Earlier this week, we posted on Un-American Islamists at a US university, seeking to censor American Sniper because it portrays the hero taking out terrorists who happen to be Muslims.
Now we have an even more bizarre example of such sectarian intolerance. This occurred last month, the Muslim Brotherhood’s USA wing, CAIR, up in arms because a university professor screened a documentary about victimised Muslim women!
So weird!
It made me follow up to see what happened in the end. My search made me realise that IslamoNazi censorship on campuses is much worse than imagined

The film features women activists — including Muslims — who work in a culture that condones the honor killings of women, female genital mutilation, forced marriages of young girls and other abuses of women. Released in 2013, “Honor Diaries” has been praised for bringing attention to the plight of women in Middle East cultures

The heroine in the Argus story is a gal at the University of South Dakota, named Miglena Sternadori, professor of media and journalism AND a ‘women and gender studies coordinator.’

Not usually somebody who’d get lauded by a conservative like me.
But she showed guts and integrity by standing up to ignoramus intimidation, so let’s look at what occurred.
The screening was scheduled for a ‘women and gender conference,’ one participant being a psychology prof named Cindy Struckman-Johnson.,
“I’m just absolutely stunned,” Struckman-Johnson said. “I just couldn’t believe it. I couldn’t believe that a chair of a committee would be literally bullied. They kept saying, ‘It’s not censorship,’ and we kept saying, ‘Yes it is.'”
But censorship is a key weapon to advance the cause of creeping shariah, so guess who pops up as the villain of the tale? Yup!
A chief critic of the film has been the Council on American-Islamic Relations. Spokesman Ibrahim Hooper called the film “Islamaphobic,” saying the creators behind “Honor Diaries” are well known “anti-Muslim bigots.”

Well, we all know about CAIR – or should.
00000000000000
But what about others?
00000000000000000000000
The report mentions other objectors besides CAIR, all of whom seemed remarkably shy when contacted by the newspaper.
Possibly they are as inarticulate as Lindsay Sparks.

Lindsay ‘Things Like That’ Sparks

She’s USD’s director of transitions and student programming, who tried to justify an underhand cancellation of one screening with this drivel –“We weren’t best prepared to show it and facilitate conversation and things like that.”
How’d an incoherent bint like her get a university job?
Sternadori said she disagrees with assessments that the film is anti-Muslim. She notes that other Muslim groups support the film and that Muslims helped in its creation.
And while checking out this shameful story, I found a lot more like it.
Like that of brave Muslim reformer, Asra. Here’s a sample of the garbage hurled at her by Islamist haters.
==================

Asra Nomani
–By standing on stage, I was standing up to the forces in our Muslim communities that are increasingly using tactics of intimidation and smears such as “Islamophobe,” “House Muslim,” “Uncle Tom,” “native informant,” “racist” and “bigot” to cancel events with which they disagree.

Read the whole Time Magazine article, and see if you agree with me.
Time America – and the rest of us – defended decent Muslim women like Asra and kicked the sectarian wannabe censors back to where they belong.
Sure as sugar, they have NO place in democratic civilised countries.

Poor kid.
Isn’t that in the same area they jailed a poor woman who complained about mosque noise?
The police should tell the complainers to get a life.

Embarrassing that these fanatics still cause trouble and make police work on stupid non- problems about a jokey video even when our country is in crisis.
