Annual Sept 11 event banned at University of Minnesota
More insanity: The student government at the University of Minnesota has rejected doing an annual moment of silence in memory of Sept 11 because it might make Islamic students feel “unsafe.”
At-large MSA representative and Director of Diversity and Inclusion David Algadi voiced severe criticism of the resolution. He also made sure to emphasize 9/11’s status as a national tragedy in his response. “The passing of this resolution might make a space that is unsafe for students on campus even more unsafe,” said Algadi, “Islamophobia and racism fueled through that are alive and well.” Algadi added that holding a moment of recognition over a tragedy committed by non-white perpetrators could increase racist attitudes on campus, asking, “When will we start having moments of silence for all of the times white folks have done something terrible?”
I suspect Algadi would have no problem with any event that made whites or Europeans uncomfortable. In fact, by his very comments it appears he would celebrate it. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if he would celebrate the destruction of two skyscrapers and the killing the 3,000 innocents, merely because the act was committed by brown people against white perpetrators.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The print edition can be purchased at Amazon or from any other book seller. If you want an autographed copy the price is $60 for the hardback and $45 for the paperback, plus $8 shipping for each. Go here for purchasing details. The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

It would not surprise me one bit if all of these types of protests and actions originate with and are timed and coordinated to some degree with the people that surround the president. Lets face it, most of these actions have that kind of smell to them. And I would be confident that as we get closer and closer to the end of this regime that they become bigger and bigger to the point of total chaos when and where it can be perpetrated as time permits. This is what you get when you have community organizing from the very top down. It has never happened before in American history.
This is “fundamental change” in America.

Moment of silence = Hate speech
Aren’t Muslim Americans offended by this? Aren’t our nation’s enemies, like AQ and ISIS, our shared enemies? No one has killed more Muslims, or mistreated them, than these Islamic militant groups.
You don’t see German Americans getting upset over VE Day or Saving Private Ryan.
Viewing some documentaries on the gang violence in Trinidad, the gang members consider themselves as “community organizers”. In deed, they do contribute to the safety and well being of people in their very small locals. This type of thing was gave Osama BL the strength or power to live in Afghanistan. However, I now understand what a “community organizer” is. The racial violence is what the Nazis party did in gaining power.
The Tea Party movement was slowed by the Occupy Movement which all rational people must conclude was a show of power by the democrats. The same is happening with the unrest at the universities to counteract the strength growing for the republicans.
