Illinois: Chanting "USA" at a football game is offensive to Muslims

9.25.10 – People, listen up. Chanting USA is offensive to Muslims? What next? Will the Taliban or al qaeda or Hamas or the Muslim Brotherhood demand that it be stopped or, in the words of Ground Zero Imam Feisal Rauf, "the Muslim world will explode"?

 

Now chanting “USA” at a football game is offensive to Muslims Jihadwatch

At least in the view of a dhimmi “University Academic Professional” at the University of Illinois. “Block-I chant portrays ‘neither patriotism nor remembrance,’” by David Green, “University Academic Professional,” in the Daily Illini, September 15 (thanks to Weasel Zippers):

The vast majority of 9/11 observances in this country cannot be seen as politically neutral events. Implicit in their nature are the notions that lives lost at the World Trade Center are more valuable than lives lost in Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine and elsewhere; that the motives of the 9/11 attackers had nothing to do with genuine grievances in the Islamic world regarding American imperialism; and that the U.S. has been justified in the subsequent killing of hundreds of thousands in so-called retaliation.
