I would hardly criticize Muslims for wanting to monitor how their religion is portrayed in a secular setting. Rather, I am concerned that within what is supposed to be the "intellectual freedom" of the college classroom, any professor would be intimidated by their antics.
Are professors incapable of defending their "critical views" of Islam? If so, why are they teaching at the college level?
"Campus Watch" should be troubled by these questions.
