Massachusetts college librarians state that wishing someone a Merry Christmas or saying God bless you if they sneeze is an act of Islamomisic microaggression.
Librarians at Simmons College in Boston have banded together to write what they have titled The Anti-Oppression Library Guide. While controversial, the guide is intended as a resource to promote equality and limit religious oppression.
While the guide is not an official policy of Simmons College, some of its beliefs have already made their way to reports in mainstream media outlets like Fox News.
Librarians at the college argue that 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. [ ]
An example of an Islamomisic Microaggression is an utterance of widespread phrases like Merry Christmas, Happy Easter, and God bless you.

And the appropriate response to a charge of “microaggression” is “Suck it up, Buttercup.”
F—k them and the “microaggressions” they rode in on.
I had no idea that I was so aggressive. I wonder what else I can do to annoy them.
God bless us, everyone!
Let them BE OFFENDED.
Whatever the PCdiots want you to do that you aren’t predisposes to do anyway: do not do it ... make a point of not doing it because they support it.
Whatever the PCdiots want you to not do that you aren’t predisposed to not do anyway: do it more ... put up ANOTHER statues for example ... make a point of doing it because they oppose it.
As for the poor widdle Muslims: screw them and their sensitivities.
Another example of the decline in writing standards for so-called journalists. The "guide" is an inanimate object - it does not have beliefs.
They’d have to problem with someone shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’ and setting off a bomb, however. As long as they’re not within 50 feet.
Baloney to the “yahoos” quoted in this article. Having just spent the better part of the last three years in Sharialand/ME, I have said all those phrases and more with zero negative responses from the Muslims I was working with. Just another effort from the progressives to create a hostile environment for Judeo/Christian values and a push to establish dhimmi attitude in non Muslims. Don’t give these tools of Satan an inch.
As someone has posted before, I bet none of the ladies were wearing a hajab or burka.
Any signs of this nonsensical fascism ending?
IF you ever bring your lunch to work, make sure it is a LARGE HAM sandwich.
Not likely at this point. Think of 2 Timothy 3:13.
Try it.
Oh, and I’ll say a prayer for you.
Ban sneezes.

Love it! And what the heck is islamomisic? They’re just making stuff up now. Besides, Islam has nothing to do with God, so what’s their problem?
What the hell is that?
How weak you are that mere words hurt you so.
Send these college librarian libtards over to your average A-rab country. Let them see what the people they bend over backwards not to offend are really like. Perhaps they will treat the college librarians to witnessing a beheading or stoning of a woman accused of adultery. Maybe they’ll get to see a hand chopped off an accused thief, or women raped and beaten by their husbands. Perhaps a brave woman will tell them how she was brutally sexually mutilated. Then let’s see if they are so intent on defending a people of that religion.
