#1 From the article: "presenting students with propaganda (the film 'Obsession') that defines terrorism in such limited terms cannot promote anything resembling true understanding."

From the news: "Marines from Golf Company said they recently fished two bodies out of the local river: a man had been decapitated, and his 4-year old tied to his leg before both were thrown into the river and the little boy drowned. The killings were a product of Al Qaeda terror "

I understand. At least some MTSU students do not.

#3 I used to feel some sympathy for the Muslims who died at Srebrenica. Not anymore. I'm much more understanding about why the Serbs did what they did. Muslims bring this on themselves and I wouldn't blame any country on earth for standing up tomorrow and saying "Muzzies out now. We've had enough of your murderous criminality."

#4 Mac,

You're not alone. Once upon a time, a long time ago, I believed Srebrenica was an atrocity. Today I question if Srebrenica happened in the way we've been told. And even if it did, so what? We were on the wrong side of the war supporting muslims against the Christians. Period. End of discussion.

#5 I remain extremely curious as to just how it is that we are supposed to tolerate the world's most intolerant religion (if it even is a religion, which it isn't). This sort of nonsense is what continues to pollute thought processes in the West and thereby enable Islam's slow jihad.

To paraphrase .com's supreme question about Islam (i.e., What redeeming features does Islam have to offer?):

What in Hell are we supoposed to "tolerate" about Islam?

Terrorism? Abject gender apartheid? No freedom of religion? No freedom of speech? Capital punishment for misdemeanor offenses?

Islam is intolerable. End of story.

#6 If any Rantburger in greater Chicagoland is interested, there's a "talk" at Community Presby Church in Clarendon Hills by Dr. Ronald Miller of Lake Forest College about The Children of Abraham, The Shared Legacy of Three Major Religions on Friday April 13 and Sat 4/14.

I'm going, I looked him up. I have to do a lot of reading between now and then.

He wants "peace" so bad it hurts, me thinks.

#8 Just in, MTSU Editorial Board: Islam isn't Christianity so we don't have any problems with it. By the way 9-11 never happened.
