They then called the Toronto Police, who eventually arrived to escort them out of the offices, through lines of hostile YSF supporters chanting angry slogans and hurling insults at them.

All I stated was they act like a "Hamas" or "Hezbollah" mob. They could be "neo-Nazis" for all I care. What I am trying to say is this; I refuse to financially support this kind of behaviour in our educational system. Please note: in the preceding comment “I did not say they were Muslims”.

What gives these students the right to carry out this violence on our campus' is beyond me. Where was the faculty security? Perhaps they were afraid of being mobbed themselves. If they are atheists then they should at least value the "human self" and if they are Muslims and or Christians then they should understand that "judgement is in Gods hands only"..."not the individual" and especially "not mob rule". Shame, shame! They do ot represent the educated elite that they are supposed to be the light of the world. They represent the dictates of illiterate Muhammadan "Hamas", or a "Hezbola" examples.

You don't have to be a Muslim, or even a terrorist, to be islamist - it is an ideology that many on the extreme left are aiding and abetting, even if they are not consciously aware of it.

It is not a militant union and the lock out had nothing to do with the Middle East conflict. The mob that embarrassingly harassed the Jewish students in the Hillel offices were not "islamists". What does that even mean? Many were not even Muslim. Islamists is a nothing word that only promotes more hate. If you want people to pass on your message you should be careful with your words and tell the truth. By misrepresenting the facts you have no right to complain when the other side inevitably misrepresents the facts. Professor Shalom Lappin's letter is meaningful and would be more affective without the commentary before hand.
