The insanity and arrogance of some professors makes me think his account plausible....but then he might be a jerk who really threatened her, either way I want to see hard evidence before I choose a side.

Try the liberal approach.

If one does not like the “professor”, simply refuse to take a course from him/her/it/etc.

If enough smart folks (e.g., conservatives) do this, we could eliminate a good many of the vermin currently pretending to be academics.

It may be a required course and he may be the only one teaching it.

When a muzzie acts up in class the muzzie is always right, and the normal person is always wrong, so F*** it! I’m on the side of the student in this one.

Although I recognize that not *all* moslems are filthy,medieval knuckledraggers I sometimes wonder whether it might be wise to....no,I shouldn't go on.If I did I'd be banned for life by FR and beheaded by some moslem pig fornicator within 24 hours.

Interesting legal experiment.

IF, as the student asserts, the prof suspended him for disagreeing with her claims. He should make the same claim against the Koran, i.e. that nothing within its pages can be true.

Should that be considered ‘hate speech’ (done in several localities) then he has a case that the State has, defacto established a religion.

Since he could show that to criticize Christianity (and Judaism, Hinduism, etc. as has been done elsewhere) is acceptable but not for Islam, the State has deemed Islam the only acceptable religion and therefore is in violation of the Establishment Clause.

This article is very telling. It includes a Facebook note the professor wrote to the ACLU of Florida asking for help. In it she specifically mentioned “another students”, and then continues with “this one” which tells me she has had problems with other students. How many other times has she contacted the ACLU? Did she write the ACLU on March 13th, before she even contacted Rollins administrators? Sounds like she’s got an agenda, especially when she didn’t do anything to a muzzie student who said gays, adulterers, and thieves should have body parts removed according to Sharia Law.

I think that some things in the pages of the Koran and the Hadith are very likely true. There was a guy named Mohammad. He had a bad childhood losing his parents and being moved about families. He claimed to be a prophet. He killed those that doubted him. He betrayed deceived and terrorized people and demanded they believe him. He thought it a good thing blessed by God to do so. He did a 9 year old girl he had taken as his "wife" when she was 6. etc.

What only an idiot would believe (when not under militant threats or strong social pressure) is that he was a true prophet. The evidence that he was just an unbalanced narcissistic psychopath is overwhelming.

Good point, I missed this implication. This makes me suspect the student is on the right side of this.

Actually there is plenty of evidence that Mo didn't write the koran.

Jay Smith on discrepancies about the koran.

Thank you for referencing that article ColdOne. As usual, please note that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

If I understand this issue correctly, it is not a 14th Amendment issue imo.

More specifically, patriots are reminded that Supreme Court had clarified in United States v. Cruikshank that enumerated constitutional rights protect citizens only from actions of state and federal governments, not private entities.

And since this issue concerns a private school, the school has as much right to “reasonably” disagree with a student over religious issues as Christian-owned businesses have the right to diplomatically refuse service to LGBT people (ahem).

Corrections, insights welcome.

From what I heard lately there is video showing the professor is lying about him “assaulting” her- in fact she was the aggressor

She should be summarily fired if that is true

Well obviously he did not write it, he was illiterate. The Koran was a collection of what he taught and claimed were revelations from God, and the Hadith were narrated by various sources about his life, but by all accounts the man could not read or write himself. Certainly he was an historical figure, which is sad, because he was a very blood thirsty awful person who founded a blood cult that has caused pain, death, and suffering for 14 centuries.

And, as a ‘public accommodation’, like the college, how well did that work out for the baker(s) that refused to do biz w/ the gays (IIRC, $$$ in ‘fines’)??

The Socialists LOVE to have it both ways, since the Right usually bends over meekly to comply and has the ‘damn’est’ time arguing\debating vs. Constitution.

Of course she's lying. After all, under Islam, lying to and about infidels or "Taqiyya" is a holy sacrament.

He’s getting off easy. In a few decades, after the muslims overwhelm the native population, profession of faith in the resurrection will result in summary executions.

I don’t think you watched the video. The speaker provides evidence that mo not only didn’t write the koran but it’s not even based on his “teachings”.
