I never said he was blameless. Do you think Al-Arian should be given a trial, or is that just a waste of time?

So, who decides who gets fired? Should university administrators be empowered to fire anyone they disagree with?

Spare me the name calling.

"No! Stop tarring defenders of academic freedom as "villains"! "
"I never said he was blameless..."

Really.

What do you think, fool? 

So, who decides who gets fired?

If he's a law breaker he should get his a$$ fired and I hope he does. He was just arrested and the US Government is accusing him of breaking laws.

Should university administrators be empowered to fire anyone they disagree with?

They should fire those who raise funds for Islamic terror groups. There are laws on the books concerning this.

They do already.

In any event, it's not a matter of agreeing with him or not. He got caught red-handed in evidence broadcast on local and national radio and television. The University doesn't have to maintain the same standard of proof that the courts do. Ergo, they can summarily toss him, period.

Or in plainer English, he blew it, got caught and got tossed. Q.E.D.

You never DID explain why you contradicted yourself.

[Darksheare]

IF Al Arian isn't blameless, then he's where he deserves to be, right?
So why are you defending him?

You also ignored the FACT that he's a terrorist supporter/terrorist in the HAMAS group. (Proven. Just look over the posts in the thread. You can read. Or, at least, you're supposed to be able to read. One never knows these days with the education system as it sits. Especially since 'tolerance' of everything perverse is more important than teaching critical thinking skills.)

Should terrorists be given a free ticket into our country to do as they please under the guise of 'academic freedom'?
You never answer direct questions, I noticed.
Just like Camachee.
Camachee... You tossed an insult out there first, so by your statement, your argument is weak.
How about this: Those who support terrorism and teh MURDER of innocents should be rounded up and put on trial as accessories to, or perpetrators of murder.
AS WELL AS executiopnn according to their own rules under ISLAM. (Beheading with a sword, in case you didn't know.)
That's fair, and impartial. And respects their beliefs.
