This was a ridiculous suit to begin with, aimed at bringing Sharia blasphemy laws forbidding criticism of Islam into U.S. law, and so it’s good that Hamas-linked CAIR lost its appeal. However, the protracted suit likely accomplished at least one of its intended purposes: intimidating into silence any academics who might be considering saying something […]
Arizona community college must pay $155,000 to prof it forced to apologize for criticizing Islam
A slight pause on American academia’s out-of-control-freight-train rush to submit to Sharia.

After all, as a campaign of intimidation, it has already served a great […]

Professor Damask’s troubles began during the current Spring semester, when a student […]
