"There Are Different Truths"

-
That absurd statement came from an official at Diablo Valley College in northern California in response to a challenge from investigative reporter, Lee Kaplan. Mr. Kaplan had taken a course on Middle East politics, taught by a muslim imam who spouted the usual lies and plo propaganda throughout the entire course.

The true absurdity of these "academics" is in their own ignorance. Consider this- after being told by the official that having the imam teach the class "offered a broader education" to students, Mr. Kaplan, no doubt with a herculean effort to keep his eyes in their sockets, continued on:

[[ I found this line of argument unpersuasive. “Araim,” I noted, “taught students in the class that Jews and Christians are not persecuted in the Arab countries of the Middle East. He also told the class that women are not stoned in Iran.” I asked Vice President Murillo whether she was aware that this was a common practice in Islamic countries. She replied she had not heard about such things.

I was taken aback by that response. After all, she was responsible for the course content. “These things are reported about constantly in the newspapers,” I said. “I don’t mean to be offensive, but I’m appalled that as an academic responsible for choosing what is taught about the Middle East, and who is responsible over the faculty to teach that, that you are unaware of such things.” Murillo was unmoved. “There are lots of things in the newspaper,” she replied. ]]

See? Mr. Kaplan was "taken aback" by her response. That is how many of us normal people react to these people... we have to learn to get over our surprise at their outlandish worldviews- that is the first step to squashing those views once and for all.

The whole thing is similarly mind numbing.
