Double Standards

The Council on American-Islamic Relations - CAIR: Article Contents I don't know what to say about this, other than to blame Parker and Stone for this (the refrain is clearly taken from 'Team America: World Police.' Of course, me being offended by this type of thing is being oversensitive. And offense at a similar song with anti-semitic lyrics is a totally justified expression of an enlightened sensibity which speaks to the best of Western Culture. Being offended by a student in an arabic class writing 'al-qaeda' on the blackboard before class or jokes about the professor being late because he had to take the camel instead of the flying carpet is evidence that I need to 'lighten up.' Being offended by someone writing a smear on the blackboard of a Hebrew class or making Jewish jokes outside of the teacher's earshot is laudable.
