UNC Student: Abrabs should be stripped naked and searched at Airports

[LiberalinNC]

Column on Arabs strikes a nerve
Student paper at UNC fires writer
By JANE STANCILL, Staff Writer

CHAPEL HILL -- The dismissal of a writer from a student newspaper over a controversial column usually would stir a tempest only on campus.
But not at UNC-Chapel Hill, a frequent battleground in the national culture wars.

In the first sentence of her opinion column Tuesday in The Daily Tar Heel, Jillian Bandes wrote: "I want all Arabs to be stripped naked and cavity-searched if they get within 100 yards of an airport."

Referring to conservative writer Ann Coulter's comment that if she ever wanted physical intimacy, she would walk through airport security, Bandes wrote: "I want Arabs to get sexed up like nothing else."

2. She's just a sweet l'il College Republican

3. Send her enlistment papers

4. sexed up? how is that a security search?

The original link doesn't work and I'm missing something here---she wants Arabs searched to the point of physical intrusion but how is that "sexed up?" She'd like them systematically sexually abused by airport security?

That ain't security lady, that's just perversion.

6. Republicans equate strip searches with sex

it's the whole domination thing. So the moral is that Arabs should be thankful they're getting free sex.

5. Someone should report her "anonymously" as having done something

which would require a full body cavity search . . .

Or maybe an anonymous tip about some illegal drug dealings in her dorm room . . .

9. this makes me sick

sadly, even unc has its share of wastes of space. i encountered several during my years as an undergrad.

interestingly enough, she is from FL. this makes me recall another "international studies" major from FL who had ties to the neocons/rel. right. just makes ya wonder...

10. I read

The Muslim Students Association's response and all I have to say is wow. They completely shredded her arguement, her article, and her credibility

11. Jillian Bandes should be arrested as an enemy combatant and ..

.. detained indefinitely without charges.

See? I can make "humorous" comments, too ... ha ha ha ...
