Muslims Demand Seattle Teacher be fired for Showing Muhammad Cartoons

The collective cowardice continues. We expect this from other countries, but this uniform fear and submission in the United States is shocking.

The country was founded on freedom — freedom of speech, individual rights, equality for all. This crushing surrender to the most brutal and extreme ideology on the face of the earth portends an unimaginable end to the American experiment.

Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?

I have little faith in Seattle. They removed FBI wanted posters because “Muslims were offended.” When my organization resubmitted the global terrorism posters, we were refused. We are suing the city of Seattle.

It’s a stinkin’ cartoon. A cartoon! If Muslims can’t deal with the freedoms we enjoy in America to mock, insult, ridicule, they should not immigrate here.

And they may get it, as well. Is this America? The surrender to Sharia norms and collapse of a general understanding of the value of the freedom of speech is happening so rapidly, it’s extraordinary.

“Somali protestors demand teacher resign over Mohammed cartoons,” by Alex Stonehill and Alex Garland, Seattle Globalist, February 1, 2015 (thanks to Refugee Resettlement Watch):

Controversy over cartoons depicting the Prophet Mohammed hit home in Seattle recently, culminating in a protest outside of southend refugee service provider on Friday.

A group of Somali Americans gathered outside the Refugee Women’s Alliance (ReWA) on Martin Luther King, Jr. Way to demand the resignation of a teacher who showed the cartoons to her teenage students on the day after the Charlie Hebdo attacks in Paris.

“We’re not gonna be silent when it’s something that’s not right,” said Hassan Aden, who was one of between 15 to 20 people who attended the protest. “We’re trying to show that we’re not happy with what she did.”

The teacher, Deepa Bhandaru, recently earned her Ph.D from the UW Political Science department, and works for ReWA teaching a free class on world affairs for youth, where she showed the cartoons during a lesson on free speech and religious pluralism.

A post by the Stranger (where Bhandaru has written a number of film reviews and other articles) came to her defense, saying that she’d already sent lengthly [sic] letters of apology to her colleagues at ReWA and to a local mosque attended by some of her Somali students.

Bhandaru told the Stranger she thought the protest organizers were harping on the issue to score political points, and manipulating community members who didn’t speak English fluently. You can read the full post here (warning: the linked page contains a copy of one of the cartoons in questions).
