    No, this certainly didn't happen because a professor that tried that would be out of a job (it has no place in a classroom) and the marine would be in a correctional facility.



    No one in their right mind would do this on either side but I think many would find it an amusing.



    Ironicly on 9/11 there were reports on at least two different college campuses that I know of when Muslim students had happy reactions to the terror attacks. I guess that puts them in the place of the.class in this story.



    The only difference really is that on 9/11 people that never did a thing to insult Muslims were killed instead of just knocked out.



    I think I will take a fake story that helps some people blow off some frustration about the self.righteous 'people of faith are idiots' attitude....over people going and rioting in the streets and killing innocents....any day.

    mewold my friend--do you mean the same kind of "feel good" that comes when you first stop banging your head against the wall? If so, I agree so burn one for me!

    It sure as hell didn't make ME feel good. As newday has also pointed out, this doesn't represent any kind of Christianity which I am comfortable with. And as I previously said, I am a church member.

    Interesting comments here and I, for one, agree with all of them at least partially. The story was a "feel good" story and in that sense, it succedded.

    Not withstanding Grey and Sara's comments...

    How does this act of violence represent the core of what Christianity is supposed to be?

    Neither that allegorical "marine" nor you sir are a recommendation for Christianity.

    Having read some of your previous posts I'm some what surprised to see you come out with this type of jingoism.

    First, this most certainly didn't happen -- it is just a new version of an old internet legend that makes the rounds with a few changes every so often. Second, it is quite inaccurate in several other ways; such as, the ACLU does NOT dispute the reality of God. (I, for example, am a member of the ACLU AND a member of a Christian Church. There is no contradiction.) Nor would any professor do what this one did. He (or she) would be reported and censured for it. I work at a University -- this is a clod's view of what a lecture is like, there are none like this in reality. None. Also, had the marine (in some versions it's a navy seal) done this, he would be --rightfully -- arrested for assault and battery. Mindless violence is held up for admiration in this -- sort of like how terrorists or street punks also hold mindless violence up for applause.

    or perhaps God did send in the Marines....



    It's one thing to ask for it...it's another to have it forced on you Coyote.



    The professor...he asked for it.

    I happen to know and like you Bluegeorgia and you too Mewold. But you are not thinking clearly on this one.



    The fact that some people lack the intellect to defend their ideas with anything except violence is the very reason that marine and all the other service people (including kids of mine) are risking their lives in the Middle East.



    Think about it - there is no difference in what you are applauding and a moslem extremist feeling free to use violence to "defend" their religion.
