As reported by Ben Shapiro in “Stalin-Esque Show Trial At Tufts University,” disciplinary action was brought against the Primary Source, a conservative campus newspaper, for "Islam: Arabic Translation: Submission." We have just read a copy of "Islam: Arabic Translation: Submission" at http://www.thefire.org/public/pdfs/f102e5ae4168a0125d295748d41d0558.pdf?direct and it contains nothing but 100 percent facts about militant "Islam," such as the death fatwa on Salman Rushdie and the treatment of women in Saudi Arabia. There is nothing whatsoever in this document that the Muslim Student Association should have found offensive unless, of course, it condones and agrees with the human rights violations and atrocities described. As reported by Mr. Shaprio,

And the CSL swallowed this gibberish whole. Barbara Grossman, the radical left chair of the CSL, compared printing the carol ["Come All Ye Black Folk"] to spray-painting a swastika on a synagogue. Another CSL member stated that labeling Islam violent was unacceptable in any way, shape or form.

...Traditional Holocaust denial consists of denying that any Jews (or Poles, Gypsies, and other non-Aryans) were murdered during the Second World War, or denying that Armenians were murdered in 1915. Other forms, however, involve (1) acknowledging a genocide or atrocity but blaming it on someone other than the known perpetrators (e.g. 9/11 conspiracy theories), (2) downplaying the atrocity, and (3) suppression of public discussion of such atrocities and human rights outrages under color of authority. From where we sit, Tufts University's Committee on Student Life engaged in the latter activity. Pastor Martin Niemoller said that the Nazis came for him when nobody was left to speak up about them, and the CSL's attempted disciplinary action against the Primary Source served to enable 21st century Nazis who would prefer that nobody speak up about their activities
