Professor Wichman's E-mail Claim: A Michigan professor sent an
e-mail telling Muslim students to leave the country. Status:
True. Hooray for Michigan State University (The Spartans) and
Professor Wichman!
Well, what do we have here. Looks like a small case of some people
being able to dish it out, but not take it. Let's start at the
top. The story begins at Michigan State University with a
mechanical engineering professor named Indrek Wichman.
Wichman sent an e-mail to the Muslim Student's Association. The
e-mail was in response to the students' protest of the Danish
cartoons that portrayed the Prophet Muhammad as a terrorist. The
group had complained the cartoons were "hate speech." Enter
Professor Wichman. In his e-mail, he said the following:
Dear Moslem Association:
As a professor of Mechanical Engineering here at MSU I intend to
protest your protest. I am offended not by cartoons, but by more
mundane things like beheadings of civilians, cowardly attacks on
public buildings, suicide murders, murders of Catholic priests (the
latest in Turkey!), burnings of Christian churches, the continued
persecution of Coptic Christians in Egypt, the imposition of Sharia
law on non-Muslims, the rapes of Scandinavian girls and women
(called "whores" in your culture), the murder of film directors in
Holland, and the rioting and looting in Paris France.
This is what offends me, a soft-spoken person and academic, and
many, many, many of my colleagues. I counsel you dissatisfied,
aggressive, brutal, and uncivilized slave-trading Moslems to be
very aware of this as you proceed with your infantile "protests."
If you do not like the values of the West -- see the 1st Amendment
-- you are free to leave. I hope for God's sake that most of you
choose that option. Please return to your ancestral homelands and
build them up yourselves instead of troubling Americans.
Cordially, I. S. Wichman Professor of Mechanical Engineering
As you can imagine, the Muslim group at the university didn't like
this too well. They're demanding that Wichman be reprimanded and
mandatory diversity training for faculty and a seminar on hate and
discrimination for freshman. Now the Michigan chapter of CAIR has
jumped into the fray. CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic
Relations, apparently doesn't believe that the good professor had
the right to express his opinion.
For its part, the university is standing its ground They say the
e-mail was private, and they don't intend to publicly condemn his
remarks. That will probably change. Wichman says he never intended
the e-mail to be made public, and wouldn't have used the same
strong language if he'd known it was going to get out.
How's the left going to handle this one? If you're in favor of the
freedom of speech, as in the case of Ward Churchill, will the same
protections be demanded for Indrek Wichman? I doubt it.
Hey folks, send this to your friends, and ask them to do the same.
Tell them to keep passing it around until the whole country gets
it. We are in a war. This political correctness crap is getting
old!
