The following individual is perfectly correct. I have never ever graded anyone by their religion. The University looked at it and even though I have many Muslim students not a single one could or would show any prejudice on my part.
You're a good man Maurice. You ask the tough questions. I guess when they checked the grades you issue and found that on average you're Muslim students actually had higher grades than average, it was pretty hard to support any type of claim of harassment or unprofessional conduct. Its clear the students who filed the claims were either over-reacting, took something out of context, or were just out to make trouble. Had they had their act together, they would have debated the professor's comments rather than making personal attacks. Personal attacks are the mark of shallow immature minds. Hopefully this lesson will broaden their outlook.
This second one is also on point. I was exactly addressing this group and their cold bloded murder of hundreds of Christians in the name of Islam. So far not a single Muslim has said that this killing is wrong, to me.
He was probably referring to Boko Haram. Nothing wrong with that. Why should that rile anyone? Boko Haram is an Islamic terrorist group that has bombed and/or shot up a considerable number of places in Nigeria, including churches, schools, markets, and so on. They have killed hundreds - including fellow Muslims whom they dont consider to be "conservative enough." They may have ties to al-Qaeda. Boko Haram has told all Christians in the northern part of Nigeria, which is predominantly Muslim, to get out - or else. They want to impose Sharia law on all of Nigeria, and they are bringing the country to the brink of civil war. Boko Haram means "western education is forbidden".
Not too long ago, the United States offered to help Nigerian president Goodluck Johnathon in dealing with this group. Apparently he asked for such help. There was a meeting there with our officials and theirs.
Apparently the good professor ticked someone off. So much for academic freedom.
