So, the accusers admit that ISIS is, in fact, true Islam, and the accusers support the terror agenda of ISIS?

“claiming that his decision to mock ISIS made Muslim students feel uncomfortable”

I thought ISIS did not represent Islam. I guess it doesn’t,.......until it does.

““Mocking Isis allegedly made Islamic and minority students feel ‘threatened’ and ‘unsafe,’”

How a person feels is subjective-——how on earth could they condemn this student for his opinion?

Any one could say anything makes them feel unsafe. Where does it end?

Utter nonsense.

Islam is a war plan. And the cowardly “Great” Britain capitulates.

What total PC depravity. Gives the LIE to the claims that jihad terrorists “don’t represent Islam” etc. How can Muslim students ever be “threatened” by mockery toward ISIS terrorists if they claim ISIS has nothing to do with them?

Tacitly admitting that ISIS is indeed Islamic.

Look, Islam teaches people to be easily offended by any criticism of Mohammad or his teachings. Also many of Mohammad's teachings are monumentally stupid. A place of higher learning should not be a place where students which such sensibilities are allowed to outlaw truth.

Most people would be stunned how successfully Muslim savages have infiltrated every aspect of Scottish society, government and culture.

Here's someone who really makes certain Muslims--ISIS--run for a safe space.
