BMOC – Big Mujahideen On Campus
March 20th, 2006 at 4:39 pm by SmantixJohn Fund has a must read piece in today’s Wall Street Journal about how Yale’s administration keep rationalizing away any concerns about inviting the Taliban’s mouthpiece to infect their campus:
Meredith Startz, president of the Yale Political Union, told me “there’s more discussion of military recruiting among people at Yale than about the Taliban student.”
[...]
“No matter how carefully we frame this debate, it would inevitably turn into a trial of a fellow student and his personal life and beliefs,” Ms. Startz wrote me. “The [Political Union] is not a forum for that sort of discussion.” When I asked her how mentioning Mr. Rahmatullah’s professional record as an apologist and propagandist for the murderous Taliban could be construed as a discussion of “his personal life and beliefs,” she told me I was playing “semantics.”
Christ, no. Universities never try to discuss things that could offend someone’s belief systems.
Late last year he wrote an essay in which he said that the regime “honestly practiced what they had learned in their religious schools. They did what they had been taught to do. Whether what they had been taught was good or bad is another subject.” When a Times of London reporter asked Mr. Rahmatullah this month about the Taliban’s public executions in a Kabul soccer stadium, he quipped, “There were also executions happening in Texas.”
If they won’t expel him, can we at least have him him do color commentary at their soccer games?

Hashemi is pale stuff compared to Yale’s Mazola Party with the Black Panthers years ago. In response to the two-day torture with scalding water and cigarettes of Alex Rackley and his eventual murder, the usual suspects at Yale protested the trial of twelve Panthers for the crime as politically motivated…even though Warren Kimbro, for one, admitted to the killing under orders from Bobby Seale and other Panthers.
Kimbro did a few years in jail and ended up at Harvard. Yes, it’s true. His co-defendant also did seven years, although we don’t know which elite instituion picked him up. Ten others got off on a mistrial.
Yale’s hard science departments are still pretty good, but the soft, pretend Liberal Arts colleges are moral and political cess pools. Hashemi belongs there because he’s up to their standards.

S-Man. Not tired of the stories, just fed up with the liberal attitude overtaking our country. Not sure what’s up with folks defending this behavior. The attitude of everyone deserves a second chance is fitting in many areas. However I doubt passing on hate and crimes of murder and violence is one of those. Where I grew up you could be forgiven but you first had to prove yourself. Life was not just handed to you because it feels good.
Good point Rhod. My question is where are the standards anymore.
Shitttttttttttt……….I am surrounded by liberals! Present company excluded
