Good day all. The Precious Snowflakes are at it again. This pack of narcissistic nincompoops are now saying that remembering the 9/11 attacks by Islamic terrorists is offensive to Muslims.
Most of these blithering idiots are to young to remember what happened that day. At most, they would have been about 5 years old. It’s pretty obvious that they stopped maturing at that point, at least mentally. Now they are worried that remembering the most devastating attack on American soil since Pearl Harbor might make a Muslim feel uncomfortable. Here are the details from the Daily Beast:
The everything-is-offensive brand of campus activism has struck a new low: Students at the University of Minnesota killed a proposed moment of silence for 9/11 victims due to concerns—insulting, childish concerns—that Muslim students would be offended.
Has it truly come to this? Is feelings-protection now such an overriding goal that completely unreasonable fears win out, even if they have no basis in reality?
The short answer is Yes I’m afraid.
Can we not even have a single moment to recognize legitimate victims of terrorism without worrying that someone will feel marginalized on campus?
Nope, we can’t. If it makes someone uncomfortable, then it’s bad and MUST be suppressed.
Theo Menon, a Minnesota Student Association representative and member of the College Republicans, realized that the university wasn’t doing anything to memorialize 9/11; on Oct. 6, he introduced an MSA proposal to do just that. The very short resolution asked the university to institute a “moment of recognition” during the mornings of all future September 11ths.
I followed the link to the “Very Short Resolution.” I’m republishing it here:
Minnesota Student Association
Resolution
Created 10/06/2015
Author: Collage Republicans MSA Student Group
Representative Theo Menon
Concerning: September 11th , 2001 Memorial Moment of Recognition
Whereas, The tragic events of September 11th, 2001 still have a lasting effect on many students and staff,
Whereas, The events of that date are of immeasurable importance to the world we live in today,
Whereas, There is currently no official recognition of this events on the University of Minnesota – Twin Cities Campus,
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, That the Minnesota Student Association formally recommends to the University of Minnesota Administration that there be a moment of recognition on the morning of September 11th, 2016 and all years following.
There you have it. A simple, straightforward request to have a moment of some sort to remember the nearly 3000 men, women and children slaughtered by Al Qaeda. You would think it would be a no brainer. You would think incorrectly. According to The Minnesota Republic:
At-large MSA representative and Director of Diversity and Inclusion David Algadi voiced severe criticism of the resolution. He also made sure to emphasize 9/11’s status as a national tragedy in his response. “The passing of this resolution might make a space that is unsafe for students on campus even more unsafe,” said Algadi. “Islamophobia and racism fueled through that are alive and well.”
In doing a little research, I found that this jerk has a LinkedIn page. LinkedIn is a social media site for business contacts. It’s not unusual for students to start listing their accomplishments while still in school. Algadi doesn’t have a lot as yet, but he does list all the causes he cares for. It’s a litany of Social Justice Warrior crap. (Note: I did not link to Algadi’s LI page. You can look him up yourself) Returning to the Daily Beast story:
To be clear, the resolution did not refer to Islam. It did not impugn Muslim students, or other Muslims. It did not require anyone to contemplate the fact that the terrorists responsible for 9/11 were Muslims. It said nothing about whether Islam itself is to blame for global terrorism. It merely stated that 9/11 has had a lasting effect on many students, and ought to be reflected upon for a single moment, once a year. And yet, in an email obtained by The Washington Post, Algadi expressed concerns that efforts to recognize 9/11 are sometimes thinly-veiled expressions of Islamophobia.
Believe it or not, Algadi was not alone in his opinion—a majority of student government representatives sided with him, voting down the resolution in a 36-23 vote this month. There would be no moment of silence at UMN on Sept. 11, 2016, if students had their way.
Luckily, the Precious Little Snowflakes don’t.
Showing insufficient mournfulness for the great national tragedy that was 9/11 is itself deeply offensive to many people, however, and UNM’s administration was quickly inundated with demands for a rebuke of the vote. UNM President Eric Kaler announced Wednesday that he would formalize the moment of silence anyway.
Kaler’s reversal of the vote is a good reminder that student government politics are ultimately a pointless sideshow. That’s probably a good thing. What would these despots-in-training do if they had any real power?
Need a hint? Here’s one.
These worthless twerps are clueless as to the world today. It’s not all their fault though. You can blame their parents for not instilling them with any common sense, as well as your average collage faculty for having absolutely no loyalty to America or the things that made this the greatest nation on Earth. Thanks to the Moonbats, we’re now looking at a full scale onslaught by Islamic radicals, (Which, if you have ever read the Koran, is most of them), looking to destroy anything and anyone that isn’t Muslim.
Now we have the rise of ISIS, Al Qaeda is back with a vengeance and the RIF’s (Radical Islamic Fundamentalists), are now invading Europe. It’s only a matter of time before we get hit again. When it happens, these snowflakes will be sitting their, in their little “Safe Zones” crying for mommy and thinking that if they just gave in, the Muslims would stop raping, enslaving and killing them.
Fat Chance.
