Muslim students protest campus screening of ‘American Sniper’
The College Fix ^ | 3/16/15 | Jennifer Kabbany

Posted on 03/16/2015 8:01:16 AM PDT by ButThreeLeftsDo

Some Muslim students at the University of Missouri protested an upcoming campus screening of “American Sniper” and clamored to have the film’s debut there canceled.

At the heart of the controversy is a Muslim student activist who declared showing the film on campus would make her feel “unsafe” and demanded an “apology and explanation” as to how and why the movie was even selected for Mizzou audiences.

The uproar was taken quite seriously, and prompted the student government to conduct a meeting to determine whether the flick should be shown.

“This film is blatant racist, colonialist propaganda that should not be shown under any circumstances and especially not endorsed by a branch of student government that purports to represent me and have my best interests in mind,” student Farah El-Jayyousi had stated.

“feel safe”.....The Supreme Court has decided that LE is not even responsible for ensuring the safety of citizens. What makes this ‘person’ think a university is required to do beyond that.

If she is a foreigner, ship her ass back with a new Burka. If she’s a new-made citizen, revoke it. No one is guaranteed the right to “feel safe”. That’s up to Mr. Smith and Mr. Wesson.

Betcha Farah wouldn't say a peep about a montage of ISIS ‘best of’ videos.

Can you imagine a college campus banning 'The Longest Day' because some German students were offended?

Deport all Muslims and their commie campus sycophants...

In 1977, someone did make a movie about Muhammad. It was called The Message . To avoid offending Islamic sensibilities, it was filmed entirely from Mohammed's point of view. Islamic reaction was predictable. There were riots wherever the film was shown.

You feel unsafe? Are you admitting that Islam is at war with the US, that it is not just a few terrorists?
The explanation as to why the movie was selected is this is the Ubited States, the movie is about a United States hero and is one of the most popular American movies out there...

Then I say we show it over and over and sit back to pick off the rioters. Maybe then they will learn not to riot. But I doubt it.

“Free speech” — to the left — had always meant shouting down opposing viewpoints.

How ungrateful!

She comes to a country that protects her right to protest, from a country that (probably) doesn’t allow any kind of dissent.

She comes to a country that allows her to go to college, from a country that (probably) doesn’t allow any women to go to college.

She comes to a country that treats women equally in all respects, from a country that treats women as second-class citizens.

If she’s unhappy here, maybe she should go back to her home country.

Farah El-Jayyousi why did you come to America?
If it was for the freedom and liberty that this country offers then you should support this movie wholeheartedly. Not to mention if you do not desire to do so it is not for you to say others can not see it.
If you came to America to change this Nation from one of freedom and liberty to one that is the death cult of Islam, then you likely would be fearful...

Having members of the religion of head choppers on campus makes most people feel unsafe. Stay the hell off campus.

I can’t really write here what my response would be. I have about had a belly full of their whining and protesting. Someone in authority once - just once - please tell them to shove it. Please.

Simplest response to this would be to tell this woman only someone who has chosen her race and religion over her countrymen would express this kind of view. Make sure everyone knows she is the true bigot.

She… referred to Chris Kyle, the Navy SEAL featured in the film, as

“a killer with no regard for human life.”

Having foreigners dictate what Americans can watch makes me feel unsafe.
