Who in their right mind, no matter who they are, would tell a child, brother, sister, husband, wife, or country that it is really sad that their loved one died, but they deserved it. That is about the dumbest person on earth. They really don't deserve the diploma. If the school has a no tolerance program, then anyone's saying this during this time of mourning should be thrown out of school for basic stupid ethical behavior.

Can anyone tell me where I can get black boot polish wholesale? It seems there's gonna be a huge market for it in the US, and I figure I could be a Useful Reich-Citizen by distributing it...

Human life means NOTHING to those Islamics and Arabs. They could just slice up a person and kill him/her/baby/mother,etc. and feel good about it. My point=they don't revere life like other people do.

Just damn.

Substitute the word American for Arab / Christian for Islamic and you can get a free lifetime membership in the Taliban terrorist club.

Your friend should have crushed the creep.

He said a group wanted to, but were prevented by the professor. And, the story says the professor escorted the young man to safety.

Well I guess the handwriting is on the wall!!

Yes, I believe it is. Either for Islamic nations or for us. One or the other is going down in a few months. It's not going to be pretty. However, they seem to be provoking and inviting the conflict...meaning they're ready. We need to GET READY and then fight smart.

Websites detailing Chechen tatics in the Battle of Grozny should be a MUST READ for everyone on this website who loves the U.S. and its soldiers. They're going to employ the same tatics used there AND in Afghanistan to inflict the most in casualties and cause the U.S. to lose heart for the war. Folks need to be MENTALLY prepared for this and we must fight a new war, one without quarter. I don't know if we have leadership capable of doing that. If we don't, we'll lose.

The one thing left waiting to happen: A small number of Muslims will begin faking hate crimes to get attention and show how evil patriots are.

A handful of Muslim students cheered at another university here in Houston. How do I know? Because my daughter heard them and was quite distraught over the matter. I'm afraid she's grown up a bit this week.

A student can say whatever the heck they like.

I've taken advantage of this "loophole" (while it remains open) to stand up for my principles, I don't see why these people shouldn't be able to say what they think without being attacked. Violence against the non-violent is wrong. Verbal support for terror is not the same as material support.

""Nobody cares (about the deaths of Muslims overseas). It doesn't make the news headlines, and it's a hush-hush thing."

Well, shoot, Young Iraqi Student.............your own fellow countrymen over yonder don't give a flyin' fiddler's damn, either. Why should we? You primitives have been slaughtering each other by the bushel for centuries.....yet you think we should give a s**t?

"But as soon as 35,000 to 50,000 Americans die, it's a big deal.""

Ummmmmmmmm...............yep, College Student. Rhodes Scholar. You got that right. You also win the "Understatement of the Year Award".

What a twit. He deserved a beating just because of his stupidity.

I'm sure there were more strongly worded proposals...

I'm sure of which side of the aisle proposed them...

Im sure of which side watered them down...

...perhaps we should just censure Osama bil Clinton, er, I mean bin Laden...

"Everyone is going home because (they are) worried about their safety," Samuel said. "We're lumped into one group because we're dark-skinned with a common heritage."

This kid is a hypocrite. Out of one side of his mouth, he complains of being "lumped together," while out of the other, he says he should be lumped together: "because we ... [have] a common heritage." As an Indian, the idiot has nothing at all in common with Arabs -- including skin- color -- yet he identifies with them. Then he has nothing to complain about.

Meanwhile, the Islamic student, Jafri, sides with our enemies, yet condemns US for intolerance. He says that the U.S. suports "the slaughter of Palesitinians." But no "Palestinians" are slaughtered -- they only die by choice, as suicide bombers, while attacking Israeli soldiers, etc. According to that logic, America is guilty of "slaughtering" the WTC, Pentagon, and PA suicide bombers, too. And this young man's professor is no better -- he merely thought the student's timing was bad, not his message.

They are already doing that here in the Southwest Ohio area. Whinning about their kids getting beat up, but kids show no bruises on them, and there are no police reports--just a lot of hurt feelings, big deal. Look at Manhattans' feelings. And Barbera Olsens' husbands feelings!

You're right, let him say what he wants. But, he'll have to deal with the consequences of what he says. In a free society that may hurt.

Yeah, theoretically, in a free society, when you say something stupid you should hurt for it...

Too many pacifists these days though. Let the kid take whatever the shloshed Houston frats have to give him. Ought to instill in him a better sense of timing at any rate...

I don't think anybody wanted to attack him."

IF this is true, we are in BIG trouble in the U.S.

Don't say "He should be arrested for making that point".

Before or after he blows something up? Would you let me know?

I was just told to stop talking about the possibility of war where I work. And, I intend to obey. Now, what's the difference between MY righ to free speech and this student's right to free speech? If he can spout hateful, racist comments, can't I say that we should wage total war on radical Islamic nations?

If not, why not?
