University of Chicago had Mohamed Cartoon Discussion, the Invited Muslim Students Watched Film on Suicide Murderers Instead

c Jyllands-Posten
Probably the funniest of the Danish cartoons


You absolutely could not make that headline up without getting into a lot of trouble from the Islamist apologists that haunt our media. Instead you only have to go as far as page 8 of section 2 in this morning’s Chicago Tribune for this laugher. The University of Chicago in Hyde Park is rightly considered one of the intellectual beacons of our society. What does it say about the Muslim community in Hyde Park that instead of having a rational discussion in which they defend their ideas (some would say taboos) they instead protest the event by spending the evening watching Paradise Now, a film that glorifies death by Jihad. It is interesting that the Tribune would even print the article considering their horrible (non)coverage of the cartoon controversy. Of course they couldn’t leave well enough alone, they had to bring CAIR into the discussion near the end of the article. I noticed the article this morning and as I never blog from the trading floor Eugene Volokh at the Volokh Conspiracy beat me to it.

Update: Looks like Little Green Footballs wrote about the Trib article this morning.
