You said — “INFORMATION WE KNOW FROM THE EMAIL (not necessarily factual)”
Well, as everyone well knows, we’ve been going over the assumed facts. They are assumed for the sake of discussion, otherwise there would be nothing to discuss.
However, we have come to a troubling point where the presented facts don’t match up with the “belief” of the uninjured student. As I was saying earlier, if one is going to perpetrate a false story, then it must be as close as possible to known facts and then you throw in a “belief” — because one can’t say to that person — “you don’t have that belief”. It may be their belief, even if it is a wrong belief.
So, that ends up perpetuating a story that is considered “unchallengable”. BUT, not entirely, you see... That’s because in analyzing everything (the given facts) we see that it doesn’t match up with the belief. And this throws the whole thing into question.
Even if it didn’t throw the whole thing into question — with reporters these days, making up stories out of whole cloth — we see that things need to be verified, or they are simply in the category of Aesop’s Fables.
And with the knowledge of a lot of college kids to being able to fake e-mails, it’s not inconceivable that there was a fake e-mail sent. Or, the professor may be one of those who believe in the “PC idealogy” and thinks that if there is a Jew who saves a life (and gets on the news) then there should be a Muslim who saves a life and gets on the news, too.
But, he doesn’t have a Muslim story. However, since he knows that there *certainly are* Muslims who do this (in his PC mind), it’s not a bad thing to invent a “literary character” to show the “real PC truth” — that indeed a Muslim would do this. So, a hoax e-mail is created and a literary invention is made — being the “fake student” (who remains, by the way, anonymous).
Until we can verify that this is not a hoax (and the information is *absent* to prove not) — then we must consider this an Aesop’s Fable in the PC world....

What you describe is much like a game we played in Girl Scouts. Sitting in a circle, the ‘starter’ is given a sentence on a scrap of paper and whispers it to the person on her right, and so on, through the circle. The last person says the sentence out loud. It’s never even close to what’s on the paper!
