start at the top.
The story begins at Michigan State University with a
mechanical engineering professor named Indrek Wichman. Wichman sent an
e-mail to the Muslim Student's Association. The e-mail was in response
to the students' protest of the Danish cartoons that portrayed the
Prophet Muhammad as a terrorist. The group had complained the cartoons
were "hate speech."
Enter Professor Wichman. In his e-mail, he said the
following:
Dear Moslem Association:As a professor of Mechanical Engineering here at MSU I
intend to
protest your protest. I am offended not by cartoons, but
by more
mundane things like beheadings of civilians, cowardly
attacks on
public buildings, suicide murders, murders of Catholic
priests (the
latest in Turkey), burnings of Christian churches, the
continued
persecution of Coptic Christians in Egypt, the
imposition of Sharia
law on non-Muslims, the rapes of Scandinavian girls and
women (called by other less flattering names in your culture), the murder of film directors
in
Holland, and the rioting and looting in Paris France. This is what
offends me, a soft-spoken person and academic, and many, many of my
colleagues. I counsel your dissatisfied, aggressive, brutal, and
uncivilized slave-trading Moslems to be very aware of this as you
proceed with your infantile "protests."If you do not like the values of the West - see the 1st
Amendment -
you are free to leave. I hope for God's sake that most
of you choose
that option. Please return to your ancestral homelands
and build them
up yourselves instead of troubling Americans.
Cordially,I. S. Wichman
Professor of Mechanical Engineering
As you can imagine, the Muslim group at the university
didn't like this too well. They're demanding that Wichman be
reprimanded
and mandatory diversity training for faculty and a seminar on hate and
discrimination for freshman. Now the chapter of CAIR has jumped into
the
fray. CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, apparently
doesn't believe that the good professor had the right to express his
opinion.
For its part, the university is standing its ground,
saying the e-mail was private, and they don't intend to publicly
condemn
his remarks. That will probably change. Wichman says he never intended
for his e-mail to be made public, and wouldn't have used the same
strong
lang uage if he'd known it was going to get out.
How's the left going to handle this one? If you're in
favor of the freedom of speech, as in the case of Ward Churchill, will
the same protections be demanded for Indrek Wichman? I doubt it.
We
are in a war. This political correctness crap is getting old and
killing
us.

How very sad, and how very true, it is sad that the muslims cannot accept another's view of what is going on and very sad that what the professor can be proved. and its true that he will probably be cencured for his opinion, whicn apparently he isn't allowed to hold, since he is not Muslim in America. I think its time people started responding in kind to muslim actions. Not murder, of course, because that is barbaric and civilized countries just don'tallow that

I say bravo to the professor! Too bad it was made public, but hopefully the university will continue to stand behind him. Not allowed under freedom of speech? Man oh man! We continute to bend over backwards for the minority religious rights...what about the rest of us? Everything he stated was the absolute truth.
