    Default College bans 9/11 memorial citing Muslims' feelings

    So we/they are supposed to whitewash, forget about or whatever when it comes to one of the worst ever attacks on our citizens here in America? And to do so, because we don't want to offend any current muslims?

    Well they're just going to have to learn how to get over it or deal with it. No one is attacking them personally, and they should understand as well what happened on that day.

    But a few in the minority will be protected and the majority will have to ignore any exhibits honoring the folks on that day. Their day of "never forget" and they apparently are supposed to forget. What a crock of shit.

    College bans 9/11 memorial citing Muslims' feelings

    A private Wisconsin college banned students from exhibiting a Sept. 11 memorial fearing that it could foster an anti-Muslim environment on campus.

    Ripon College ruled against a display by Young America’s Foundation (YAF) to honor the memory of those killed in the 2001 attacks and to help prevent the events from being forgotten, reported The Washington Examiner. It was part of an annual “Never Forget” project on college campuses around the nation.

    The administration claimed that the memorial would create an atmosphere where “students from a Muslim background would feel singled out and/or harassed.”

    “There is nothing that this poster, in particular, adds to the conversation about 9/11, or about the politics of terrorism, or about national security or responses to it that couldn’t be done easily and more constructively without it,” said Ripon’s Bias Protocol Board, according to the Examiner.

    In addition to images of the Sept. 11 attacks, the exhibit also displayed subsequent radical Islamic extremist events such as Islamic State beheadings and the USS Cole bombing.

    The college further claimed that Muslim terrorists only “represent a small percentage of the terrorist attacks that happen to this country” and that YAF is only showing “a very small picture of a specific religion or nationality instead of the larger viewpoint.”

    YAF quickly refuted the aforementioned claim calling it false and fired back with a fact-check stating “from 1992 to 2017, Islamists were responsible for 92% of deaths caused by terrorism in the United States, and are ‘far and away the deadliest group of terrorists by ideology’.”

    “This attempt by Ripon College’s ‘bias protocol board’ to sanitize the truth out of remembering the anniversary of September 11 proves the necessity of YAF’s iconic 9/11: Never Forget Project, as well as the need for bold YAF activists,” said YAF’s spokesman Spencer Brown. “The administrators’ reliance on feelings rather than facts betrays their intention to cower from the truth rather than highlight the scourge of radical Islamist terror for what it is: evil.”

    Default This country HAS finally gone TO THE DOGS.

    I am so thankful I have lived my life, and time is getting shorter for being around all of this STUPIDITY, IGNORANCE, HATRED, and DUMBER THAN DUMB hypocrites who dare to call themselves Human Beings.

    I will have the LAST LAUGH. God Willing. And all of this crap will be over.
    I love to make Liberals Cry, and Whine.
    So, this is for them.

    Ignorant speculation on their part that Muslim students would be singled out.

    How far does this liberal paranoia have to go?

    Muslims and people of all religions were killed that day, not just the extremists...

    Bunch of bullshit..

    I don't recall the democrat mongrels ever worrying about hurting the poor little Japs feelings every December when we remember Pearl Harbor.

    This leftist dumbfuckery is getting to the point where it's enough to make one VOMIT. I think that civil war is coming. I don't think we can avoid it.

    I think its coming too. And it will be these ignorant,elitist , arrogant dipshit bastards that will force it upon us..
    They and these last couple of generations of brainwashed, selfish and blinded so-called elites.
    These morons that have been educated to be both blind and arrogantly stupid..

    Do you see any of this supposed great concern when they lie to trash Christians, patriots, conservatives, honest law-biding citizens?
    Answer is hell no- but these assholes always do so to try to defend the fing muslims-- that is because besides being brain-dead stupid and blind to reality --they are also graven cowards-- not a damn one of them I'd be afraid to say that to face to face.
    In fact, I wish I could say that to each of them..

    That is quite true, being a private institution.
    Perhaps the media blast should have been ignored.

    I dunno. I just get tired of the MSM making a mockery of actions that demonstrate
    heartfelt tributes to those innocents and first responders that perished that awful day.
    I was stationed in NYC, Queens - Bayside for 3 years and most of our reservists
    were either cops or firefighters in NYC.

    I was off that day, having worked in the Command Center all weekend. I saw it on the
    news, went in, showered, shaved and went in to augment the duty personnel.
    It was pandemonium in Los Angeles and Long Beach Harbors for several hours.

    All agencies were on high alert. USMC and Navy sent shallow water boats loaded with
    Marines and Seals to guard the harbors.
    I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?

    Surely the Muslims would be happy at the reminder that they murdered so many Americans, no?

    #$%& the people who are offended. This is too much. Time to start offending everyone. Hell, I don't have career anymore so I'm not worried about being fired.

    It's a reminder of how many we lost during the attack. I frankly don't care if they are reminded about the loss of Americans on American soil that they now supposedly want to be a part of. If they were not responsible they have nothing to be ashamed of. Just as I'm not ashamed of what my ancestors did. Why should I give up my right to honor the dead just because some new residents or illegals are offended. This is America ... love it and it's symbols or leave it!

    That’s fair enough assuming as it comes with the corollary ‘I am not proud of what my ancestors did’.

    It’s a perspective we should see more of, no?

    Muslims protesting in campuses, demanding that memorials are raised to remind everyone how much they hate Americans and were glad so many of them died on 9/11.
