The story begins at Michigan State University with a mechanical engineering professor named Indrek Wichman.
Wichman sent an e-mail to the Muslim Student's Association. The e-mail was in response to the students' protest of the Danish cartoons that portrayed the Prophet Muhammad as a terrorist. The group had complained the cartoons were "hate speech." Enter Professor Wichman. In his e-mail, he said the following:
Dear Moslem Association: As a professor of Mechanical
Engineering here at MSU I intend to protest your
protest.
I am offended not by cartoons, but by more mundane
things like beheadings of civilians, cowardly attacks
on public buildings, suicide murders, murders of
Catholic priests (the latest in Turkey!), burnings of
Christian churches, the continued persecution of
Coptic Christians in Egypt, the imposition of Sharia
law on non-Muslims, the rapes of Scandinavian girls
and women (called "whores" in your culture), the
murder of film directors in Holland, and the rioting
and looting in Paris France.
This is what offends me, a soft-spoken person and
academic, and many, many, many of my colleagues. I
counsel you dissatisfied, aggressive, brutal, and
uncivilized slave-trading Moslems to be very aware of
this as you proceed with your infantile "protests."
If you do not like the values of the West -- see the
1st Amendment -- you are free to leave. I hope for
God's sake that most of you choose that option.
Please return to your ancestral homelands and build
them up yourselves instead of troubling Americans.
Cordially, I. S. Wichman
Professor of Mechanical Engineering

Nice, I wonder how fast he was fired from his job after that E-mail. I think it is great he spoke out, too many profesors will not stand up for what is right.

He wasn't fired, he simply buckled instead of standing up for his right to free speech. And there's busylivin applauding him because he threw a punch and then backed down like a bitch....
Professor Wichman stated in an interview with Detroit News: “I used strong language in a private communication that I would certainly not have used if this communication would have gone public. … For the record, I thought it was a private communication and it was written in haste. I think a very minor thing has been blown completely out of proportion. I wrote it in 60 seconds. It was not like I sat and pondered over this thing for days. It was like you talking one night to your wife or your kids.”
If you're going to remark on something then have the balls to say "Yes that is what I said and I stand by what I said."

He'll fight for freedom wherever there's trouble. G. I. Joe is there!
He never gives up; he'll stay 'til the fight's won. G. I. Joe will dare.
He's America's best; he's in control, he's a man who's tough and bold.
He lives his name, the legend of G. I. Joe! (a real American hero) G. I. Joe is there!
