Interesting story about radical islam and a college campus - from Oleg Atbashian of The People's Cube:
Why I was arrested & thrown in jail by @GeorgeMasonU police
As you may have heard, on November 4th I was arrested, handcuffed, and taken to jail for posting anti-terror stickers on George Mason University campus. I was charged with "class 6 felony for destruction of property," threatened with five years in prison, and released 14 hours later on $8,000 bail posted by my wife. The court date is now set for February 14th, 2017.
You can read the full description of how it happened in a number of news stories below. Now I'd like to explain why I did it.
George Mason University (GMU) ranks number three in the top 10 most anti-Semitic campuses, with very active, rabidly anti-Israel student groups, who thrive in the school's politically correct climate. The administrators' endorsement of pro-terror activism may be explained not only by their "progressive" ideology, but also by large donations from Islamist groups tied to terror finance - two factors that have been increasingly converting American universities into Marxist madrassas. For more background, see a well-researched article about this case by Kyle Shideler.
On the weekend of November 4th, GMU was hosting a two-day national conference held by the Hamas-affiliated hate group, Students for Justice for Palestine (SJP). In this regard, prominent author David Horowitz had addressed the GMU president with an open letter, recommending to conduct an immediate inquiry into the group's activities and remove their campus privileges and funding, in order to stop harassment and intimidation of Jewish students at George Mason. That letter remained unanswered.
While I'm not Jewish myself, it is self-evident that Jews have been the "canaries in a coal mine," always targeted first before the rest of us are killed and maimed by totalitarian forces, be it Nazism in the 20th century or Islamofascism in the 21st. Israel is as much a part of Western civilization as Europe and America are. When Jews are targeted, the rest of us eventually fall into the crosshairs as well, as has been proven by multiple terrorist attacks in Europe and America in recent years. Stopping Islamic terrorism, therefore, is not just a matter of someone's decency or solidarity with the Jews. We're past the point when that was anyone's moral choice; it's now a matter of everyone's self-preservation.
It's as simple as that.

Stuff like this should have died out in the 1970's - it has been resurected by the marxist left.
