Diamondback is the University of Maryland's student newspaper
In the newly formed End Hate Speech at UMD coalition's first public forum, student members and supporters gathered to discuss their next course of action to solicit an apology from The Diamondback's advertising department for publishing a controversial ad.
After the advertisement called "You deserve a factual look at … Muslim Arab Anti-Semitism" for the Facts and Logic About the Middle East organization ran on page three of the paper's Oct. 19 edition, students from 24 groups mobilized to try to ensure a similar ad would not appear in print again. Many of the 100 students in McKeldin Library's special events room said The Diamondback acted unethically — and several said students should consider boycotting the paper.
In a Nov. 7 meeting with two members of the coalition, Michael Fribush, general manager of Maryland Media Inc. — the private company that owns The Diamondback — said while MMI will not apologize for the ad, it will allow the coalition to publish a guest letter in the paper or provide space for the coalition to publish a rebuttal advertisement free of charge, which the company has never done.

Looks like you have to say black is white at the University of Maryland. Truth is clearly an outsider there. Not what one would hope for at a university.

Muslims are the most violent animals, The suicde murderers are not lutheran, they are filthy moose-slimes.
OK, let's follow this through...
-Islam teaches hatred of Jews.
-Vocal Muslims publicly encourage eliminating Jews in the name of Islam.
-Whole Muslim countries strive to eliminate the Jews.
-The Liberal press portrays Muslims as a noble, peaceful group, and we should not accuse them of hate speech because we misunderstand them.
Sounds like a typical news day to me.
Great great lead on a story in the dailymail!

A group of muslim girls got suspended sentences only for beating a white girl shouting "kick the white slag", their excuse was they are muslims and not used to drinking.
Maryland is full of insanely PC liberals. Howard County just passed a law extending all sorts of protections to transsexuals, meaning they are free to walk in whatever bathroom they like, and if you do anything, YOU get in trouble.
Oops, I'm sorry, they were shouting "kill the white slag", and get suspended sentences because the judge accepted their excuse that they are muslims and are not used to drinking. I'm sure the results would be the same if the roles were reversed....
Interesting that in response to an ad about getting the facts the response was to ignore the facts.
Kinda ironic.
Long-winded, but well said.
