Wowwww, Im so scareddddddddddddddd..... |
Because it's quite clear that he knows exactly how 'his people' would act in such a situation and used that threat of violence to kill a protest that would show the Danish cartoons. Not only that, he then let a 'teach in' of sorts to convince the students that they were being racist and provocative. He wrote: (T)he potential of what might happen after they (the cartoons) are shown is something else that should be considered and not taken lightly. (T)he repercussions that would take place outside of the university setting are potentially huge. All over the world Muslims have been coming together over this issue and in New York they would not hesitate in doing the same thing…. NYU has facilities all over the world and Muslims also live all over the world. At that point in time no one will be thinking about the objectivist club that is an OSA organization made up of ten or twenty students. Rather, at that time all people will be thinking about is New York University and the decision it made…" [Emphasis added] The event took place, without the cartoons shown. The Islamic Center held a teach-in which senior NYU officials attended, and the student group caved in and decided not to display the cartoons. In his thank letter to President Sexton, Latif wrote, presumably with a straight face, "You helped to teach them (NYU Muslim student) the importance of being proactive, rather then reactive." This is not the same as expressing a 'public safety concern'. I would expect a member of the NYPD to support the students' rights to free speech REGARDLESS of the repercussions. Not to hold a damn 'teach in'. |
Are you American by birth? Why are you here otherwise? Why did you immigrate her? |
OMG, Why do you care? I am not an Immigrant. |
And they built a mosque on the site of the temple in Jerusalem. Ridiculous, right? |
Yes, I can understand why you and your Islamophobe friends pissed your pants. That letter is terribly threatening. I can see why the recipient of the letter was appalled and immediately fired his staff member -- oh wait, he wasn't appalled, didn't feel threatened, and didn't fire the Imam. |
Hey I just answered the question asked of me. Not sure how it helps defend the people opposing the Mosque in lower Manhattan. |
Pissed my pants? It took one cop with a service revolver to kill two Islamic-sympathizing jihadist. Given plenty of average Americans are armed, I have no real fear. Behind every blade of grass, my friend....there is a reason why it's so easy to conquer and kill those that are disarmed..... Bloomberg? Please! The man thought it was ok to take bagels away from the homeless because he couldn't determine the carb count. Progressives like him are spineless, and given the bagel example, clearly not that bright. |
I am familiar with that side, trust me. But even the Haganah condemned it, and the Jewish Agency apologized on behalf of the movement. So don't try to defend it. |
I care because you see fit to disparage this country and it makes me wonder why you don't move to the country of your ancestors. Wouldn't you be as free there? |
It's clear that there is some propaganda involved. And that needs to be acknowledged. |
So you either do not live here in America, or you were born here. But if you were born here, then you would have said so outright. |
So can anyone tell me how a First Amendment proponent can try to block a house of worship, of any religion, on private property? Even if you really, really, don't like the idea? Is there an exception to the First Amendment that I haven't heard of, one which makes Pam Geller something other than a hypocrite?
I'm all ears. |
Because being patriotic means to agree with what every other American is doing ![]() |
