Saying ‘God Bless You’ When Someone Sneezes is Islamophobic ...

In the latest absurd news to come from liberal college campuses, a group of librarians at Simmons College in Boston have declared that saying “God bless you” when someone sneezes is Islamophobic.

The group has created the Anti-Oppression Library Guide, which also dictates that saying “Merry Christmas” or “Happy Easter” is an act of “Islamomisic microaggression.”

“Islamomisic Microaggressions are commonplace verbal or behavioral indignities, whether intentional or unintentional, which communicates hostile, derogatory, or negative slights in relation to the beliefs and religious practices of Muslims,” the librarians argue. “They are structurally based and invoke oppressive systems of religious/Christian hierarchy.”

The group claims that “Christian fragility” is to blame for these “microaggressions.”

“They also argue that Christians suffer from ‘Christian fragility’ and may become angry, hostile, or defensive during conversations about religion, speculating that this happens because Christians lack ‘skills for constructive engagement with [religious] difference’ due to the fact they are the dominant religious group,” Campus Reform reports.

Perhaps someone should ask the librarians about the last time that a Christian shot someone for drawing their prophet or drove a truck into a non-Christian holiday market — since they want to talk about religious-based anger and hostility.

The “guide” also contains a TED Talk in which Melissa Boigon argues that there is nothing “violent or anti-American” about Sharia law.

No, it’s not Islamophobic. It is part of wonderful and polite American culture. Don’t like it? You are free to leave and impose your incompatible and backward culture on someone else.

So I’m guessing that the southern insult “God bless your little heart” is probably out too. Or do we have to wait for the librarians to rule on that?

I say just flat out ignore them on everything. I know grown-up Muslims who are not going to offended by “God bless you.” But Muslim snowflakes and fanatics? Sure, they’ll be offended, but what do I care?

OK, I have a new thing to say when someone sneezes, "F___K Allah! We seem to be hearing a lot of this "It's I-slam-ophobic BS from librarians lately, who made someone with a liberal farts degree in library science(if that) the arbitrator of what is or isn't islamophopic?

And who gives a rats A$$? When was the last time you heard about a librarian weighing in on the actual Christophobic acts that are and have been occurring for decades?

I thought it would be “Germophobic” to say “God Bless You” to protest you from them, but NOOOO!

Some librarians are hardcore Marxists and cause a lot of trouble like Anne Sparanese (Venceremos Brigade, Communist Party USA supporter and July 4th Coalition 1976 - Castroite/Communist/Puerto Rican Marxists). Other are just dumbasses who follow the latest causes.

No wonder kids don’t read the right books.

>I said “Allahu akbar” once when a person sneezed, and everyone ducked for cover.

Me too. Though I was clearing brush with a machete at the time.

” a group of librarians at Simmons College in Boston “


A college nobody knows employs enough librarians to form a ... “group”? How many in the group, two?
More like a groupuscule.

These people are edging towards the notion that any public expression of Christian belief - no matter how trivial or secularized - is a crime.

Correct . . and pedophilia is celebrated as inclusive and loving - even worthy of an Academy Award or two. To express an opinion of pedophilia contrary in the age of #MeToo is to out yourself as a BIGOT

Then just saying “gesundheit” would be Eurocentric, or Teutonic-supremacist.

Nothing we say or do will ever satisfy fanatics.

From now on, when someone sneezes, I’m going to scream, Mohamad was a pedophile!

So, what’s the p[roper response to an Islamic sneezing - “Allah farts through your nose”?
