Lynn S. at Reflections in d minor has nice things to say about us, and we thank her and welcome her readers. For the others: her weblog is centered around classical music, but she covers a lot of other things as well, and often; and she has prolific links.
The story she refers to -- the Protocols update (two posts below this one) -- got another update on Sunday. Susanna Klein, the UC Berkeley student who challenged her Arabic instructor, explains exactly what happened in a letter to the student paper (copied to littlegreenfootballs). Just two chilling excerpts:
I asked him repeatedly if he was certain that he believed "the Protocols" to be a document written by Jews. He assured me that he did. Hoping desperately that there must be some mistake, I phrased my question differently and asked him if he didn't believe it to be a forgery. He laughed and said, "Who would have forged it, Muslims?"
I find it shameful that no other student save myself had the decency to speak against Mr. Kadhim's anti-Jewish diatribe. One student is quoted as calling me "belligerent."
Better to be belligerent than spineless.
