Muslim Student Pulls Guilt Trip Trick To Stop Campus Viewing Of American Sniper It seems that the more activist of muslim students attending American universities in this case the University of Missouri Columbia have no problem trying to book Americans on guilt trips to get their way. In recent weeks,Farah El-Jayyousi, a psychology and womens studies major at Mizzou (hows that for a combination) objected to the university showing the latest classic American film, Amercian Sniper, on campus, and wrote a long, scathing letter to the Missourian, the campus newspaper declaring: I do not feel safe on this campus and for good reason. The fact that this film is being shown, the fact that I have to explain why this film is not only problematic but harmful makes me feel even more unsafe. Showing this film will create an even more hostile environment for me and other Arab, Muslim, South Asian and people of color on this campus. Is it just me, or does she sound paranoid? If anyone doesnt feel safe on the Mizzou campus, its more likely due to the demise of the basketball program after Norm Stewart retired, but I digress. It seems that to this woman, far from being a hero, or a protector of men, Chris Kyle was a killer with no regard for human life. Americans caught in a 1300 year Holy War not of our making will disagree with El-Jayyousi, but we will defend her right to voice her opinion. She, on the other hand, wants to silence the film itself, at least on campus, even if she denies it: Lastly, I would like to clarify that this is not an attempt at censorship but an affirmation of my right to feel safe in my body and identity wherever I may be, including this campus. Freedom of speech should not come at the expense of anyones humanity and right to be viewed, talked about and treated with basic respect and dignity. I am asking that this film not be shown and that an official, public apology and explanation be issued by all parties involved in approving the screening of American Sniper on Mizzous campus. She wants an APOLOGY for AMERICANS showing an AMERICAN film depicting an AMERICAN hero on an AMERICAN university campus which happens to be state owned. How bold can one be? Sweetheart, youre going to school to learn to play mind games at a university smack dab in the middle of the United States, in a place where football cheers targeted at the archenemies include obscenities and you think THOSE people are going to take you seriously when you are calling an honest to goodness American hero a coldblooded, racist killer? Have you used any of those psychological observation skills on actual Americans, or just the ones you see on TV? To the credit of the Mizzou student association, after a pretty vocal outcry from the student body, voted to air the film on April 17 and 18, albeit with some sort of sensitivity training on the side to help students not feel sovulnerable by cultivating an inclusive campus climate. (Cant wait to hear what the engineering and ag majors have to say about that.) H/T The College Fix I would not live, work, play, etc. where I did not feel safe. I certainly would not expect an entire school to change for ME. What an egotistical twat! She needs to LEAVE and go where she feels safe. You are so misguided. Did you ever serve in the Military. Probably not so how would you know. RLTW SSG Vietnam. This guy is not a hero. He killed for recreation and personal satisfaction. I like Bradley Cooper but I am disappointed that he took on this role. I would have offered her a one way plane ticket to Isis controlled area of Iraq or Syria. The stupid muslims are angry because he shot so many of them while corn hoeing a goat. WOW ! These people have a lot of nerve. Stone her. Just kidding You should not view the movie then. Because the movie is shown on campus does not make the campus any less safe. Why should others be denied there right to see the movie just to satisfy your mental problems. How about if the movie is shown in the town will you be unsafe there? the movie is being shown nation wide will you also object to that? You are a trouble maker with a big mouth. this is America girly. we kill those that want to kill us and youre a guest here. you dont like it, then get the fuch out and go back to your killing zone sandbox!!! You dont like it get out you are not welcome in the United States of America so go stick your head back in the sand or maybe we should just behead you. Your countrymen whack each other for some seriously ridiculous reasons and you think America is bad? Better go back to Fukistan and breed goats for your husband. You attend the great Satans school and need to feel safe? Lady, you are mixed up.
