Imagine if a college anywhere offered a course on the Koran entitled “texts of terror” delving into the “erasure of woman. Ethnic cleansing and genocide.”

That would lead to riots, terrorist attacks and, worst of all, craven apologies.

A professor recently was hounded out of teaching an art class because she merely displayed pictures of Mohammed produced by devout Muslims.

But it’s okay. This is about Christian and Jewish religious texts.

New York taxpayer funded college offers class teaching the Bible as a "text of terror"

but they'd never allow a course showing that the Muslim Koran promotes terrorism https://t.co/gp27Cp3HmS

Queens College, part of the City University of New York system, and thus publicly funded, offers  PHIL250: Plato and the Bible” through “Texts of Terror, an exploration of violence in the bible”  which promises to cover “erasure of woman. Ethnic cleansing and genocide” to “critically examine the ‘texts of terror’ of the Hebrew Bible: The first bloody chapters of the book of Genesis, the genocidal texts of the book of Exodus” all the way through “the Episles of Paul and finally the apocalyptic books of Daniel and Revelation.”

Apart from the misspellings and the general flavor of ignorance that runs through this description is the simple fact that there’s only one religion conducting a campaign of genocide in the world and it’s the one whose texts can’t be taught in any matter other than the slavishly respectful.

It’s also the one no one is allowed to make fun or critique.
