Professor Wichman E-mail
Claim: A Michigan professor sent an e-mail telling Muslim students to leave the country
Status: True.
Professor Wichman E-mail
Hooray for Michigan State University (The Spartans) and Professor Wichman!
Well, what do we have here. Looks like a small case of some people being able to dish it out, but not take it. Let's start at the top. The story begins at Michigan State University with a mechanical engineering professor named Indrek Wichman.
Wichman sent an e-mail to the Muslim Student's Association. The e-mail was in response to the students' protest of the Danish cartoons that portrayed the Prophet Muhammad as a terrorist. The group had complained the cartoons were "hate speech."
Enter Professor Wichman. In his e-mail, he said the following:
Dear Moslem Association:
As a professor of Mechanical Engineering here at MSU I intend to protest your protest.
I am offended not by cartoons, but by more mundane things like beheadings of civilians, cowardly attacks on public buildings, suicide murders, murders of Catholic priests (the latest in Turkey!), burnings of Christian churches, the continued persecution of Coptic Christians in Egypt, the imposition of Sharia law on non-Muslims, the rapes of Scandinavian girls and women (called "whores" in your culture), the murder of film directors in Holland, and the rioting and looting in Paris, France.
This is what offends me, a soft-spoken person and academic, and many, many, many of my colleagues. I counsel you dissatisfied, aggressive, brutal, and uncivilized slave-trading Moslems to be very aware of this as you proceed with your infantile "protests." If you do not like the values of the West -- see the 1st Amendment -- you are free to leave. I hope for God's sake that most of you choose that option.
Please return to your ancestral homelands and build them up yourselves instead of troubling Americans.
Cordially, I. S. Wichman Professor of Mechanical Engineering
As you can imagine, the Muslim group at the university didn't like this too well. They're demanding that Wichman be reprimanded and mandatory diversity training for faculty and a seminar on hate and discrimination for freshman. Now the Michigan chapter of CAIR has jumped into the fray. CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, apparently doesn't believe that the good professor had the right to express his opinion.
For its part, the university is standing its ground. They say the e-mail was private, and they don't intend to publicly condemn his remarks. That will probably change. Wichman says he never intended the e-mail to be made public and wouldn't have used the same strong language if he'd known it was going to get out.
How's the left going to handle this one? If you're in favor of the freedom of speech, as in the case of Ward Churchill, will the same protections be demanded for Indrek Wichman? I doubt it.
Send this to your friends, and ask them to do the same. Tell them to keep passing it around until the whole country gets it. We are in a war. This political correctness crap is getting old.
He didn't tell them to leave - he told them they are free to leave. Big difference. However, given the state of our PC universities, I'm doubtful MSU will continue to stand behind the good professor. Hopeful, but doubtful.
Sounds like at least one college professor gets it.
I'm sure this Prof. will be fired, with direct orders from our socialist Governor.
I just emailed the professor to show my support for his email, and asked him to notify me if MSU decides to take any action against him. I offered to try to drum up some support for him here on FR if needed, and invited him to take a look at this thread.
I bet if he had not been full professor, he would be taking hate speech courses if not fired.
Wow. Someone in an academic setting who understands.
Points for the brave professor.
It will be nationwide by nightfall, lol.
bump
Wonderful precedent to build upon. I expect the savages here are nervously watching as America wakes up to a ticking time bomb in our midst (midsts?).
My hat is off to the good Professor. Perhaps others will take strength from his courage and honesty.
Make that a Spartans "fan"!!!
That may be the que that some people are lloking for. imho
You'd be surprised at the "connections" some of the members of CAIR have.

[Senior CAIR employee Randall Todd Royer, a/k/a “Ismail” Royer, pled guilty and was sentenced to twenty years in prison
for participating in a network of militant jihadists centered in Northern Virginia. He admitted to aiding and abetting three persons
who sought training in a terrorist camp in Pakistan for the purpose of waging jihad against American troops in Afghanistan.
Royer’s illegal actions occurred while he was employed with CAIR.
CAIR's Director of Community Relations, Bassem Khafagi , was arrested by the United States due to his ties with a
terror-financing front group. Khafagi pled guilty to charges of visa and bank fraud, and agreed to be deported to Egypt.
Khafagi’s illegal actions occurred while he was employed by CAIR.]
Bravo for the professor. They should get the hell out of here and back to their Islamic paradises. I've had it up to here with their crap.
Damn, this professor has balls of steel.
"Obviously, we were disgusted by the e-mail," said Farhan Abdul Azeez, 20, of Canton, president of the Muslim students' organization.
"We were appalled. We did not expect something like this, especially from a tenured Michigan State University professor."
OK where to start with this idiot?
Hey, Farhan, a little advice; when your people kill innocents in the name of a religion, expect people to be "disgusted" with you and your "religion"
When your religion promotes suicide as a tool, expect those of us who value life to be a tad upset.
When the practise of your "religion" infringes upon the right of others to practise their religion, expect people to speak out.
When your "religion" seeks to destroy one of only a handful of societies where you are actually free to practise your "religion", expect those of us who believe in the values expounded in the Constitution of our country to want to kick your a$$ out of this country.
You're here getting an education that is second to none, at the expense of taxpayers who love the freedoms our society provides.
Shut up, get your diploma, and get your a$$ out of my country.
Please, allow me...
Shut up, give back all monies offered to you for your education, then get your a$$ out of our country. Get your diploma back where you came from.
