Islamic Fundamentalism Sensitivity Training

[BigBlueJon]

Good Morning. I have a request for suggestions. My brother, who I will not name, attends a university, which, again I will not name, and has to attend RA training for his dorm. Every year the RA (Resident Advisor)staff must complete 2 weeks of training, and during the training there is one day where they have to attend some type of sensitivity training. This year's training will involve hosts and speakers from the school and community. The training will involve getting to know your fellow Islamic students and a brief question/answer session.

My brother has to attend this training and is very unhappy about it. He wants to express his displeasure in a way that will add some humour, prove a point, and not get himself fired or expelled. Any suggestions are welcome. We aren't looking in any way to hurt anyone physically or threaten, just have a little fun.

[RushCrush]

Ask when they've scheduled the Catholic Sensitivity Training?

Or Jewish

Evangelical Christian

Etc.

[Uncledave]

Show up to the meeting wearing a mock bomb vest?

[Personal Responsibility]

He will be unable to do so. Any slight will be perceived by those who look for reasons to take offense as a massive insult and will be responded to accordingly. If he cannot deal with massive reprocussions, he should not express his displeasure. If he is willing to fight, then tell him I wish him the best of luck!

[BigBlueJon]

So far, some of the ideas that we have are pretty fun. He's thought about wearing a Jimmy Dean Sausage Hat and a "pork, the other white meat" t-shirt. Maybe eating a couple pork sausage biscuits or a bag of spicy hot pork rinds.

I suggested dabbing a little bacon dripping on his skin and hands. Pork fat is a good moisturizer, ya know. Maybe wearing a little bacon grease for cologne.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Ask what time the weekly pig roast starts...

[DTogo]

Remind everyone that bomb belts, AK-47s, Katyusha rockets, and be-headings are not allowed in the dorms. And they should refrain from yelling "Allahu Akbar!"

[texas_mrs]

Wear a button that says "Walid Shoebat for President"

[thoughtomator]

My advice is that he keep his big mouth shut, because all he can get is trouble.

[Uncledave]

Ask for a show of hands on who believes the holocuast happened?

[b4its2late]

Have him pray with them, but place a sign on his rear end that says "Allah can kiss my lilly white Irish ass".

[BigBlueJon]

Yeah, I already asked that and so did he. He hates this pc crap, but this is his last year and his fifth year as an RA.

Find your jollies elsewhere.

[Cyber Liberty]

I'm with thoughtomater. Don't say anything, it's not a fair venue for a relly good argument because he can get canned.

[mass55th]

Tell you brother to find another job and perhaps another school.

[Experiment 6-2-6]

No, he does NOT have to attend.

He gets compensated for being an RA.

Any "displeasure" expressed is not proving a point, it show that he is not willing to comply with the "sensitivity training".

Just have a little fun is how them law school questions start..

Your brother needs to make a decision.

[RightWhale]

For Pres of CAIR.

[SkyPilot]

Tell him to show up wearing this T-shirt eating a BLT sandwich.

If he really doesn't care much for his RA job, he could bring a large jar of pickled pig feet and offer to share them with the crowd.
