The Shame of Yale -- PTS

Diana West, an accomplished reporter whose work has appeared in many leading publications over the years, is best known for her knowledge and writing about the Middle East and the rise of radial Islamic states and organizations.  It is her belief that we in the West are far too complacent about the threat posed by this rise, and in particular are not doing enough to counter it.  Coincidentally she does not believe the wars in Iraq or Afgahanistan are an effective response by the West to the threat of radical Islam.  Her point of departure in these accompanying articles for this point of view is the issue involving the publication of cartoons depicting Mohammed that appeared in a Danish newspaper some time ago and the concomitant violent reaction to this event by the Moslem community in Denmark and worldwide. Recently Yale University Press agreed to publish a book about these cartoons and their significance and subsequent freedom of speech issues raised by those events in Denmark.  Her two recent articles relating to this matter are here, and here.  There's not a lot to be said about the Yale Administration in this matter other than that it is obvious that both the Administration and the student body are deeply mired in the swamp of politically correct multiculturalism.   Diana West's articles are enough to make an alumnus cringe.
