UC Merced holds ‘teach-in’ to help students understand stabbing attacker Faisal Mohammad
Wash Times ^ | 11/22/15 | Jessica Chasmar -

Faculty at the University of California-Merced reportedly held a “teach-in” Monday night to help students better understand the motives of 18-year-old Faisal Mohammad, who earlier this month wounded four people with a hunting knife before being killed by campus police.

The conservative college news website The College Fixreported that the teach-in was “conspicuously” devoid of discussions of radical Islam, and instead “delved into topics such as how society’s notions of masculinity pressure men.”

Mohammad, a freshman studying computer science at UC Merced, was found to have a printout image of the Islamic State flag alongside a handwritten manifesto with detailed instructions to behead students and multiple reminders to “praise Allah.” Still, investigators have maintained there is no indication that he had any terrorist ties.

Monday’s teach-in, titled “Don’t Turn Our Tragedy Into Hate,” was hosted by the critical race and ethnic studies faculty, The College Fix reported.

One speaker during the panel discussion appeared to blame Mohammad’s anger on societal gender norms.

“Anger, that is really what we think about when we think about emotional men,” she reportedly said. “They are subject to social sanctions if they deviate from masculinity. If you are perceived as failing at it, you are subject to being called a fag, a pussy, a wimp, pretty much what women are, right?”

“So when you have this limited ability to sort of express your emotions and possible feelings of emasculation, of low self esteem, how do you really [deal with] that? A lot of times they … engage in violence. They need to compensate for their loss of masculinity in the most manly way they have access to, and unfortunately, a lot of times that’s violence.”

Reason #878 for The State of Jefferson.

We won't allow stupid people to become teachers at our colleges and universities.

Or our grade schools for that matter.

Poor little Mohammad, another victim of Sudden Jihad Syndrome.

Simple enough.
A teach-in isn't needed beyond a one sentence summation along the lines of:
Faisal Mohammad is another insane dumbass wannabe muzzie jihadi terrorist POS wanting to murder innocent infidels to the glory of the Profit Moehamdog.

"The Left so desperately wants everyone to “understand” criminals, Muslim terrorists, thugs, dictators, and tyrants. Why is that?"

It's because Satan is running their show. That's what Satan does to people who do not follow the One True God, and possess the Grace of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit in their lives.

Yeah, it must be about "gender norming." Nothing to do with Islam.

These adorable little ragamuffins will be ready for college in the USA in a decade or so, after they are brought in as "refugees."

Yes, they are brainwashed as deeply as the Soviets who were executed after show trials, who went to their deaths crying out “Long live the revolution!”

-— The Left so desperately wants everyone to *understand* criminals, Muslim terrorists, thugs, dictators, and tyrants. Why is that? -—

Look up “Marxist Critical Theory.”

It boils down to a Marxist tactic: always criticize, never propose. The object is to bring down the established order, or Western civilization.

I fully understand Faisal Mohammad. He was a Muslim. That’s all you need to know.

Since the Palestinian terrorist attack on an American 18 year old student overseas, you would think they would be on alert.

If these folks in colleges around the country don't wake up they may find themselves in the middle of some real live die-ins at the hands of the mooslimes they coddle so much.

STOOOOOPID!!!!!
