QuoteUniversity of Connecticut Professor Felix Coe tells a student to "get the hell out" for wearing shoes in his office, which he says is "a curse in Islam." A sign orders students to say "Bismillah" before entering his office.

Try CNN.
Your the one making unsubstantiated claims, don't tell your audience to do your job for you.
You won't like it. it is an Invalid source (https://www.jihadwatch.org/2018/06/video-uconn-muslim-prof-requires-students-to-remove-shoes-say-bismillah-on-entering-his-office) Isn't it?
Wow, so it's one nutjob out of... let's see, 3.3 million people. Gee, that surely must mean they are all nutjobs then!
This guy is an idiot. That's it. His name is Felix Coe... how devout of Muslim do you really think this guy is? One review I have seen on him going through professor rating sites is that he is extremely bipolar (even from reviews that were praising him). He is a loon.
I could do the same thing for literally any other group (Conservatives, Christians, Atheists, Whites, Men, Straights, whatever) etc. of searching for the most absolutely nutjobbish of people of thouse groups, and then blame it on their ideology or culture for being crazy, but I don't. It's just not accurate, and the people who push it do so out of hatred.
For real hatred, bigotry, discrimination, racism read the Quran.
Shiranu, isn't it hypocritical of you to constantly argue down anything PR posts about Islam and what its beliefs makes people into, when you'd have the same opinions of Christianity or conservatives?
Do you think Islam is a race?
Quote...when you'd have the same opinions of Christianity or conservatives?
Exactly, I would have the same opinion of other ideologies; they cant be judged as a whole by the idiocy of one nutjob who is utterly irrelevant outside a small university in a small state.
I don’t want my favorite group exposed and pillored for what they are doing!
#NOTALLMUSLIMS
He's got a point, it seems these days any criticism against Islam and what people do in the name of it and your quick to try and find a loophole to prove his options are based on some racist thoughts, when fact is Islam isn't a race.
The point is that this is allowed by the college administration when they are funded by the tax payers.
ACLU is not available for comments.

Not a problem in the US. In Britain there is no free speech ... IngSOC. The professor can do anything his admin lets him get away with. So why do you object?
I would have no problem behaving politely in the presence of an orthodox Jew, so I wouldn't have any problem behaving myself around a Catholic priest or a orthodox Muslim. But I agree, the professor is being a bit ... superstitious. He must teach in the religion department ;-)

Only true blue D party can be allowed to post videos.
The Christians are shooting their classmates in schools.
The Moslems are blowing each other up in the marketplaces, abducting young girls as sex slaves.
The Jews are shooting people who cast stones.
US Christians are happily separating children from their mothers at the border "for deterrence".
Moslems are abducting boys and indoctrinating them as suicide soldiers.
Hindu mobs kill raped women for becoming "impure" and kill Moslems on the vaguest of rumors.
Is it any wonder that religious beliefs in industrialized modern societies is diminishing? In the 90s, the number of US atheists was about 14%. Now it is 26% and apparently growing. In Europe, it is higher. It is hitting a tipping point in many places. It used to be that most people thought the Earth was flat. And then they didn't. Atheism may suddenly become the majority viewpoint every where it matters, and the places that hold on to it, diminish like the belief in Thor and Osiris.

Did they shoot classmates because of their religious dictate?
Does the Bible say kill them wherever find them? (Quran 2:191, 3:151, 9:5, 4:89)
Did they scream "in the name of Jesus" while shooting their classmates?
Or were the shooters simply deranged or had a grudge?
You may find after a little research that this accusation may be baseless.

To answer more fully...
It is routine for members of any religious belief to claim, well, those evil people weren't really "one of us". They are.
They killed classmates because of their religiously created anger.

Any ideology does so, have you seen how toxic star trek, star wars and my little pony fandom's get? And that's just an internal issue. Now have such group ideologies with people who don't conform to it, and you create a whirlpool of resentment

Yes, Star Wars is now part of The Resistance, part of Clinton Incorporated. Star Trek got converted from American to European in 1988 ... the Borg will make short work of it.
The Borg have arrived in Europe. (52 Million and more coming)

Beware of what SciFi is popular ... apparently the British expect to escape the Borg, and The Master, in the Tardis ;-)
The later versions of Star Trek were metrosexual. Though Capt Picard was less EU, after experiencing the tender mercies of becoming Locutus. He stopped just short of exterminating all of them (he infected them with a anti-social computer virus instead).

Lots of things disappear down the memory hole now ... being the COINTELPRO times we live in. I am beginning to doubt that Obama was ever President.
I don't watch Fox, oh king of dismissal stereotyping. Like Al Gore was President, while Bill Clinton was chasing pussy, and Dick Cheney was President, while George W Bush was choking on pretzels ... maybe Joe Biden was President while Barak Obama was polishing empty rhetoric?

I actually did a little research, and the guy in the video IS a professor at UCon. So something definitely did happen, and the guy seems to be a bit nutty for having students do that (and imo, in the wrong), but the idea that this is somehow forcing his students to be Muslim and worship Allah, or that it is evidence of the impending SJW apocalypse, is absolutely ridiculous.
And colleges protect their employees, even when they employees are wrong. That isn't some liberal thing; how many rape scandals does the military have where it sides with the people who covered it up rather than the victims... do you think the military is a liberal institution for snowflakes as well?

At least pr126 isn't in denial of what Islamism is. The Left want to embrace anything that will destroy the USA ... the Right want to do evil things ... not really different in my eyes. I would rather have teetotaling Muslim neighbors than you party animals.

Christianism ... what the Europeans did from about 500 CE - 1900 CE in its Byzantine and W European forms. By 1900 CE of course, Darwin, Marx and Nietzsche had subverted Christianism ... each in their own way.
You are a smart and mature man ... but obsessive. If we can't separate religion from politics (in the Anglo-American tradition at least) then we have to return to wars of religion. And atheists must be executed for treason against the Church of England etc.

Actually, I understand your objection to "Christianism". It should be "Christism" as in Buddism, Hinduism, Mithraism, etc. But as a religious name for "Christian", it IS a logical construct. Just not a common one. I have a habit that my college English teachers pointed out many times, of creating new words that were perfectly rational in construct, just not the usual forms.
In 12th grade english class, the teacher put up 'Jabberwocky' and challenged any of us to identify the words by their parts of speech. I stepped right up and identified them all perfectly. He was both annoyed (I ruined his teaching segment I suppose) and impressed. I got a reference from him to advanced English in college, but I wasn't interested in it enough to continue.
