Muslim student wants to censor showing of “American Sniper” on campus

This is from The College Fix.

It says:

[A] Muslim student activist who declared showing the film on campus would make her feel “unsafe” and demanded an “apology and explanation” as to how and why the movie was even selected for Mizzou audiences.

The uproar was taken quite seriously, and prompted the student government to conduct a meeting to determine whether the flick should be shown.

“This film is blatant racist, colonialist propaganda that should not be shown under any circumstances and especially not endorsed by a branch of student government that purports to represent me and have my best interests in mind,” student Farah El-Jayyousi had stated.

She made the comments in a letter to the editor to the campus newspaper earlier this month, denouncing the decision to show the blockbuster – the highest grossing film of 2014. El-Jayyousi accused the movie of dehumanizing Muslims and glorifying the murder of Iraqis, and referred to Chris Kyle, the Navy SEAL featured in the film, as “a killer with no regard for human life.”

What do you think she is studying to have such blindness to the violence and anti-woman discrimination in the Middle East? She is double-majoring in psychology and women’s and gender studies. Of course!

Let’s just see what sort of violence happens in the Middle East.

This is from the leftist BBC about the conflict in Syria:

Some 6,000 women have been raped since the start of the conflict in March 2011, the Euro Mediterranean Human Rights Network (EMHRN) says.

A spokeswoman for the group said these women were then socially stigmatised, and often forced to flee their homes.

Women are being targeted by snipers and used as human shields, often with their children, the report also says.

Violence against Women, a Bleeding Wound in the Syrian Conflict is based on interviews with victims and medical staff in the first half of 2013.

The report describes how hundreds of Syrian women have been subjected to arbitrary arrests and enforced disappearances and have undergone various forms of torture, in state detention facilities.

[…]The report also says the kidnapping of women has also become a strategy of exchanging prisoners and exacting revenge, and that the nature of the crimes – rape and gang-rape – leaves many women isolated.

That’s not a concern to our Muslim student. She is more concerned about soldiers who go to the Middle East to try to liberate women from the rule of regimes that genitally mutilate them, honor-murder them, keep them illiterate, stone them, rape them, imprison them and “marry” them when they are still children. And so on. That’s what she is learning to parrot at an American university. And of course she learns that sex-selection abortions are the height of women’s rights, too.

Imagine if a Christian student went to a Muslim university (is there one that accepts women in Afghanistan? Oh right, there isn’t) and wrote a similar article, but against the practice of genital mutilation in Mali, for example. What would happen to her, do you think? Exactly. But that’s not a concern to our intrepid Muslim student. It must take some powerful self-deluding to be this self-contradictory, but that’s why we have non-STEM departments in universities, isn’t it?

  1. Im pretty sure she is aware if the violence in the middle east but she does not live nir attend university there she lives in america where she probably has people give weird looks and probably tell her go back to irag or whatever country she is from cause this america and we dont tolerate terrorist.

    She has a right just like anyother american citizen to oppose a film that shows her people in a negative light. Dont you ask a christian do the same thing on your blog speak out about the injustice to god fearing people? Yes you do so why shouldnt she do the same. Both islam and christianity are not perfect,both have flaws and both are in the hands of people who for good or ill can use a religion to either uplift or oppress.

    Many films like American Sniper do show not only muslims but our soldiers in a very bad light. Not all muslims are terrorist and many muslim like Malia are fighting for democracy and equality for women in their countries. Our soldiers arent heartless mindless robots with no compassion. Im pretty sure having to kill another human being whether they have done something bad or not is hard, you’re taking a life and for some of these terrorist regimes they recruit children. Many soldiers develop ptsd and it shouldnt be surprising war is ugly and both sides lose many casualties.

  2. I also wanted to add that both america and the middle east oppress women in their own way. In america a woman if she wants has the ability to dress like a complete harlot and our society is okay with that. Majority of womens clothing even your trying to dress modestly is design to emphasize a womens’ curves and men are visual beings which is why woman and not men wear lingerie to arouse their spouse. In the middle east women are told to completely cover up from head to toe even their little girls as not to intice men but these women and young girls still get raped. So its not the clothes that they are wearing that is inticing them so what is it? Its simple there are some sick individuals in these world that use excuses of a womens clothing to try and justify why he decided to rape her.

    I read an article where a little was sent home from school becuase her ankles were showing and she was inticing her male teachers. How does a 5 year sexually intice an grown man?
