Vanderbilt Professor Accused of “Hate Speech” For Criticizing Islam, “
“You Can’t Say These Types of Things On a Campus That’s Liberal”…

[Image: 1hv2qa.jpg]

The school’s Muslim Students Association also declared black female professor Carol Swain a “bigot.”

Quote: A black Vanderbilt University professor’s op-ed critical of Islamic terrorism has touched off a wave of protest by Muslim students and other critics.

The op-ed author is Carol Swain, a longtime professor of law and political science at Vanderbilt and a self-proclaimed political conservative. Her op-ed, entitled “Charlie Hebdo attacks prove critics were right about Islam,” appeared in The Tennessean (Nashville’s main newspaper) on Jan. 15.

Swain, who opposes burqas and advocates stronger efforts at assimilation for American Muslims, argued that Islam “poses an absolute danger to us and our children unless it is monitored better than it has been under the Obama administration.”

In response, Muslim students, led by Vanderbilt undergraduate Farishtay Yamin, took great offense.

Yamin told The Vanderbilt Hustler, the campus newspaper, that she “could not believe her eyes” when she read Swain’s column. The student also quickly labeled Swain’s opinion as “hate speech.”

She then used Facebook to set up a “Campus-Wide Protest Against Hate Speech Published in the Tennessean” on Saturday afternoon.

Attendance at the fairly brief event was in the low hundreds, The College Fix reports. Students who showed up brought signs emblazoned with slogans such as “Better a brat than a bigot.”

Yamin, who is the publicity chair for Vanderbilt’s Muslim Student Association, told audience in no uncertain terms that a black female professor’s speech must be restricted if she says “these kinds of things” in the future.

“What I’m really trying to show her is that she can’t continue to say these kinds of things on a campus that’s so liberal and diverse and tolerant,” Yamin declared.

Guess she should have said it in a "Free Speech Zone".

The "Muslim Student Association" is an arm of the Muslim Brotherhood. It's a fact. We should disregard anything and everything that comes out of their mouths.

This is an opportunity to examine how the political correctness and academic hate speech campaign has started to eat its own. It does appear that there is now a pantheon of hate speech offenses. At the lower edges, are the traditional feminist and black offendees. Above them sit the gays. Now we have a new top dog, or pig, the Muslims.

At one time, anyone who criticized a black female professor would be labeled a bigot. But we have progressed (maybe that's what progressive is all about) so that now calling a black female a bigot is no longer unthinkable but probably commended.

Another example. Recently on this board, there was a post about ISIS throwing a couple gays off a roof. If you go through the posts, you'll notice that there was not one post from the Gay Brigade, denouncing the Muslims for this action. I'm sure they all felt quite badly about this event but to openly condemn any Muslim would make one subject to being called a bigot, and it is pretty difficult to call someone a homophobe when one is already labeled a bigot.

So how do you like your political correctness now, booby?

Morgan State University Dean: It Should Be Illegal To Mock Islam Because It “Incites Violence”…

[Image: x35t28.jpg]

In other words, Muslims can’t control themselves so your rights must be taken away.

Quote:harlie Hebdo has gone too far.

In its first publication following the Jan. 7 attack on its Paris office, in which two Muslim gunmen massacred 12 people, the once little-known French satirical news weekly crossed the line that separates free speech from toxic talk.

Charlie Hebdo’s latest depiction of the prophet Mohammed — a repeat of the very action that is thought to have sparked the murderous attack on its office — predictably has given rise to widespread violence in nations with large Muslim populations. Its irreverence of Mohammed once moved the French tabloid to portray him naked in a pornographic pose. In another caricature, it showed Mohammed being beheaded by a member of the Islamic State. […]

The most current issue of Charlie Hebdo again has Mohammed on its cover. This time, he appears crying under a headline that reads: “All is forgiven.” Well, apparently not. Ten people have been killed during protests in Niger, a former French colony. Other anti-French riots have erupted from North Africa to Asia. In reaction to all of this, Pope Francis has said of the magazine, “You cannot make fun of the faith of others.”

The French, of course, are no more bound to accept the findings of the bishop of Rome than they are to be guided by the Supreme Court’s rulings on our Constitution’s free speech guarantee. But given the possible ripple effects of Charlie Hebdo’s mistreatment of Islam’s most sacred religious figure, at least people in this country should understand the limits America’s highest court has placed on free speech.

In 1919, the Supreme Court ruled speech that presents a “clear and present danger” is not protected by the First Amendment. Crying “fire” in a quiet, uninhabited place is one thing, the court said. But “the most stringent protection of free speech would not protect a man in falsely shouting fire in a theater and causing a panic.”

Twenty-two years later, the Supreme Court ruled that forms of expression that “inflict injury or tend to incite an immediate breach of the peace” are fighting words that are not protected by the First Amendment.

If Charlie Hebdo’s irreverent portrayal of Mohammed before the Jan. 7 attack wasn’t thought to constitute fighting words, or a clear and present danger, there should be no doubt now that the newspaper’s continued mocking of the Islamic prophet incites violence. And it pushes Charlie Hebdo’s free speech claim beyond the limits of the endurable.

Like libs are ever tolerant of something they disagree with. That's almost as big a lie as Obama saying he wants to compromise.

Someone should draw a politically correct pyramid with Muslims on top and the other groups beneath them, listed in the liberal pecking order ... kind of like the food pyramid we saw as kids in school.

I seem to only remember him saying he wanted cooperation (i.e. capitulation or conformance), not compromise.

Isaiah 43:5-6 foretells the return of Jews to Israel. Ethiopia ("the south") and Russia ("the north") prohibited Jews from moving to Israel, but agreed to allow them to do so at various points in the 20th century.
