As we in the Western world have come to expect, many Muslims and Islamic organizations claim "outrage" at almost anything and everything they can find. They rioted, burned buildings and vehicles over cartoons that parodied their prophet Muhammad. Then Muslims rioted, burned buildings and vehicles and even murdered a nun when Pope Benedict XVI quoted a 14th century Emperor who was critical of Islam. Like the Left, apparently, they have little to do-except riot or protest and attempt to silence all of those who have the unmitigated gall to disagree with their tenets of belief.
Political correctness has completely taken over the secularists of the West, which has become feckless, jaded and pathetic. Now, all that terrorists and their supporters have to do is complain that they are "being discriminated against" (and threaten to call someone-somewhere-a "racist") and the West caves easily and willingly to all of their demands. Nowhere is this surrender more evident than in the case of Muslims' latest indignation.
Five CW Post College students created a parody video, along the lines of the satirical film "Team America". The video was directed at the Long Island University's residence hall mascot-a rubber duck. In the film, which clearly stated in its intro that the film was a joke, five ski-mask wearing men of presumed Middle Eastern origin kidnap the duck and threaten to cut its throat. Muslims and, therefore, CW Post College officials were horrified! Gazi Khanhan of the American Muslim Alliance is quoted as saying: "The harm that generates out of such jokes stereotypes Muslim Americans!" Note to Khanhan: It only "stereotyped" terrorists. From his comments, one has to wonder if Khanhan and his group support them.
To add insult to injury, CW Post College fired all of the film-making and honor-roll students from their jobs as Residence Hall Assistants and threatened to expel them. The reason given by college officials was that the film was "insensitive". Question: Have these university officials seen the recent films coming out of Hollywood? Apparently, actual terrorist beheadings of real people is not a problem for the university. The students, unless they wished to lose their status as students, were forced to offer their mea culpas. They have apologized for making fun of the new "politically correct" terrorists.
As I wrote in a previous column, the Left will soon consider terrorism to be just another ideology-to be accepted and protected by their suicidal minions. Now, CW Post College has proved my point. Apparently terrorists are to be accepted, if not revered, by all who are allowed to set foot upon this university's "hallowed" grounds. I'm guessing this college also bans US Military recruitment.
We-the-people are now being forced to accept terrorists and their killing-field philosophies into our midst and are not allowed to oppose them. Even our troops who are courageously and honorably working to keep the terrorists from our shores are being forced to fight an increasingly PC war. While our valiant soldiers fight an enemy that has vowed to destroy us and dominate the world, the leftist press, elected officials and our own universities work against them-and then fight for terrorists' rights.
The insanity is becoming more and more prevalent, folks. Unless we can soon gain a majority of true conservatives into elected office, our fate will be sealed.
It's just that clear.

New outrage? Old outrage, we hardly knew ye.
Not this person. I do not and will not accept terrorists and I will oppose them at every juncture. Submission is not an option.
Interesting how the men were presumed to be of Middle Eastern origin. Was it the ski-masks or the kidnap/throat cutting that gave it away? Seems that the film makers actually proved a point - joke or no joke.
Good Grief! We are truly doomed with this terrorist enabler mindset.
May God bless us anyway.
I don't know why this would cause Muslims to be outraged other than being an outraged Muslim seems to be the fad these days, like a leftist protestor protesting something, just for the sake of protesting, no matter how rediculous the reason is, as long as they can slip on their street theater costumes and ham it up for the hordes of media camera crews.
Muslims make films of masked "devote muslims" reciting from the koran the passages that justify their acts, and hack off a persons head, then distribute it through all of Islamic "media" Muslim trinket shops, Muslim government post offices, etc. Yet that doesn't cause any "Muslim outrage" whatsoever. Not even a peep of protest. In fact muslims rush to buy up the latest editions, then run to their mordern, electrified mud huts to view them while snacking on some fried cheeze.
I remember Popeye clobbering a bucktooth, glasseswearing Tojo while singing "You're a sap, Mr. Jap!"
Professing to be wise they became fools.

"Why a duck?"
Maybe if these Muslims start making snuff films of masked 'devote Muslims' sawing off the heads of gays guys caught playing with gerbils, while reciting the justification for it from the koran will stir up some lefty passions.
"To make a yankee cranky!" I remember that!
School mascot.
The would be Islamic Reich.
