Will the safe spaces never end?
I wrote about the case of Dr. Jason Hill last month.
Dr. Jason Hill is a gay Jamaican immigrant who teaches philosophy and lectures about civil rights. But after defending Israel, DePaul student organizations, including Students for Justice in Palestine, a notorious anti-Semitic nationwide hate group whose members have praised Hitler and called for another Holocaust, United Muslims Moving Ahead (UMMA), an Islamist campus group, which invited a Muslim cleric who rationalized the murder of gay people, DePaul Socialists, and College Democrats, are demanding that a black gay professor undergo “racial sensitivity training”.
The coalition of Hispanic frat boys, socialists and Islamists claimed that Dr. Hill’s defense of Israel and condemnation of Islamic anti-Semitism created “unsafe and uncomfortable spaces for everyone, especially Palestinian and Muslim students.”
Meanwhile UMMA featured a lecture by Shaykh Abdullah bin Hamid Ali who had written in ‘The Homosexual Challenge to Muslim Ethics’ that, “Religions, like Islam, have attempted to outlaw the practice by prescribing punishments like, flogging and stoning, for people who either confess to or are caught committing acts of sodomy”, but that, “Attitudes have changed very much today in both the West and the East perhaps due to neocolonial hegemonic pressures.”
In another essay, the Zaytuna cleric defended the Islamic institution of slavery.
DePaul Socialists and the College Democrats don’t believe that UMMA inviting a cleric from Zaytuna College, a notorious hub of Islamist hatred, who implied that if it weren’t for “neocolonial hegemonic pressures”, gay people could still be safely killed in Muslim countries, is a safe space issue.
The Federalist follows up with more fake victimhood by campus crybullies.
“I don’t feel safe as a Muslim student knowing that someone like this is on our campus,” Hadyia Afzal said. “It’s ridiculous that my tuition is going to the salary of an Islamophobe, of a transphobe, of a very sexist man.”
How does Dr. Hill make Afzal feel unsafe?
Does she believe that the respected academic will physically assault her? Or does any opposition to Jihad make her feel unsafe?
Does a gay men opposing Sharia, which calls for his death, make her feel unsafe?

There’s a certain “reliance in travell” to Israel.
Being in Israel many times each year, I’m glad the Israeli authorities profile travellers.
Saves a lot of grief and time in transport. And the gatekeepers are sometimes cute.
Love the nonchalant young gals with cosmetic compacts and long black guns.
Shalom, y’all.

The whole point of learning is to stretch our minds.
The whole point of college is to explore unsafe areas of discomfort, in order to grow.
The whole point of growth is to develop oneself into a capable human being.

LOL, not in any colleges in the US. You cannot engage in free speech without being called racist and shouted down by the indoctrinated “liberals and progressives”
The campuses should be as you have stated but they simply are not.
duh swami says
Jews, sometimes known as Joos, are the enemies of Allah and all Muslims…The Quran says so…Israel is full of the Joo enemy, so anyone who supports Israel is also an enemy…
Being gay is icing on the hate cake…
Or Else! says
Exactly what we’d expect from followers of a supremacist, totalitarian, civilizational ideology. Never happy until EVERYTHING is their way.
Amazing how the need for votes/power has put the Left in bed with the enemy. Look at the nonsense they’re still doing with the Mueller thing.
What have the Dems done for the past 3 years other than perpetuate a soft coup against Trump? They’re still at it. Lies, hoaxes, bogus calls of racism, white supremacy……and Islam LOVES it. It slides right in.

Does “Brian hoff”–really, “DefenderofIslam”–have a problem with the violent Jihad of his coreligionists? Of course not. He has said that he wants to impose brutal Shari’ah on us–and he is here hoping to distract from that.

Awwwwwww, diddums, someone got their feelings hurt. FFS, grow a pair. Muslim contribution in terms of Nobel Laureates in the Sciences:- 2point 5. From 1.5BILLION of them. From the Jewish Communities:- think it’s up around 150, from a world population of no more than 14-15MILLION. That’s around 100 times more, when you take in the discrepancy in population size.
Jan Rae says
Very good point. Kinda speaks to the level of intelligence. Only educate them enough to pay their taxes, drive their taxis and find their way to Mosque!

Regarding this post’s line; “fake victimhood by campus crybullies”.
This is not new or ironic. It what bullies do and what the Left has done since the French Revolution.
Bullies frequently claim some sort of offense as they shake down and then assault their target. “You looked at me funny….you bumped into me…”
The French Revolution had the ‘Committee for Public Safety” which is a forerunner of the “Campus Safe Spaces” of today. The “need” for “safe spaces” is the justification for violently assaulting anyone who disagrees with the Left.

In order to make Muslims feel unsafe, something would have to be more bloodcurdlingly-terrifying than the things they promote:
cutting off a young girl’s clitoris
parents murdering their daughters
husbands beating their wives
gang-raping women and girls
stoning women to death
chopping off the hand and foot of a thief
throwing gay people off from a high place
crucifying mischief-makers
beheading apostates
you know, that sort of thing…
What could possibly be more bloodcurdlingly-terrifying to Muslims than these? Let’s think about this carefully:
UNSAFE
an empty church, synagogue or temple that they have to walk past
a non-Muslim butchery in the same city
the idea of a pig
the sight of a bacon sandwich nearby
the idea of Israel
oh, and gays
NERVOUS
a church, synagogue or temple in use
a non-Muslim butchery in the same neighbourhood
an image of a pig
the smell of a bacon sandwich nearby
a picture of Israel
oh, and gay professors
AFRAID
a church, synagogue or temple into which the congregation is entering
a non-Muslim butchery on the same block
a figurine of a pig
the sight of a bacon sandwich being eaten nearby
Israelis
oh, and gay anti-jihad professors
TERRIFIED
a church, synagogue or temple in which can be heard the sound of worship
a non-Muslim butchery in the same street
a sculpture of a pig
the sight and smell of a bacon sandwich being enjoyed nearby
friendly Israelis
oh, and gay anti-jihad, pro-Israel professors
BLOODCURDLINGLY TERRIFIED
a church, synagogue or temple from which the congregation is emerging
a non-Muslim butchery in the same next-door
a dead pig
the sight and smell of a bacon sandwich being enjoyed by someone next to you
friendly Israelis coming your way
oh, and gay anti-jihad, pro-Israel, anti-semitism-condemning professors
MORE THAN BLOODCURDLINGLY TERRIFIED
a church, synagogue or temple from which the congregation is emerging and smiling at you
a non-Muslim butchery in the same next-door offering you a gift on Eid
a live pig
the sight and smell of a bacon sandwich being enjoyed by someone next to you and you’re hungry
friendly Israelis coming your way and offering to shake your hand
oh, and gay anti-jihad, pro-Israel, anti-semitism-condemning professors who look rather dishy
Please, we can all make the effort to show some sensitivity, no? Let’s all try to stick to the things Muslims promote and everywhere will be a safe space. Just ask Imran Khan.

Annuli Pandavar,
that is the funniest yet most poignant & well put example of the absurdity that is the most contagious & dangerous personality disorder on Earth: Islam !
keith says
I reckon the only way to stop this crap is to start throwing it back in their faces.
Put in complaints that having towel head teachers, social groups, anything related to Islam makes the students feel “unsafe”.
Then we will see how the left tries to get around that!
CRUSADER says
Where is “Palestine” anyway?
Would it be perhaps in Gaza?

Gay Jamaican Pro-Israel Prof Makes Muslim Student Feel “Unsafe”
……………
Uh…right. This professor is gay and hasn’t been thrown off a tall building, and he doesn’t want to see Israel “wiped off the map”. No wonder this Muslim student “feels unsafe”…sarc/off
Evelyn Hall says
If anyone should feel unsafe, it is the very brave Dr Hill.
This seems like yet another tactic to render invisible or to remove intellectuals from the public education sector who might influence their students to see the world outside a suffocating, paranoid,self-confining, intolerant and prejudiced mindset. That is part of Dr Hill’s job – to challenge his students to think outside their comfort zones.
This is something that has entirely escaped the Complainant.

And so once again, the poor Muslim is the victim. Oh how sad.
Leslie Fish says
I have an idea. Collect all the Gay students on campus and have them complain to the administration that all the Muslims on campus make *them* feel “unsafe”.
nosmo king says
DePaul is Catholic University. If Muslims don’t feel safe there they should go somewhere else.
