Professor  Wichman E-mail  
Claim: A Michigan professor sent  an e-mail telling Muslim students to leave 
the country. 

Status: True. 
Example: [Collected via e-mail,  2006]  
Hooray for  Michigan  State University 
(The Spartans) and Professor Wichman! 

Well, what  do we have here. Looks like a small case of some people being 
able to dish it  out, but not take it. Let's start at the top. The story begins 
at Michigan State University with a mechanical engineering  professor named 
Indrek Wichman. 

Wichman sent an e-mail to the Muslim Student's  Association. The e-mail was 
in response to the students' protest of the Danish  cartoons that portrayed the 
Prophet Muhammad as a terrorist. The group had  complained the cartoons were 
"hate speech." Enter Professor Wichman. In his  e-mail, he said the following: 

Dear Moslem Association:  
As a professor of  Mechanical Engineering here at MSU I intend to protest 
your protest. 

I am offended not by cartoons, but by more mundane  things like beheadings of 
civilians, cowardly attacks on public buildings,  suicide murders, murders of 
Catholic priests (the latest in Turkey!), burnings  of Christian churches, 
the continued persecution of Coptic Christians in Egypt,  the imposition of 
Sharia law on non-Muslims, the rapes of Scandinavian girls and  women (called 
"whores" in your culture), the murder of film directors in  Holland, and the 
rioting and looting in Paris France. 

This is what  offends me, a soft-spoken person and academic, and many, many, 
many of my  colleagues. I counsel you dissatisfied, aggressive, brutal, and 
uncivilized  slave-trading Moslems to be very aware of this as you proceed with 
your  infantile "protests." 

If you do not like the values of the West -- see  the 1st Amendment -- you 
are free to leave. I hope for God's sake that most of  you choose that option. 
Please return to your ancestral homelands and build them  up yourselves instead 
of troubling Americans. 


Cordially, I. S.  Wichman 

Professor of Mechanical Engineering 


As you  can imagine, the Muslim group at the university didn't like this too 
well.  They're demanding that Wichman be reprimanded and mandatory diversity 
training  for faculty and a seminar on hate and discrimination for freshman. 
Now the  Michigan  chapter of CAIR has jumped into the fray. CAIR, the Council 
on American-Islamic  Relations, apparently doesn't believe that the good 
professor had the right to  express his opinion. 

For its part, the university is standing its  ground. They say the e-mail was 
private, and they don't intend to publicly  condemn his remarks. That will 
probably change. Wichman says he never intended  the e-mail to be made public, 
and wouldn't have used the same strong language if  he'd known it was going to 
get out. 

How's the left going to handle this one? If you're  in favor of the freedom 
of speech, as in the case of Ward Churchill, will the  same protections be 
demanded for Indrek Wichman? I doubt it. 


Hey  folks, send this to your friends, and ask them to do the same. Tell them 
to keep  passing it around until the whole country gets it. We are in a war. 
This  political correctness crap is getting old!
