**Standing ovation**

That a$$hat is actually a department director at a US university? The mind boggles.

“They have curtailed many civil liberties, reduced the standards of habeas corpus significantly and profiled Muslims legally all in the name of combating terrorist threats.”
“The West continues to brag about its culture of freedom of expression and uses it as an excuse to mock Islam.”

These two statements, made by a disgruntled Islamic studies professor, could just as easily have been quotes made by Baraq Obama or Eric Holder in recent press conferences or speeches. The idea that natural rights like habeas corpus be applied to foreign combatants or terrorists has always been rejected throughout our history in favor of military tribunals, until our dynamic duo decided to put KSM on trial in New York.

And just as the professor wants to limit the right of American citizens to freely express ideas he doesn’t like, our leftist political leadership is currently seeking to intimidate their domestic conservative critics with specious accusations of “sedition”.

Incidentally, I would like to point out to the professor that while making it illegal for Muslim women to wear a burqa was seriously considered in France, nobody would even dream of that happening here. Not unless our concept of “natural rights”, of which he obviously disapproves, is abandoned in favor of European “human rights”. The same can be said about making “holocaust denial” illegal.

Thank you. I felt like standing up and clapping at the end of that one!!!

I wish your letter could be printed everywhere in America and overseas, too... Just so we can all make ourselves clear and all.
