In brief, it amounts to sucking up to the bad guys, shafting the good guys, and generally getting everything wrong, wrong, wrong.

Common Sense as "Hate Speech"

University campuses are so far  down the bunny hole of political correctness that a little bit of common sense strikes people as "hate speech" and sets off a frenzy. From ABC News (my bolds):

Today begins Sexual Abuse Awareness and Prevention month -- and American University is in an uproar over an anti-feminist diatribe in the student newspaper charging that some women who survive date rape invited it.

Emma Greenbaum hands a petition to Matt Brown on the campus of American University to protest a column in the student newspaper on date rape.

"Let's get this straight: any woman who heads to an EI [fraternity] party as an anonymous onlooker, drinks five cups of the jungle juice, and walks back to a boy's room with him is indicating that she wants sex, OK?" columnist Alex Knepper, 20, wrote in the Eagle, the school paper.

"To cry 'date rape' after you sober up the next morning and regret the incident is the equivalent of pulling a gun to someone's head and then later claiming that you didn't ever actually intend to pull the trigger," he said.

The column -- "Dealing With AU's Anti-Sex Brigade" -- sparked a backlash and nearly 300 online comments on the newspaper's Web site, chastising the Eagle for being "open-facedly offensive" and publishing a "slap in the face to so many women, and men, in our generation.

Students bombarded the Eagle's office, gathering the March 28 issue from dispensaries and stacking them outside the door. More protests were planned today as letters to the editor poured in to the newspaper.

Others from American's Community Action for Social Justice Coalition (CASJC) hung a sign: "No room for rape apologists."

Knepper, an openly gay political science major and a two-year columnist with the Eagle, is known as a provocateur, according to CASJC member Drew Franklin.

 "It's not typical of what you see at American, a very liberal school, but it is typical of Alex," he said. "This sparked a lot of outrage. It's a pretty big deal on campus."

Franklin, 22, and an audio production major, said he wasn't protesting Knepper's ideas, but rather the platform the newspaper gave the writer for "hate speech."

The Eagle has since apologized...

Of course it has. How could it not, after a "provocateur" questioned the wisdom of chicks guzzling gallons of booze and expecting the similarly soused horny dude she goes back to the dorm room with to back off when she has a change of heart? To suggest that female students exercise some caution and self control and not put themselves in such situations the first place--isn't that the very definition of "hate speech"? And should you dare even question why only the drunken male and never the drunken female bears responsibility for what ensues while both are in a drunken stupor--why, that's the unconscionable "marginalization" of sexual assault victims, right? Because for it to be anything else would cause campus noggins, crammed full of specious p.c. notions about drunken frat party gropings constituting some sort of "date," to 'splode.

Would these same chicks get blotto, go stand in the middle of a busy intersection, and expect to not get hit by an oncoming vehicle?

Behind Every Niqab-Wearing Woman...

There's an Islamist male who commends her clothing choices (i.e. the distinct paucity thereof).

It's a Logical Twelve to Seven

Harpoon Siddiqui seeing eye to eye with the kooky ex-diplomat who told a Liberal Party gathering that the sinister hand of "the Jew" was behind Stephen Harper's otherwise baffling Middle East foreign policy--what are the odds, eh?

And It's One, Two, Three What Are We Fightin' For?

Apparently, we're fighting for this (from Reuters):

Engaged to an older man who had offered $5,000 to her father but in love with a boy she spoke to on the phone, the 16-year-old girl was hauled before a court that found her guilty of running away from home, according to an account she provided.

"I was engaged to an older man and I was not happy. He was painting his beard black," said the girl, who cannot be named because of rules protecting juvenile detainees.

Now pregnant, she said she did not know who the baby's father was, adding she had slept with both the boy she was in love with and the man she was engaged to. She also said she had been raped while in detention before being sent to the Kabul facility. The girl's story offers a glimpse into the nature of Afghanistan's rudimentary justice system, underscoring the uphill task ahead as U.S. President Barack Obama calls for improving the rule of law to match military gains in the country...

A question we might pose: What good is "improving the rule of law" when the rule of law is sharia?

Update: Sorry, couldn't resist:

Well, come on all you Afghan guys
Gen. McChrystal is really wise.
Wants to woo your body parts--
Winnin' minds and winnin' hearts.
You know there's only one li'l flaw--
He's doin' it for sha-ree-ah.
And it's one, two three,
What are we fightin' for?
Might be a strategic flaw
If it's for sharia law.
And it's five, six, seven,
Pavin' our own road to Hell.
Well, it's high time that we ask ourselves
Why they'd be sidin' with the infidel?...

Ethnic 'Erotica'

SteynOnline links to a story from the Telegraph about "an online sex shop for Muslims has been launched in the Netherlands to tap into a demand for erotica that does not offend Sharia law."

Good grief. I cannot even begin to imagine what sort of "erotica" that might be. On the other hand, years ago I and my spouse were in Amsterdam and saw a video cassette (yes, that's how long ago it was) for sale in a sex shop window called--and I couldn't possibly make this up--"Yiddish Erotica." The sight of which sparked all sorts of speculation. I suggested it showed a fully clothed woman saying, "Put that thing away, Marvin. I'm in no mood." Or maybe, "Oy vey! It's sooo big--you're hung like a kishke."

Hossain Yet to be 'Ahenakewed'

Rabid Jew-hater Salman Hossain, who attended two Toronto institutions of higher learning (U of T and York) has written the following online, a clear violation of both Section 13, the state censorship component of Canada's Human Rights Act, as well as Canada's "hate speech" law in the Criminal Code:

Posting to Arizona-based website filthyjewishterrorists.com, Hossain describes Jews as “diseased and filthy”, “the scum of the earth,” “mass murderers” and “psychotic.” He further says that a “genocide should be perpetrated against the Jewish populations of North America and Europe.”...

...He also refers to the Toronto 18 bomb plot, the work of Islamist extremists, which he blames on Jews whom he accuses of inventing terrorism.

Shortly after the story broke, Hossain confirmed to a National Post reporter via a website that the posts in question were his, then later added additional comments, reiterating his support for genocide against Jews.

In an email exchange with the National Post, Hossain was adamant that he would continue with his hate campaign.

“Your hate laws are only being used to stop the truth from being spoken,” he told the newspaper. “I don’t fear telling the truth and I don’t answer to racist genocidal Jews who want to call me a hater, when Jews hate all non-Jews. It’s not my fault you people rape babies, then cry foul when someone exposes it.”

He wrote, “No one in this world can take our history away from us. Especially not the cancerous group of people calling themselves Jews or Judeo-Christians who are going to be genocided in the future.”

And yet, according to Stewart Bell's report in the National Post, our provincial Clouseaus, the same gang that has a conniption should they espy a scary swastiky scrawled on a wall (quel horreur!) are, ahem, "still investigating" whether Hossain's comments do indeed qualify as 100% gen-U-ine unadulterated "hate speech."

This isn't the first time Hossain has been "investigated". While a student at U of T

Hossain first came to the attention of Canadian counter-terrorism investigators three years ago after authoring online posts supporting terrorist attacks in Canada and calling for the killing of Western soldiers so that “they think twice before entering foreign countries on behalf of their Jew masters.”

The OPP hate crimes and extremism unit began an investigation that only wound up last year, at which point Ontario’s attorney general declined to press charges. The reason: by that time, Hossain had removed the incriminating postings, had not made hateful postings for over a year and was in the middle of rehabilitation.

Um, I don't think it took. (They tried to make him go to rehab, he said, "Allahu Akbar!, Allahu Akbar!, Allahu Akbar!")
