Cambridge University might be willing to commend their spirit into the hands of their Father, but we here at Infidel Bloggers Alliance are not ready to do so. Screw the Muslims and their pussy-assed sensitivity.
Cambridge University can't find the backbone to stand behind a student who criticizes Islam (thanks to Religion of Pieces):
A CAMBRIDGE University student is at the centre of a race-hate probe after printing anti-Islamic material in a magazine.
The 19-year-old second year student at Clare College was in hiding today (Friday, 09 February) after printing the racist cartoon and other vile material.
The article is said to be so inflammatory the undergraduate has been taken to a secret location for his own safety.
Today (Friday, 09 February), senior college officials were locked in urgent talks about how the material came to be published and what action to take against the student at the centre of the scandal.
A university spokesman said police had been made aware of the incident.
A spokesman f o r Cambridgeshire Police said: "This is a matter for the university authorities to deal with."
He added that an investigation was not yet in progress.
The student magazine, Clareification, printed a cropped copy of the cartoon of the prophet Mohammed next to a photo of the president of the Union of Clare Students.
The cartoon was captioned with the president's name and vice versa.
There was also comment suggesting one was a "violent paedophile" and the other was "a prophet of God, great leader and an example to us all."
The cartoon was the same one which caused riots across the world when it was printed in a Danish newspaper.
For his own safety and that of others, the student, who is British, has been taken out of his current accommodation and put in a secure place.
The paper had been renamed Crucification for a special edition on religious satire.
The front page included headlines stating: "Ayatollah rethinks stance on misunderstood Rushdie".
On page six, pictures were shown of Muslims holding placards reading: "Behead those who insult Islam" and "Freedom go to Hell."
Enraged students have bombarded the Union of Clare Students with complaints and vice-president of the university's Islamic society described it as "hugely offensive" and "crude unabashed prejudice."
In a rare move, Clare College fellows have called a Court of Discipline which will sit in judgment on the youth responsible for sparking what is being regarded as one the most embarrassing incidents for the university in years.
God save us from these fucking pussies. God help us. God, help us, please, our people have given up the ghost.
UPDATE: Motoons Schmotoons writes in and says, we need to support this kid by publishing the cartoons ourselves. Yes, sounds like a good idea to me. Here you go, you motherfuckers.

Time for the IBA to keep this issue alive and support that student by re-running the Motoons on every partner blog. What say you, info warriors?
Sounds like a good idea.
Once again the terms "race hate" and "racist cartoon" are used.
You would have thought that one of the highest academic institutions in the World would know the difference between race hate and religious criticism.(For Case Law see the recent BNP trail.)
Watch Dispatches "Undercover Mosque". There is a spokesman called ABDAL-HAKIM MURAD a ginger haired British convert to Islam and clearly caucasian.He is also an Islamic "scholar" at this establishment. I believe that the student in question is also caucasian so how can this possibly be a race hate crime. Islam is a political belief system not a race.
In a democracy we are free to critise religious and political beliefs. Especially,in the name of Free Speech provided we can back our arguments.We all know where the term "violent paedophile" comes from therefore this is justified criticism.
However, the authorities choose to witchhunt this individual on a charge that clearly does not exist from the outset. I can see why the Muslims are angry because once again someone brave enough,has shown them for what they are!
"I can't take it no more, I've had it up to here,I tell you."
I agree with motoon shmotoon, this case must be given maximum publicity.
The British MSM are keeping very quiet on this story, although (because?) it is a test case for freedom of expression.
It should be all over the blogosphere, so the dhimmi college authorities know that the eyes of the free world are on them.
Support this student! Support freedom of expression!

Pastorius, I echo your cry from the heart. This is suicidal madness. What sort of craven, groveling cowards are these people turning into? Nice objective reporting from the Cambridge Evening News too, "racist cartoon and other vile materials" indeed! And oh, yes, by the way, Izzadeen is up on charges for praising the 7/7 suicide terrorists. Nothing "vile" about that, I notice. Had I lost someone on 7/7, I would even now be prowling the Cambridge campus with a pie, looking for that fucking little panty-wearing Colum Davey. Whatever happened to tar and feathers?
E, can you or anyone else recommend a specific book or other source on pacifist/appeasement movements prior to WWII, here and in Europe? I now realize I spent about the first 60 years of my life believing that the Allies were united in stalwart opposition to the Nazis and rose in righteous fury against Hitler's war machine at the earliest opportunity. Obviously I was misinformed, not paying attention, watching too many old WWII movies or all three. I need reassurance that people were as much damn fools about it back then as they are now, but somehow we still won.
Thanks to the religion of peices, i put this up on my blog. Its such an inditement of what was once the elite establishment of our nation. One hardly need wonder why in most every world ranking we are falling like a drunk girls tights when this is how cambridge behaves.
To think that we once ruled the world with Cambridge Oxford and Eton at the head of the table. To think that we were once the envy of the world. To think!
I like the eloquence to express just how appalling is the set of attitudes. Why are the left and the politically correct so willing to give up freedom of speech for the stake of muslims? I know we've made the point over and over again about the same group of people being willing to offend Christians in every way. I suggest that the left has bought into the myth of expert competence even more than the right. This is somewhat surprising as French leftist philosophers celebrate, bricolage, or tinkering, while the right exults the authority of tradition. I suggest that as the intellectuals took over the university they didn't want to find their own authority undermined and actually began to buy more into the cult of the expert than the right. So, the reaction by Cambridge is self-interested as the expert on race relations and Islams say that censoring speech is the way to go. Gosh, who knows what the right-wing may get the public to doubt about experts next? A doctoral thesis in English literature about Hamlet being a tale of homosexual incest between Hamlet and the King? The latest ideologically charged sociology research? It's far too dangerous to permit questioning.
I don't deny that thinking about issues may lead us to better answers, and that it is for that reason we have the cult of the expert. However, if we stubbornly stick to some premise, then we may not improve our knowledge at all. I fear this happens all the time in many disciplines in academia. As an aside, I suggest the easiest to avoid close-mindedness is to look for contradictions in our own beliefs--no matter how far apart those contradictions seem to be. We can then strive to resolve those contradictions and maybe find ourselves coming up with interesting answers. It's the way I can to my unlikely set of beliefs. As an example of how this is done, I pointed out yesterday to a "pro-life" individual that he has to give up either his pro-life stance or his support for low-density zoning laws as they aren't compatible in the long run. I didn't seem to get any answer from him which he wanted to give up yesterday, but maybe if he thinks about it, he'll come up with something.
Good thoughts on the cult of the expert, Demosthenes.
I think the pendulum swings in politics. It is interesting to see that the right is more intellectually experimental now than the left. It has not always been that way, and it will not continue to be so in perpetuity.
No sightings of this paper showing up on e-bay yet. I'd love a copy. . . and would enjoy a bidding war for one. Then I'd consider blogging just to show various examples of the market value of free speech.
A similar thing happened in the U.S. just recently. Here's news of suppression of satire by C.W. Post College in New York:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070210/ap_on_re_us/fake_hostage_video
I couldn't find the duck-kidnapping video (of the C.W. Post College brouhaha) on YouTube, but did find a video commentary on it:

I'm not throwing in the towel on the UK just yet. Remember a some things:
1) It was just them against Germany and Italy and occupied Europe in 1940. That was at a time when Russia was on Germany's side. Britain stood alone, and that was the UK's finest hour. I think they still got it in 'em. I think Britain's next finest hour is going to be finer than her last.
And that brings me to another point:
2) We won our freedom in America because of a freedom-loving heritage that we inherited from our mother country. It wasn't no Spanish or French or Portuguese colony that led the way in breaking from Europe. What America inherited, America got from the UK.
Speaking of the American Revolution,
3) They got their PC people there, just like we do here. But even in Britain in 1940, there were many folks who were on the Nazis side, and there were many who wanted to throw in the towel. In the colonies in Revolutionary times, there were loyalists and there were folks who just didn't care. Things haven't really changed that much; we just have all these sorry news shows blasting it into our homes on TV, as opposed to old, dusty history books, so it seems worse.
When the time comes to kick jihadi butt, the Brits will do just fine.
By the way, Pastorius, your language is atrocious. ;)
Highest Infidelity,
You love me. Admit it.
Actually, I agree with everything you said in your comment here. Thanks for saying it.
Doesn't it get you angry that so many of our fellow Westerners are willing to just give in like they do? Don't you want to slap them like Patton did that pussy-assed soldier in the med ward?
C'mon, my friend, you know what I mean. Don't play high and mighty with me. I'm no dummy, I just play one on this blog.
We have a civilization to save. I'm gonna do it in a voice that will be understood.
So, repeat after me, Fuck the Islamofascists.
Thank you my friend,good will prevail,keep up the good work.
Caught this quote at MEMRI.Org that about sums it up:
"Let us return to the role of tolerance in Islam and in other religions. The question that arises is: Why is it that Christians and Jews and members of all religions other than Islam can criticize their religious leaders and raise questions about anything and everything, and raise doubts concerning some of the concepts in their beliefs, without provoking any tumult or violence against those asking the questions or raising the doubts, and without their being punished? The Muslims are the only ones who raise a storm when any criticism or question is directed at an issue concerning their religion, while [at the same time] insisting that freedom of religion and belief is guaranteed in Islam and in Islamic countries.
This quote comes from Iraqi Reformist 'Abd Al-Khaliq Hussein.
"Once again the terms "race hate" and "racist cartoon" are used.
You would have thought that one of the highest academic institutions in the World would know the difference between race hate and religious criticism"
One of the highest academic institutions in the world does know the difference. Clearly you have utterly failed to check your sources. That phrase came from the Cambridge Evening News, a paper which has never seen a copy of Clareification. It is wild speculation, like this blog and most of the comments on it.
Also, as a point of fact...
"To think that we once ruled the world with Cambridge Oxford and Eton at the head of the table. To think that we were once the envy of the world. To think!"
Cambridge and Oxford remain in the top 10 Universities worldwide. Cambridge is number 2, Oxford number 3.

Will you people please do some research before you sound off.
Clare college Student,
Do you have any idea how I can get a hold of the student in question? I want to interview him for my radio show.
