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.

Does the University of Maryland have a Christian Student Association? And a Jewish Student Association or a Buddhist Student Association?

Islam is a war plan, and it’s infecting the 1st Amendment.

These disgusting people want to destroy free speech.

Damned right...and time to start dropping the bombs.

Muslims like these students are funneling money to their extremist brethren. They don’t want a movie like “American Sniper” to build resolve against their investment.
