Dear Moslem Association:
As a professor of Mechanical Engineering here at MSU I intend to protest your protest. I am offended not by cartoons, but by more mundane things like beheadings of civilians, cowardly attacks on public buildings, suicide murders, murders of Catholic priests (the latest in Turkey!), burnings of Christian churches, the continued persecution of Coptic Christians in Egypt, the imposition of Sharia law on non-Muslims, the rapes of Scandinavian girls and women (called “whores” in your culture), the murder of film directors in Holland, and the rioting and looting in Paris France.
This is what offends me, a soft-spoken person and academic, and many, many, many of my colleagues. I counsel you dissatisfied, aggressive, brutal, and uncivilized slave-trading Moslems to be very aware of this as you proceeded with your infantile “protests.” If you do not like the values of the West — see the 1st Amendment — you are free to leave.
I hope for God’s sake that most of you choose that option.
Please return to your ancestral homelands and build them up yourselves instead of troubling Americans.




Aside from addressing this letter to a student organization, there's nothing inaccurate in this letter.

There's stuff in the letter that is clearly unnecessary and over the top. But the point he's making with all the really messed up stuff that is happening all over the world, that being upset over a harmless cartoon is retarded, is fine.

Funny cartoon --> hate an entire country and protest against it = stupid
Lots of messed up stuff --> hate Muslims = stupid

Maybe he thinks by sending this letter they will see how dumb it is to hate an entire group for something, especially in the case of some harmless cartoon. Your professor is clearly a bit messed up but I really hated what was happening over that cartoon as well. Muslims were burning Danish flags all over the world it was so confronting and sad. Over a little cartoon. Some lines on white paper. At the same time Muslims (who don't represent their fellow Muslims) were doing the stuff your professor described, and in return their fellow Muslims also don't think they deserve to be hated for that. Yet they think its ok to protest against Denmark for allowing some cartoons one single guy drew to be published.

The student organization wasnt hating anyone.

Maybe some zip is lost since you guys havent seen him in person. Knowing the guy and reading the letter.....hes for sure a nut.

I mean these are kids my age who hes telling to go back to their countries because they want to protest something that happened in denmark.

They were protesting against a cartoon drawn in another country and continent. To get out of your bed to protest against that is some serious hate in my eyes.

It's possible that he was trying to show how stupid it is to hate an entire country over a cartoon by showing them the stupidity of claiming they are part of a terrorist organization. That or he's crazy himself as well. But no more than those students.

What a bigoted trash...

MSU (Michigan state uni, amirite?) should seriously fire the professor under moral grounds. I remember once thinking that way for a day or two when a korean guy was executed by a muslim terrorist group back in '02... I was in 6th grade...

I call bullshit on most of that. While people being offended about it im sure happened. Even if there were thousands marching thats a drop in the population. Not everyone in Iran is a fucking nut who screams death to america.



Not to mention

"Moslem" is a total hillbilly and derogatory way to address Muslims in most peoples eyes. Its like calling Asians Orientals or arabs, A-Rabs.

At my school we had a professor that used to come to class stoned. I never took any of his classes but I read about him getting disciplined/fired after videos of his lectures started to rack up millions of hits on youtube

A cartoon which was published in a reputable western journal. This is very different from islamic extremist terrorist groups who are far removed from the average muslim. The problem with that cartoon was that it was allowed to be published in the first place.

Can you even imagine the outrage the U.S. students would bring about if a chinese national journal published a cartoon of them blasting the U.S. with a batch of nukes? Or how about if that journal published a Red soldier(as in a communist soldier) stomping over Jesus and his cross, ripping the bible apart with bullets?

PS: I'm a protestan korean living in korea, but I have muslim friends and can't help but feel insulted at your biased and polluted view of muslims

This led to protests across the Muslim world, some of which escalated into violence with police firing on the crowds (resulting in more than 100 deaths, all together),[1] including setting fire to the Danish Embassies in Syria, Lebanon and Iran, storming European buildings, and desecrating the Danish, Dutch, Norwegian and German flags in Gaza City. While a number of Muslim leaders called for protesters to remain peaceful, other Muslim leaders across the globe, including Mahmoud al-Zahar of Hamas, issued death threats.[2][3] Various groups, primarily in the Western world, responded by endorsing the Danish policies, including "Buy Danish" campaigns and other displays of support. Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen described the controversy as Denmark's worst international crisis since World War II.[4]

So.. yeah.

I don't know where you got that I have a polluted view of Muslims? I've only that the cartoons created a ridiculous outrage in the Muslim world. That does not mean every Muslim, not even a majority of Muslims. What is wrong with what I said, it's a simple fact.

I know all about the outrage. Im talking about the scale of it. Even if shit was burned like I said thats a drop in the bucket of the population. You wouldnt criticize the entire US based on the actions of KKK or the people who bomb abortion clinics.

Don't we get enough history about the west throughout the 12 years of school before college? Everyone else gets like 2 weeks. Heck if were talking about the US, everyone else in the world has more education on their history than any other culture besides themselves.

Just to put this out there; the Islam the West knows isn't the Islam practiced in Africa, Asia minor and the Middle East. To resign myself to title of 'bigot,' the phrase 'Muslim extremist' is a misnomer. Literal belief in the Qur'an necessitates this sort of extremism, it's inherent in Islam; not so much the Qur'an as the Hadith (non-literal belief in the Qur'an necessitates apostasy). If these students hail from the Middle East, Africa or Asia minor, then the attitude they've brought over towards the West isn't one of friendliness. If they are true to the teachings of the Qur'an, that extremist attitude will eventually manifest. Consider the fact that they are protesting cartoons, some of which are known to be fraudulent -- they don't have a right to not be offended.

I'm not saying these students are like this. What I am saying, though, is that the West doesn't understand Islam.

I also have no interest in arguing the point with someone who isn't Islamic.
