‘American Sniper’ derailed by Muslim complaints at University of Maryland
Washington Times ^

Posted on 04/24/2015 2:36:52 PM PDT by Red in Blue PA

The University of Maryland joins the University of Michigan in the ranks of educational institutions with an "American Sniper" controversy.

Muslim student protests prompted the University of Maryland at College Park to announce the cancellation of the movie about deceased Navy SEAL Chris Kyle.

"American Sniper only perpetuates the spread of Islamophobia and is offensive to many Muslims around the world for good reason. This movie dehumanizes Muslim individuals, promotes the idea of senseless mass murder, and portrays negative and inaccurate stereotypes," the university's Muslim Students Association said in its petition, Fox News reported Thursday.

Right there they are saying they support terrorism. It was the USA who got rid of the psychotic dictator Saddam Insane who was torturing and killing MUSLIMS for decades! It was the USA who brought stability to the country by FIGHTING for it like CHRIS KYLE did! If you are against all that then you support the very terror groups they fought against. Why are these people even here? Seriously, with that quote above they are admitting they are a threat.

They talk out of both sides of their mouth. They say these aren’t true Muslims and doesn’t represent them then states that this movie unfairly represents them.

We all know what the truth is.

A radical muslim wants to cut your head off. A moderate muslim wants a radical muslim to cut your head off.

How many signatures will it take to boot all the Muslims out of this country before there is civil war with them?

Muslims thrown into the mix with freedom, liberty, and the US Constitution don't mix...

I’m with you on that. I use to drive a taxi in New York city and dealt with Muslims every day while waiting for a cab in the garage, and besides blaming everything on the Jews they would also tell me stuff like it was an affront against Allah to be anything but Muslim and the 911 attacks were deserved because the USA run by Jews kills Muslims, and everyone must follow the Holy Koran.

See this guy right here? He worked out of the same garage I did. He was a Jew who converted to Islam and immediately went radical. I use to see him EVERY day! Every day he would be in the lunch room wearing the Islamo garb reading the Koran..And gee whiz what happened when he joined “The Religion of peace”?

They are freakin nuts, I use to argue with them and laugh in their face all the time and tell them to move to Iran. New York city has got 17,000 taxi cabs running all throughout the city 24/7 and a huge number of those cabs are driven by Muslims. That city is so ripe for a terror attack it ain’t funny. All they would have to do it load up a bunch of taxis with explosives and they could bring that city to its knees which is one of the reasons I moved. And now they got a commie punk ass for Mayor who has all but guaranteed that will happen thanks to his dismantling of the NYPDs terror task force. My brother still lives there, we tell him all the time to get the hell out before it’s too late.

I am getting massive anti muslim feelings, do to their Practice of Raping, Murdering, and selecting people of all faiths as Hostages or for Cutting their throats while taking movies of their Barbarous acts against Humanity.
Since they choose to show these films Nationwide , at Least they should show movies of decent people fighting Back.
These clown should be run out of those Colleges and out of this country.
Please take C.A.I.R, With you when you go.
