Students at the University of Minnesota killed a proposed moment of silence for 9/11 victims due to concerns that Muslim students would be offended.
Theo Menon, a Minnesota Student Association representative realized that the university wasn't doing anything to memorialize 9/11.
So, on October 6, he introduced an MSA proposal to asking the university to institute a "moment of recognition" during the mornings of all future September 11ths.
The resolution in no way referred to Islam or to whether Islam itself is to blame for global terrorism. It did not require anyone to contemplate the fact that the terrorists responsible for 9/11 were Muslims. "It merely stated that 9/11 has had a lasting effect on many students, and ought to be reflected upon for a single moment, once a year."
But according to the Minnesota Republic, the resolution proved oddly controversial. MSA Director of Diversity and Inclusion, David Algadi, voiced "severe criticism" of the resolution.
Algadi was not the only one with this opinion. A majority of student government representatives sided with him, voting down the resolution in a 36-23 vote this month. If students had their way, there would be no moment of silence at UMN on Sept. 11, 2016.
But after the university became "inundated" with demands for a rebuke of the vote, UMN President Eric Kaler announced that he would formalize the moment of silence anyway. Kaler told the local press that he "wanted to make sure folks were aware that the U is committed to honoring the victims."

Trump is bad.
ooh ooh me please!! that @#$$#.
If only they could be made to trade places with those 3 thousand, they would change their minds.
Odumbo says 9/11 has nothing to do with Muslims.
I would like to take these ungrateful brats and put them in a coal mine, digging coal for 16 hours a day, 7 days a week for about 6 months then maybe by then they would grow the hell up!!!
Ungrateful pigs!!!
Life is hard. But it’s harder when you’re stupid.
I can only hope that these touchy-feely creeps join ISIS in time for the Russians to incinerate them.
Islam is offensive to humanity.

What the hell kind of stupid job is this?
I wonder how much the Minnesota taxpayers are paying this guy.?
.
Algadi is a middle eastern surname .
Another piece of evidence that the left instinctively sides with evil.
I sure hope the taxpayers of Minnesota find paying taxes to support this clown university “offensive” and decide to do something about it.
I strongly oppose abortion. However, after reading this I can see why some so strongly encourage and defend it.
tough shiite.
I can’t wrap my head around the fact a 9/11 moment of silence can be offensive to anyone...
These people are brain damaged...
moslems need to be offended. It’s the only way to get them desensitized so they’ll eventually calm down.
HEY GOAT HUMPING DIRTBAGS!...Mohammed was a child molester!
So instead of a moment of silence for Americans, would a moment of celebration for Muslims be approved?
Sometimes students INSIST on learning in the school of hard knocks, enrollment in which is entirely optional.
