Hurray for Michigan State Univ
This is true -- http://www.snopes.com/ 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.
CAIR OUT OF THE US!!!!!
Calling "it" a religion denigrates the word. It's an evil political cult, an ancient blood brother of Naziism.
The professer should not have identified himself by naming the University where he is employed.
They can't handle the truth! Three cheers for the Professor!
Any idea where we can send expressions of support for the brave professor?
Yeah, you're right. I should have called it what it is, a 7th century Satanic death cult that has no place in a 21st century civilized world.
I heard today that Saudi Arabia has named 19 Riadd (sp?)streets and 19 high schools in Riadd with the names of the nineteen 9/11 hijackers. Why do Bush and the Congress think the Saudis are actually our friends?
The email had no phone # or address for the prof or for MSU administration, but I got the following from the White Pages site.
Michigan State University East Lansing, MI 48823 (517) 355-1855
LOL
I don't know. Maybe we view the Saudis like we did Saddam a quarter-century ago. They may be bad, but there's worse in the region. Unfortunately, S.A. are the financial backers of the extremists in the region. Much like our ultraleft Billionaires in this country.
By the way, I've only used that graphic twice. It was one I picked up from FR. But I am so freakin' sick of CAIR and we're talking about NK and nukes and I'm just waiting for CAIR to be added to the list of terrorist org/supporters.
Professor of Courage and Truth ping
Do you have any data on this statement? I'd like to follow-up on it. Thanks..............FRegards
More needed on that. Source?
