The story begins at Michigan State University with a mechanical engineering professor named Indrek Wichman.



Wichman sent an e-mail to the Muslim Student's Association.

The e-mail was in response to the students' protest of the Danish cartoon that portrayed the Prophet Muhammad as a terrorist. The group had complained the cartoons were 'hate speech'

Enter Professor Wichman. In his e-mail, he said the following:

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 of my colleagues.

I counsel you dissatisfied, aggressive, brutal, and uncivilized slave-trading Moslems to be very aware of this as you proceed 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.

Cordially,

I. S. Wichman

Professor of Mechanical Engineering




As you can imagine, the Muslim group at the university didn't like this too well.

They're demanding that Wichman be reprimanded and the university impose mandatory diversity training for faculty and mandate a seminar on hate and discrimination for all freshmen.

Now the local chapter of CAIR has jumped into the fray. CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, apparently doesn't believe that the good professor had the right to express his opinion.

For its part, the university is standing its ground in support of Professor Wichman, saying the e-mail was private, and they don't intend to publicly condemn his remarks.
 
Isn't there something in our constitution allowing free speech? Isn't it right there near the Right to Keep and Bear arms?

I guess none of that matters though.

True DrDavid. Lots of good things in our constitution. To bad many Americans do not read it or understand it..

Unfortunately many colleges do not recognize our Constitution or Bill of Rights, some are worse than others, they get around this by being in the private sector, just as many business and places of employment will censor you in your job, and legaly get away with it.

Thats true but I would load the school with email if it went again the prof. We have to stand in the gap and when we fall our kids should fill in.
 
so it's ok for people to come into our country.. take God out of it when the country was clearly built around God.. but it's not ok to say if you don't like our country... go home? seems to me that immigrants get more rights than those who were born here...
