Long IslandMuslim leaders condemn CW Post video BY OLIVIA WINSLOW, HERBERT LOWE AND JENNIFER KELLEHER Newsday Staff Writers

A video by five students at the C.W. Post Campus of Long Island University depicting ski-masked "hostage-takers" speaking in cartoonish Middle Eastern accents has drawn condemnations from local Muslim leaders.

The university dismissed the students from their jobs as residence hall assistants in Brookville Hall, saying they had engaged in activity that violated their employment contract and that reflected "insensitivity."

Guess the Islamics don't like seeing the truth about their fanatics made public....kind of silly. Everyone already knows what they are all about.

QUIT MOCKING TERRORISTS. It is insensitive. However there is no such outrage over actual decaptitation and torture videos.

“I think the tape was an insult to the victims and families involved in hostage situations,” he added.
Wow! And for a minute, I was thinking he was upset because somebody made fun of terrorists! How stupid of me!

EARTH. 2007. Mocking evil people is now "insensetive".

So, I suppose doing something REALLY primal to them is just out of the flippin' question, then, eh?

More's the pity.

Exactly. Man, am I fed up with this don't-offend-me crap and PC-ness in general. These a#$holes sit back and say absolutely nothing when their cohorts behead innocent people, but come out of the wood work when someone has the balls to poke fun at them. How can you be outraged at a cartoon and be totally submissive when your people people behead a nun? They are inhuman.

re: "While friends of those who created the film emphasized it was made in jest, Muslim leaders did not see the humor."

Do they ever?

BTW, does anyone know if the video is available for viewing? I would love to see it!

I guess they only see humor in the real thing.

Pretty funny stuff?

They'd better be careful which direction they fart in, too. If it's in the direction of Mecca the muzzies will probably demand they be expelled.

How do the complaning Muslims know the mocking was aimed at Muslims? Is there a "Muslim accent"?
