Duplicity at Pee-Yew

That's P.U., as in Pace University. Come to find out, the higher ups at this ivory tower institution have a history of pandering to Muslims. Seems you can trash things sacred to Jewish people, but don't you dare do anyhting that might offend a Muslim. For a must-read, click here. (h/t: Stop the ACLU)

A few tidbits:
When a Menorah was desecrated on campus and a swastika was drawn on a Holocaust memorial event poster, the University’s president David A. Caputo labeled the events as "bias incidents."

When a
paperback Koran was tossed in a toilet – resulting in minimal water damage – Caputo labeled the incident as a “hate crime” that outraged him.

Northern Kentucky University professor Sally Jacobsen and some of her students removed crosses from a social commentary/protest installation on campus and threw them in the trash, because she was against the anti-abortion message it was representing. (FOX News).
[...]
Pace censored a screening of Obsession, a film critical of radical Islam, after Muslim students complained (Family Security Foundation).
[...]
Now, back to the paperback Koran and its unfortunate swim in a toilet bowl. Is this really a hate crime? No one was physically hurt. The damage to the Koran was minimal. The Koran in question was a paperback copy – not a priceless religious document. There was no personal target of the demonstration – the target was a paperback book. This was a constitutionally protected act of free speech, regardless of what New York’s hate crime bill states, the same way dropping a crucifix in a jar of urine was protected speech. I suspect that eventually the law will be decided unconstitutional, and Shmulevich will be punished only for simple vandalism.

PC liberals kowtow to anything Muslim because they are both scared of Muslim groups like CAIR (which has pushed the legal troubles against Shmulevich) and they suffer from white guilt – they must do what they can to give minority groups more power because their ancestors were bigots. Unfortunately, people like Shmulevich get thrown under the bus for acting out against something the PC liberals seek to protect.
Do yourself a favor. Read the whole thing.
