If you do not like the values of the West

At the American Thinker, Joseph Crowley tells of an email:

“The story begins at Michigan State University with a mechanical engineering professor named Indrek Wichman. Wichman sent an he-mail to the Muslim Student 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…” [Ed. — More about the content of the email in a moment.]… “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…” Click here to read the rest.

Sharia law has yet to supersede our Constitution despite CAIR’s seditious efforts.

New York Times hides WOT hero, again

On the Corner of the National Review Online, Michael Ledeen spotted a three line, correction appended, Associated Press report about Navy SEAL Michael Monsoor in the online edition of the New York Times.

I have said it before yet it needs repeated:

Since 9/11, on all battlefields, more than 4,000 American soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines have earned and been awarded the top six medals for valor, the Bronze Star with ‘V’ device and higher. Conversely, the Times has written and published but four straight stories about the battlefield heroics of the War on Terror’s most highly decorated troops — and not one time has even their heroism made the Times’ front page.

Michael Monsoor:

“A California-based SEAL who threw his body on a grenade to save his comrades in Iraq will posthumously receive the Medal of Honor, a Defense Department official has confirmed. Master-at-Arms 2nd Class (SEAL) Michael A. Monsoor, of Garden Grove, Calif., was holed up on the roof of a Ramadi house with three other SEALs on Sept. 29, 2006, when an insurgent grenade landed nearby. Monsoor, a 25-year old with SEAL Team 3, grabbed the grenade and clutched it to his chest. The blast killed him, but his actions, officials said at the time, saved the men on the rooftop.”

This is how to honor a hero:

Why did the Times and AP even bother?
