I wasn’t attempting to do anything, but thanks for your “gracious” and “courteous” warning. LOL.

This is not a joking matter, given the potential legal exposure to FR when posters try to get around the FR auto-excerpting process. There is a very good reason why that process is in place, and most folks understand that and don't try to paste more of the article elsewhere in the thread.

“Campus police moved quickly to remove the fliers, university leaders began investigating how they got there and student groups met last night to deplore the posters, which had a photo of an Arab and description of “typical Muslim” features such as “suicide vest,” “hidden AK-47” and “peg-leg for smuggling children and heroin.”

This sounds like a free speech issue. The posters don’t threaten Muslims, they satirize them. Think MAD magazine or Saturday Night Live. They satirize all sorts of people in just the same way. Why is that just good fun to satirize other groups and individuals, but satirizing Muslims is considered hate? I refuse to accept the PC polices contention that Muslims are somehow better than everyone else and must be treated differently.
