Storm Track Intimidation: CAIR Shows It’s True Colors

From The Gathering Storm

The Council or Islamic and American Relations – yes, that bastion of tolerance and protector of Islamic moderation – was instrumental for getting a DePaul Professor suspended for “offending Muslims”.

“In an interview with Walking Eagle Productions, a documentary film company covering the DePaul controversy, Klocek said that he was suspended by DePaul administration and ultimately lost his position and teaching benefits after engaging in an out-of-class argument with pro-Palestinian students at a student activities fair on campus.

What was his horrible offense? He voiced his opinion.

“CAIR and Muslim student groups told University officials that Klocek offended Muslim students when discussing Christian interests in Israel, disputing that Israeli treatment of Palestinians was akin to the Nazi treatment of the Jews and then terminating the discussion when it appeared that the students were more interested in Israel-bashing than discussing the issues. After engaging in heated discussion with two Muslim student groups at a Student Involvement Fair on DePaul’s campus, the student groups Students for Justice in Palestine (SPJ) and United Muslims Moving Ahead (UMMA) went to the administration to call for Klocek’s firing. Both groups were backed by CAIR's Chicago office, and other local Muslim advocate groups, some of whom called for even harsher punishment.

His beheading perhaps? Tolerance is to be upheld according to CAIR, unless someone disagrees with the Islamist position.
