Muslim leaders condemn CW Post video

[EdNigma]

So, get all bent over cartoons, have riots over some comment from the Pope, kill film directors for insulting the religion of peas, now piss about some college students having fun with 'terrorists'?

hhhmm.. if muslims spent as much energy debunking 'terrorists' as they do being 'offended' over stupid crap, there'd be no terrorism.

And, having such short attention spans is what they count on. The faster they can get 'terrorist' off the front page, and replace it with 'poor little muslim' articles the better for THEM!

They are fighting a 2000 year old war, and most westerners can't recall what they had for breakfast.

Anyrate, the latest "Take focus off the real problem" muslim row.

A video by five students at the C.W. Post Campus of Long Island University depicting ski-masked "hostage-takers" speaking in cartoonish Middle Eastern accents has drawn condemnations from local Muslim leaders.

The university dismissed the students from their jobs as residence hall assistants in Brookville Hall, saying they had engaged in activity that violated their employment contract and that reflected "insensitivity."

hhhmmm.. Cry for a rubber duck, Nick Berg is forgotten. damned shame.

In the video, which mocks those aired by real-life terrorists, five figures speak in exaggerated accents as they threaten their captive, a rubber duck dubbed "Pete," according to an account in the student newspaper that knowledgeable campus sources agreed was accurate. The subtext is understood to many on campus: The duck is the mascot for Brookville Hall.

While friends of those who created the film amphasized it was made in jest, Muslim leaders did not see the humor. They acknowledged students' right to freedom of speech, but said that right carries responsibility.

Of course, if it were a Christian saying the same about a muslim, that would be islamiphobic and racist.

"I think it's not a prank," said Ghazi Khankan of Long Beach, a member of the board of the American Muslim Alliance, which he described as a regional and national group that advocates for Muslim participation in the political process. "Campuses are for enlightenment and for teaching us to get along, to respect each other, to know how to live together."

I shot Sunny-D on my keyboard. The last thing I read about is muslims 'getting along' and 'respecting' others. Grow a nad.

Habeeb Ahmed, president of the Islamic Center of Long Island in Westbury, who said he was a C.W. Post alumnus, agreed. "People are testing the waters again and again, and the Muslim community is always at the receiving end."

I am sure there are many of headless people that would argue with you about that.

"I thought it was hysterical," said Schlegel, who said he had seen the video. "There's no way it can be seen as these guys are being racist. It was strictly made for entertainment. They're not troublemakers of any sort."

Nope, but as usual the 'trouble' comes from islam. Any bets on a 'retaliation' bomb, murder, or violent protest? Of course, since the media is so washed, nothing ever get's reported as 'terrorism' in the US, even though it's clear it is. Canada is pretty good about telling it how it is, but still some 'washing' going on. britain is paralyzed by islam, so they have no 'voice' anymore. Not to speak illy of the people that live in other countries, just policies. I mean think of it, we all have to live somewhere, and to make fun of another from where they live is weak.
