Doc points the way again, citing a report about UNC Chapel Hill coming under attack by the people who still want to associate Islam with the terrorists:

The Doc Searls Weblog : Thursday, August 8, 2002: “the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill was attacked by state legislators for including a book about the Quran among required summer reading assignments for incoming Freshmen. “The requirement has sparked intense criticism from people who say teaching about Islam undermines national unity in a time when the United States is at war,” the story says. “Just think of what it costs to protect ourselves from this faction, and here we are promoting it,” said Wayne Sexton, a Rockingham County Republican. “I see this as insensitive, arrogant and poor timing to allow students to read about our attackers,” said Rep. Gene Arnold, a Republican from Nash County.“

How utterly ignorant to utter something like “Just think of what it costs to protect ourselves from this faction, and here we are promoting it”,  totally oblivious to the fact that there are millions more Muslims who abhor what happened than who santcion what happenned.  I point again to This entry was posted in Uncategorized and tagged Main Category by dlatureFB.
