Even this post is ass-kissed to death

no article about Muslim-wrongdoing would be complete without some sort of ass-kissing, asterisk, or apologetic tone...

"These hadiths, which include thousands of noninflammatory principles,..."

Did you count them Ms. Go? Do you have a count of the inflammatory principles as well?

Swimming Up De-Nile

Can The Muslim Student Union show what passages in the Torah or Bible is directly offensive or threatening to Muslims?

The passage removed is a DIRECT THREAT aimed at Jews to KILL THEM - in any context - it is what it is.

Good and not good

The provost is quite right to call the hadiths described therein "despicable", for the simple fact that they are, indeed, horrifying. The only problem is that by removing them, the USC Muslim Student Union is then able to pretend they never existed in the first place.

Their complaint, however, of offensive passages in the Torah and NT is spurious - which Christian and Jewish terrorists, exactly, are citing these passages in defense of their actions? Which people are being executed in Christian countries, or in Israel, for leaving Christianity or Judaism? Where does it say that other religions must be destroyed, and who is doing this in such nations? No one. This underscores the offense that non-muslims take from such extremist doctrine: the issue being that it's actually being acted on. While it's true that while the non-muslim world has much to do (particularly in the area of gay rights, for example), no legal authority there is advocating the kind of heinous religious discrimination that these hadiths - and every single islamic country in the world - so viciously endorse.

I'd recommend that everyone reading this link visit the site www.jihadwatch.org/dhimmiwatch to get a better perspective and a rounder education on the social failings of political islamism. If the offensive hadiths disturbed you, then you'd be advised to find out how they're actually being employed.
