We'll see more of this. The Muzzies hate feminism, homosexuality, atheism, and general promiscuity -- all deeply-held tenets of the Leftist Faith.

Whew, the New York Times editorial board is going to be in a quandary about this story. Should they spin it as an ugly American attacking islamic values ('the enemy of my enemy is my friend' principle)? Or should they spin it as a 'transgendered' individual being offended and then attacked by street toughs of indeterminate ideology (the 'gay is good, no matter what' principle)?

Decisions, decisions, decisions.

One of my buddies who is a teacher was at some kind of workshop last year.

Another teacher from a school in california told him that her school had had some kind of "celebrate diversity"/"tolerance day" and had several muslims students give speeches.

She said it all seemed to go so well in confronting american racism against muslims until the gay speakers came up and the muslim students started cursing at them and threatening them....almost inciting a riot.

I did remember reading a blurb on it too, I'm not sure if it was the same school but to be honest with you, I was cracking up when he told me the story.

She also told that despite all their "hard work for tolerance" in that school, there were problems with all, from hispanics and african americans, to gays and muslims, from feminists (both lesbian and non lesbian) with male homosexuals, etc.

Blaming whitey only goes so far.

The NY Times would never run this story.

The NY Times has an unofficial policy of not putting anything that would make gays look bad.

That said, she is a conservative, so they would naturally take the side of the muslims, if they could leave out the lesbian orientation part, then they might run it.

I doubt it though, even the former ombudsman said they cheerlead for gays, so this story would get spiked.

Thanks...you made my case about the quandary! As you'll note, I didn't mention what the outcome might be. (grin)

At one point in the exchange, she told the dozen or so bearded young men who make up the group that the prophet Muhammad was a pedophile.

Agree. At some point the Left will need to choose between supporting Muslims and their traditional base (gays, Jews, etc). I strongly suspect that will break in favor of the Muslims sometime after 2020 to their sheer numbers.

But the rise of gay bashing on European streets has pushed the question of tolerance a step further and led some to question their reflexive defense of a put-upon minority.

The elephant in the room's a bit too big to ignore.

The Islamic Thinkers Society

Anyone else find this group's name an oxymoron?

A "lesbian conservative"? There is no such thing, as much as the media would like us to believe.

Once it's been made clear to any and every group that their identities are sacrosanct and deserving of protection from 'offense' of any sort, the door is opened to the politics of hurt feelings. And in the mêlée that inevitably ensues, the intolerant will always have the advantage, because they don't care one whit about the feelings of any of the other groups.

Excellent story. This should be publicized widely by Limbaugh, Hannity, Hewitt, and everyone else.
