Bump.

The Muslims did not wish to share with others

Who would have thought that.

HA! Gee, are these the "peoples of the book" that islam means no harm to.

"Given such pressures, who knows what passions might be found beneath the burkas and veils of Muslim women, not just in the West but across the Middle East? There may be a ferocious pent-up yearning for freedom."

Forget it. If Muslim women wanted to be free from that devil-worship, they would renounce it.

How's that? Their fellow Muslims would murder them if they did?

Of course they would. But some women, in the safety of the West, would renounce the Satanic cult of Islam--if they wanted to.

Muslim women are just as committed to Islam as Muslim men are.

The med school administrators acted cannily and they were ultimately successful. First, they gathered up the intel and found that the veil stunt was really coerced upon the women. Then they cast the mosque ploy in terms which put the Islamists in a position of having to sit on the potty or use it. Basically, they closed with Mr. Jihad Wannabee and found that he was just a man like any other, and a little more stupid than most.

The liberals are overawed by the Jihad mystique: the knitted brows, the towel suit, the spittle-flecked lips. Liberals are looking for something to believe in. As G. K. Chesterton so ruefully observed, an atheist is not a man who believes in nothing, but a man who will believe in anything. And liberals go from pillar to post, Castro, Kim Il Sung, Khomeini, and now Bin Laden, snuffling from one set of smelly feet to the other.

But the enemy once seen at close quarters, suddenly becomes less worthy of idealization. Reality cures liberalism, which is such a pleasant disease.

When it's a choice between their religion and money ---like the money they hope to make being a doctor, a Muslim will choose the money every time. They aren't even supposed to be in infidel countries according to the Koran but they'll do it for money.

It's not such a good idea to have Moslem students in medical schools while this war is on. Have these guys ever heard of biological warfare?

This is interesting. I was watching some documentary earlier this week on the Mossad, and it had some footage of the Palestinians, from the early Intifada. Guess what - all the 1970s-vintage Palestinians were dressed in contemporary (for the day) Western clothes, complete with the sideburns & big hair.

Fast forward to modern footage from recent street conflicts. It looks like everyone is from the 8th century - the "full towel" effect. It's like their deliberate adoption of archaic dress IS the political statement.

Something they don't mention is that its fairly evident that many of the Taliban spewing forth Arabic diatribes are the European-educated sons of businessmen who drink heavily of our Coca-Cola and languish in the comfort of our consumer society, attending the London School of Economics where they mix their Mohammed with their Marx. Not suprised they're in the med schools too.

Darymple is a genius. He has been talking about this under-class of desperately poor, radicalized Asians that exists in Britain's blighted inner-cities for decades now; long before anyone else had any clue as to what was going on. He has been telling us that 9/11 is the inevitable result of the Welfare State. He is a true visionary in this regard.

The dean answered, yes, they could have a prayer room, provided that they shared it with students of other faiths, such as Christians and Jews

Good answer. Some other universities and colleges should take note!
