One prime example of twisted conservative logic. Common sense and consideration at Yale, is turned by a conservative into a perverted attempt to attack liberals. From the mouth of this thick as a brick (at least here) conservative, a sensible expression of empathy and consideration by Liberals is turned to an silly accusation of cowardice on the part of Liberals. Talk about clutching at straws! .. lolol .. the last line .. I guess Christianity isn’t so scary after all .. is factually true in itself, but in context of the dishonest and ignorant dumb conservative attack on Islam it can only be a source a amusement for us.
YUP .. We must be contented to amuse, when we cannot inform.
Islamic Cartoons – No Laughing Matter at Yale Wednesday, September 9, 2009 By Emily Geiger
It’s funny how liberals are fearless bullies when their picking on certain people like Christians or conservatives, but they’re a bunch of cowards when it comes to other groups… like Muslims.
Yale University Press has decided to take the coward’s way out in its recent decision to publish a book about some Danish cartoons depicting the Islamic prophet Mohamed without actually re-publishing the cartoons themselves as the author of the book had intended.
Apparently Yale University officials fear that the re-publication of these cartoons are likely to incite violence from some in the Muslim community. These officials came to this conclusion after consultation with “counterterrorism officials, Muslim diplomats, the top Muslim official at the United Nations and other mostly unidentified experts in making its decision.”
Yale officials said, “The decision [to not publish the cartoons] rested solely on the experts’ assessment that there existed a substantial likelihood of violence that might take the lives of innocent victims.”
Wait a minute… I though Islam was a peaceful religion? I thought that anyone who did anything to insinuate that Islam wasn’t a peaceful religion was engaging in stereotyping and bigotry.
So, which is it? Is Islam a peaceful religion? Or, do we have to engage in censorship so as not to get ourselves blown up for upsetting Islamic people?
You know, it’s funny how often Christianity is vilified and portrayed as a major reason for violence in this world, and yet, that doesn’t seem to stop any museums or art galleries from displaying things like crucifixes in bottles of urine or dung smeared on a portrait of Jesus.
GEIGER, Emily, Revolutionary heroine, born about 1760. At the period when General Greene retreated before Lord Rawdon from Ninety-Six, South Carolina. during the Revolutionary war, and had passed Broad River, he was anxious to send an order to General Sumter, who was then encamped on the Wateree, to join him and attack Rawdon, who had divided his forces. But no one could be found willing to run the risk of traversing a section of country that was infested by revengeful Tories. At length a young girl, Emily Geiger by name, offered her services, greatly to the surprise of the American officer, who at once accepted them. He accordingly wrote a letter, which he gave to the girl, but at the same time informed her of its contents, that she might be able to deliver the rues-sage orally in case of accident. Emily set out on horseback, and met with no adventures until the second day, when she was intercepted by Lord Rawdon's scouts. Not being skilled in the art of telling falsehoods, she was suspected and placed in confinement, and an old Tory matron was sent for, that she might be searched. Emily utilized the interval by eating the letter, and, nothing suspicious being afterward found on her, she was allowed to proceed. By taking a circuitous route, she succeeded in reaching her destination and discharging her mission. In consequence, Sumter soon joined the main army at Orangeburg. Emily Geiger married a wealthy planter named Threrwits, who lived on the Congaree River, South Carolina. .. continued .. http://www.famousamericans.net/emilygeiger/
The author may be trying to be some sort of heroine. To live up to an idol of hers. In one way, to be somebody else.
