@ragingloli: “Also makes me wonder how many who are now supporting this censorship would be up in arms if the group had planned to mock muslim beliefs instead.”
Just last month, Brandeis recinded their offer to give an honorary degree to Ayaan Hirsi Ali. The way they handled this was pathetic, with groups labeling her an “Islamophobe”, which is a way to describe someone who is critical of Islam.
I’m not sure things would have gone much easier for a Muslim-mocking event – at least in “liberal” academia.
