Last week I was asked to lend my aging mug and highly attuned smart mouth for a documentary film regarding how the “religion of peace”—via political correctness in the public school system—is anesthetizing our kids to Islam’s malevolence toward all things American.
Like a good trooper I acquiesced (to the producer’s delight) and gave my best shot at trying to wake dull parents up to the fact that their dense kids are getting a steady diet of “Christianity, Judaism and America suck” and “Islam is awesome” from their local Marxist schoolmarm on a Monday through Friday basis. The director says there’s already a pre-Oscar buzz surrounding my performance. I am beautiful. Christina Aquavelva said so.
Anyway, no sooner did that week end than a new week began with a fresh ladle of Muslim petulance tossed in America’s face. It seems that an investigation has been sparked by Muslim “outrage” against a Catholic university (called Catholic University) for being, well, Catholic. Evidently Muslim students feel their human rights have been violated by not getting special digs on campus, minus Catholic imagery, to do their daily prayers on college grounds.
Let’s see, what can I compare this situation to? Hmmm. Dig deep, Doug, dig deep. Channel your inner Dennis Miller. I’ve got it! That’s like going to Hooters and being offended at all the bodacious hooters bouncing about. People don’t go to Hooters for their chicken wings; it’s called Hooters. Hoot-ers. Hooters. Geez, people. What the heck did you expect, students? It’s called Catholic University for a reason.
Human rights violated? That’s rich. Yes, let’s talk about human rights violations with Islam, shall we? How many Christians were killed in Egypt this week?
In the latest installment of how Islam is enacting their not-so-stealthy-any-longer jihad on America via our schools, Muslims are now taking on Catholic University for their Catholic art and imagery that insults delicate Muslim sensibilities.
This is nonsense. It’s another test to see how far we’ll bend over and take it like Europe has (to their own demise). It will not end with this one college, I guarantee. Who’s next? I’m thinkin’ Notre Dame.
Look, I’m not a Catholic and don’t work for good old CU, but if I did I’d be ticked and would stand my Catholic ground. I’d start swinging incense pots like a ninja warrior working a pair of nunchucks at any group trying to eradicate our cherished traditions and vision for our established university.
Here’s a thought: If you, as a Muslim, don’t like Catholic stuff, you might not want to go to Catholic University. Similarly, when I was seeking out an institution at which to do my grad work I immediately scratched Rosie O’Donnell University off my list.
Why? Well, I didn’t care to look at the paintings of her and her bulbous neck scattered about the campus, nor did I want to pay money to hear her bogus thoughts regarding how the world should tick peddled in the classroom.
This common sense approach to school selection makes me highly suspicious of this special treatment Muslims are demanding in our institutions and what their charges are really—really—all about. Stand your ground, Catholic U.
Why would anybody attend a Catholic University (or one of any other religion) and not expect to be schooled in that particular religion? To expect--or demand--otherwise is ridiculous.
And for officials of a Catholic University to do otherwise--or to want to do otherwise--is equally ridiculous.
I am fed up with the absurdities of the decadence of Western Civilization—and their proponents.
Ah yes....tax dollars. Last week, the private school in which I taught was celebrating the Pennsylvania Senate’s passage of the school choice/voucher bill. Considering what the food Nazis did to the wellness program, I would have very serious concerns about what would be mandated for curriculum. As a teacher, I was told not to use candy as a reward. I basically said “screw it..my classroom/my way” The hoops the school jumped through to accomodate the the Food Nazis was ridiculous but they wanted the dollars for the kids whose parents were struggling. Imagine what vouchers in the hands of a liberal governor/house/senate would do.
Hillsdale college is a model of educational freedom because they don’t have the federal puppet strings.
If muslims had the same complaint at Hillsdale, I’m sure they would get a fair shake but would be reminded that they aren’t prisoners and are free to take their money elsewhere.
That Catholic University had Catholic imagery.
Grove City may be the same way..?? Anyway, they are free to start “Muslim University” but I guess it wouldn’t be as much fun as it is to whine and cry and use our own political correctness against us. I hope CU tells them to go pound bacon grease.
Georgetown was already forced to accomodate a Gay Student Union. He will win his case, because of this precedent: This applies only if Catholic has accepted the same level of government funding that Georgetown accepted. If not, Banzhaf has no case. Why no one in the media has answered this simple question makes me think they want this story to drag out as long as possible.
Catholic has already accommodated a Jewish student organization: This is irrelevant, because Christianity encompasses Judaism. Christ was a Jew. Islam directly contradicts Christianity, the same way a "Swingers" club would.
Muslim students are incapable of worshiping in an environment that contains Christian imagery: This is incorrect, as Muslims do so every day in Western society. Especially in Europe and Latin America, which is most likely why Banzhaf has no Muslim students on his side.
Muslim Groups are welcomed in every other Catholic school of higher learning: This is demonstrably false.
On the other hand, Conservative pundits actually hurt their argument when they start talking about the policies of Muslim countries, which clearly have nothing to do with this case.
No, screw the professor who filed the lawsuit. The Muslims at the school have no problems with it
Just following the instructions in their holy books. Nothing to see. Move on.
The Koran:
Sura (2:191-193) - "And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution of Muslims is worse than slaughter of non-believers...and fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for Allah."
Sura (4:74) - "Let those fight in the way of Allah who sell the life of this world for the other. Whoso fighteth in the way of Allah, be he slain or be he victorious, on him We shall bestow a vast reward."
Sura (4:76) - "Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah…"
Sura (5:33) - "The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement"
Sura (8:12) - "I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them"
Sura (8:39) - "And fight with them until there is no more persecution and religion should be only for Allah"
Sura (8:57) - "If thou comest on them in the war, deal with them so as to strike fear in those who are behind them, that haply they may remember."
Sura (9:14) - "Fight them, Allah will punish them by your hands and bring them to disgrace..."
Sura (9:29) - "Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, even if they are of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued."
Sura (9:30) - "And the Jews say: Ezra is the son of Allah; and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; may Allah destroy them; how they are turned away!"
Sura (9:123) - "O you who believe! fight those of the unbelievers who are near to you and let them find in you hardness."
Sura (47:4) - "So when you meet in battle those who disbelieve, then smite the necks until when you have overcome them, then make them prisoners,"
Sura (61:4) - "Surely Allah loves those who fight in His way"
Sura (66:9) - "O Prophet! Strive against the disbelievers and the hypocrites, and be stern with them. Hell will be their home, a hapless journey's end
From the Hadith:
Muslim (1:33) - the Messenger of Allah said: I have been commanded to fight against people till they testify that there is no god but Allah, that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah
Bukhari (8:387) - Allah's Apostle said, “I have been ordered to fight the people till they say: 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah’”
Tabari 7:97 The morning after the murder of Ashraf, the Prophet declared, "Kill any Jew who falls under your power."
Ibn Ishaq: 327 - “Allah said, ‘A prophet must slaughter before collecting captives. A slaughtered enemy is driven from the land. Muhammad, you craved the desires of this world, its goods and the ransom captives would bring. But Allah desires killing them to manifest the religion.’”
Ibn Ishaq: 992 - "Fight everyone in the way of Allah and kill those who disbelieve in Allah."
The Koran and hadiths are replete with examples of Muhammad's barbaric behavior. Robert Spencer does a good job here explaining Islam - Blogging the Qur’an Start at the bottom.
It is not that a university takes taxpayer dollars because it is the student who takes the dollars. The school assists the student in obtaining the grants, etc but they normally do not take them directly. Now, research grants, etc are another matter.
I did several searches, but I could not find anything that the university receives any government funding
I understand and appreciate the Catholic Church’s wish to prostheletyze other faiths to theirs. I just hope it doesn’t go the other way and or get any converted FORMER muzloids beheaded for leaving islam. It’s what they do, ya know.

Why do appreciate the Catholic Church’s desire to push the faith into other people’s faces? As a Jew I’d be infuriated and perhaps not very nice. Who are they to try to convert others,especially Jews?

Banzhaff is only using the tools he perfected with the second hand smoke ban scams. For my fellow FReepers (not necessarily you Kaslin) that celebrated such bans, how does it feel to get gored by that ox? Yes, I consider Banshaff to be an ox.....
His arguments on FNS amounted to nothing more than, “just give them a little space, just give them a little space..”
Sound familiar? Well, now the Righteous Right can expect to become his new target and the good lefty marxist media will not hesitate to slaughter the right to homeschool, freely associate, etc.....You asked for it, now ya got it.
You can’t say you weren’t warned!
As a Jew, you’d damn well be on your knees every night praying that the Catholics prevail. If you understand islam — and it sounds like you don’t have a clue — you’d know that you will be at the top of their “HIT LIST.”
