Professor Wichman E-mail

Worth repeating. What do you think?


Claim: A Michigan professor sent an e-mail telling Muslim students to leave the country.

Status: True.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 Moslim 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 of my colleagues.
I counsel you dissatisfied, aggressive, brutal,
and uncivilized slave-trading Moslims 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

As you can imagine, the Muslim group at the university didn't like this too well. They're demanding that Wichman be reprimanded and the university impose mandatory diversity training for faculty and mandate a seminar on hate and discrimination for all freshmen. Now the local chapter of CAIR has jumped into the fray.

CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic Relations,
apparently doesn't believe that the good professor
had the right to express his opinion. For its part,
the university is standing its ground in support of Professor Wichman, saying the e-mail was private,
and they don't intend to publicly condemn his remarks.

It was a very diplomatically-written email. If they dont liek it then they should leave- 1st amedment allows the prof to write things like that.

nobody has even mentioned any merit of his statements. there is a correlation between the cartoon and the islamic acts of violence: they are both foreign. i have not seen any paper in the US publish the cartoon in question so they are making it a matter of an international magnitude. this most certainly should apply to the horrific acts of violence that muslims have committed as well if they are going to make a huge deal out of a cartoon. i hate hypocrites, regardless of what group the associate with.
