Then claiming that the e-mail was private was a moot point. If he wanted to communicate as a private person he could have used a private account and avoided all of the problems.
Mind you, I agree with the guy, but he invited the repercussions by making his identifying himself as he did.
Sorry, did not proof read, I meant:

I kinda like the fact that he didn't hide himself. The whole public/private part was simply that he thought he was replying to an individual and not 'all muslims'. He has tenure so there isn't anything they can do to him. its about time a non-commie professor uses tenure to say some incredibly unpopular things on a college campus. Typically, its some nutbag prof. explaining that Rummy and Cheney were behind 9/11 or that the people who died at the WTC were 'little eichmanns'.
Let's just hope he has a large and mean dog patrolling his home.
I believe I will keep this courageous man in my prayers.
