…Dhimmi U. acts against the formerly untouchable Muslim Student Union. For years, the MSU has freely romped all over that campus, engaging in recreational disruption and threats against non-Muslims, especially Jews. But it seems that even the granola gobbling multi-cultists running the University of California-Irvine have had enough now.
In making the suspension recommendation, Lisa Cornish, UC Irvine’s director of student housing, found that the Muslim Student Union had “planned, orchestrated and coordinated in advance” an effort to disrupt a speech by Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren on Feb. 8 about U.S.-Israeli relations. The recommendation was made in late May but not made public at that time.
Oren was shouted down repeatedly by Muslim students who stood up and delivered statements such as “Michael Oren, propagating murder is not an expression of free speech.” Supporters cheered as the students were escorted away by police, and each time Oren attempted to resume his speech, another student jumped up with another outburst.
Eleven UC Irvine and UC Riverside students were arrested and cited for disturbing a public event, but none have been criminally charged. The Muslim Student Union claimed the disruptions were caused by individuals and were not organized by their group.
Backstory:
Isaac Yerushalmi, former president of Anteaters for Israel, which sponsored Oren’s appearance in February, said the Muslim Student Union has been “involved in repeated attempts to silence Jewish voices on campus.”
And irony fail:
[Reem Salahi, the students' attorney] said she worried the recommendation could jeopardize Muslim life on campus. Victor Sanchez, president of the systemwide UC Student Assn., said he was outraged. “It’s almost impossible not to interpret this as a means of the university to silence dissent,” he said.
Remember, class: The West “invades”. Islam “spreads”. Many if not most Muslim immigrants come here for a better life, and to get away from both the government oppression and the fundamentalist crazies that bedevil their homelands. It’s not so different a story from that of innumerable earlier waves of immigration. I have never had a negative encounter with a Muslim, and will not be surprised if I never do. But their children? The tenured radicals are teaching the Muslim kids to despise America and her works, same as they’re teaching our children. But in the Muslim case, there’s an alternative to the standard leftist bullet points the faculty pushes. There’s the dream of a resurgent caliphate and sharia law, imposed on believer and infidel alike. The wreckage wrought by the Destructive Generation can often be repaired merely by prolonged exposure to the real world, enough 1040s under one’s belt, and reconnection with one’s American roots. But when The West Is Evil And Must Be Smashed is proclaimed by your college education and your ancestral faith, then hmmm…???
So it’s good to hear that the people nominally in charge of UC-Irvine are not totally supine, not completely in a sensitivity coma (in Mark Steyn’s excellent phrase.) Harrumphs of approval here and here and of course here.
Thus far, and no farther.

Good evening, cynn. Please be aware that Islam is not a race.
Comment by cynn on 6/15 @ 8:35 pm #
I realize that Islam is not a race. It’s more a speed trial.

America and her works have become pretty damn despicable of late.

There are other people in the country–and our history–than politicians, entertainers and criminals, ‘feets. I daresay your little corner of the land would be the poorer without you, in fact.

IslamISM is an ideology as opposed to Christianity or Judaism which are religions.
Leftists make common cause with Islamists because both despise Western Civilization and want to get rid of Jews and Christians.

Yes I agree Americans and the people and this place we call ours are wonderful wonderful and I would love to be out among them more but they are not practiced subversives.
They will have to be taught.

You may not be interested in Islam, ‘feet, but Islam is interested in you.
As long as you have more women and money to be robbed of, that is. After that, you can be beaten to death by the mob, and the mullahs won’t give a Soros.

Does cynn approve of what the MSU has done, and therefore finds any disapproval of it “ractist”?
Comment by Squid on 6/16 @ 7:25 am #
You ever hear of beer goggles? The kind that let you see pretty girls everywhere? Well, cynn has box wine goggles, and they make cynn see racists everywhere. It’s not a matter of approval or disapproval; it’s just the way what’s left of cynn’s brain handles the chemicals in the box wine.
