Yup. And the students may get the trouble they're asking for.
I am sending this to you to ask for your assistance in demanding action from the president of the University of Colorado.
Several months ago, it was brought to the attention of CU's administration that there was a link to the charter of the terrorist organization Hamas on the University of Colorado web site. This link sits on the page of the Muslim Student Association, an official student group at CU Boulder.
To get to the link, go to the CU homepage:www.colorado.edu, click on the link for student resources, click on the link for student activities, click on the link for student clubs and organizations, and click on the Muslim Students Association (for direct link, click here: http://www.colorado.edu/StudentGroups/msa/) Go to the links section and choose "ININ Worldwide News And Views About Islam And Muslims"
The charter specifically calls for the killing of Jews:
"... the Hamas has been looking forward to implement Allah's promise whatever time it might take. The prophet, prayer and peace be upon him, said: The time will not come until Muslims will fight the Jews (and kill them); until the Jews hide behind rocks and trees, which will cry: O Muslim! there is a Jew hiding behind me, come on and kill him! This will not apply to the Gharqad, which is a Jewish tree (cited by Bukhari and Muslim). "
"Israel, by virtue of its being Jewish and of having a Jewish population, defies Islam and the Muslims. "
It is completely unacceptable that the University allows this link to remain connected to its website. Can you imagine the promptness of the actions that would have been taken had there been a link containing a sexist joke, or using racist terminology, let alone calling for the killing of another minority group?
President Hoffman was notified in person of this link in January. Despite her assurances that the issue would be resolved, nothing has been done and the link remains.
As students, parents, prospective students, alumni and taxpayers, I urge you to let your voice be heard. Tell Elizabeth Hoffman that you will not attend or support CU if it allows an environment of hatred and anti-semitism to exist on its website and its campus. Demand that she act promptly to remedy this situation.
You can email her at president@cu.edu. Please also forward your email to the Board of Regents, who are elected officials, and let them know that you will speak with your votes! HELP THE STUDENTS OF CU KEEP THEIR ENVIRONMENT FREE FROM BIGOTRY AND HATRED!

"The solution to this seems fairly simple. Find (or form) a student group and link KKK, Neo-Nazi, etc. websites from that student website."
Oddly enough it was a friend from University Of South Florida who told me that some of the same problems they are facing on her own campus with the muslim love and jew hating are going on at C-U.

MRTA is the Tupac Amaru Revolutionary Movement in Peru. They are a terrorist organization and probably connected to the bombing in Lima this week.
How does hosting work? Does this mean someone at the University is supporting MRTA? Or can anyone put up a web site on their server?
