| Muslims Ransack Thai School Over Exam Question | |
| 2008-05-02 | |
| H/T Boortz Ranchi, May 1 (IANS) The University of Ranchi Thursday hurriedly cancelled its post-graduation history paper after thousands of Muslims took to the streets protesting against a reference to Prophet Mohammed they said was derogatory. “A five-member committee has been constituted (to probe) the question paper. The examination has been cancelled,” Vice Chancellor A.H. Khan announced, shortly after his meeting with Chief Minister Madhu Koda. The question in the history paper referred to Prophet Mohammed’s life. The examination took place Wednesday. On Thursday, Muslim organisations organised a march and ransacked the university office to protest against the offending question. I recall some Partial Differential Equations exam questions that had me wanting to ransack things. The police used force to control the mob. The university then held an emergency meeting of its top officials. Chief Minister Koda said: “We have asked the vice chancellor to probe the matter and take suitable action against the person who prepared the question. We appeal to people to maintain calm.”

| #10 You know if anyone had the nerve to start shooting rioters, there would be a lot less of it. The Chinese do. Tienamen, Olympics 2008. Doesn't seem to really work too well for them, though. |

| #9 Muslims are allowed to get away with it for two reasons, one third world muslims (and they all are, no matter where they live) aren't considered civilized and hence aren't expected to act like civilized men, and two, people are afraid that if they say anything these bastards will come for them in the night and their governments won't do anything to protect them. |

| #8 You know if anyone had the nerve to start shooting rioters, there would be a lot less of it. As it stands, rioting is Muslim recess. I think that if they can't play well with others, they should be expelled from the school and given NO government benefits. Let them go live somewhere foolish enough to be a theocracy. |

| #7 interesting that the question itself was not mentioned. Allows for ones mind to wander and consider many other probable questions. good one Tu ; |

| #6 Ritoting over trurth, nice. (Even more so since muslims actually seem to be rather proud of old mo's warring and warleader days, and of islam's conquering and imperialistic streak, though when Learned Elderds are confronted about this when asked about the RoP bit, all of his 72 or so IIRC warring raids were done "in self defense", or so they say). |

| #5 Via: Times of India RANCHI: Angry groups of Muslims ransacked the main building of Ranchi University on Thursday protesting against the contents of a PG History question paper that sought comments from students on Prophet Muhammad who was described as a "trader" whose career ended as a "raider". |

| #3 Something about filty, unclean infidels just talking about old mo'; the mohamedans don't take lightly to have their own God (this is what old mo' really is, much more than the mercurial allan)'s name taken by the kufrs. |

| #2 Something about Mo being a steaming pile of pigshit, but don't quote me... |

| #1 So what was the question? Were they rioting because it asked if Mohammed was a murderous pedophile? Or because they asked the students to compare Mohammed (kill the infidel) with Jesus (love your enemies; do good to those who hurt you)? Inquiring minds want to know. |
