Really?

So, ancient museum statues by Italian masters must be sealed off and hidden because they are nude and will offend the visiting Iranian prime minister. 

How absolutely outrageous!

What has Italy come to?!  How can a country of such rich artistic heritage cover itself up for a visiting misogynistic primitive?  But it is hardly surprising.  The university world has been completely intimidated by Muslim cultural terrorism.  Witness the aggressive defence by Palestinian students at York University in Toronto of a mural which is offensive to Jewish students.  And, by the way, it is definitely offensive because it depicts a Palestinian youth holding rocks behind his back in anticipation of the launching of an attack against Israel.  This is not acceptable, but predictable.  Canadian university students' associations have been taken over by Arabs who have successfully managed to whip up protests against anything and everything that might give equal voice to the Israeli position. 

We had the same mess a few years ago when Allan Rock, the weak president of the University of Ottawa, caved to the protests of Arab students who demanded Ann Coulter be banned from a planned speaking engagement.  They won and Coulter had  to cower in the wings while Arab students yelled and demanded her removal. 

She had been invited by Jewish students.

Last time I checked, universities were supposed to be bastions of learning, free speech, exchangers of ideas and upholders of open-mindedness.  What has happened?!  When I taught at Ontario's Algonquin College, I was dismayed and offended by signs in women's washrooms which invited ONLY Muslim women to use separate, segregated washrooms. These women could certainly use all washrooms, but the rest of us could not use the designated Muslim washrooms.  Muslim women also managed to bully the City of Ottawa into designating women-only swims and the banning of the taking of family photographs.   

This is Canada.  We don't do this.

On another front, it's appalling that both Algonquin and Niagara Colleges have opened campuses in Saudi Arabia for...wait for it...men only.  How can this be tolerated!?  This outrage validates Sharia Law by Ontarian colleges and invalidates Canadian democracy on every level. 

How could this have happened?!  It cannot stand.
