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

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.

“Colonialist” - yes, as you can clearly see by that huge new colony of white people in Iraq.

She is free to go home. See how safe she feels there.

Of course, mass shootings have followed this movie around the country.

Well, they did also take the uproars over hard core porn flicks and the Vagina Monologues quite seriously too .... oh, wait ...

"Don't go see it."....Exactly!!!

Ah Ha, that would spoil their purpose which is to scream loudly anytime their "religion" AKA as their government.....is shown in a bad light. It is the Muslim who is behind this sudden world wide discrimination against the Jew....this is a very bad thing....don't be a part of it.

I was watching the miniseries ‘V’ before the 2012 election. Anna, the head of the Visitors, was being interviewed on TV. She told the interviewer that he could ask anything as long as he didn’t cast the Visitors in a bad light. I often think of the Obama Admin and it’s supporters as Visitors. Wanting to suck the life out of this once great country and then turn over what’s left to the Radicals. Prayers that this scenario never plays out.

A prime example why “students” should not have the vote. They are undeucated louts with heads full of mush.

Because it the largest grossing and most popular film of the year...possibly???

Let the air out her ego and tell her it's not all about her or the muzzies.

Why don’t the Muslims try to prove to the world that Islam is a “religion of peace” instead of demonstrating on a daily basis that Muslims are barbaric savages?

How about they screen a movie about the life of mohamed (piss be upon him) instead? I hear there was a really good one made in 2012.

Yup. With a right-on- target message too, Farah.
