More PC nonsense: Saying "God bless you" after sneezing is "Islamomisic microaggression", say Boston college librarians

In the latest absurd news to come from liberal college campuses, a group of librarians at Simmons College in Boston have declared that saying "God bless you" when someone sneezes is Islamophobic.

The group has created the Anti-Oppression Library Guide, which also dictates that saying "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Easter" is an act of "Islamomisic microaggression."
"Islamomisic Microaggressions are commonplace verbal or behavioral indignities, whether intentional or unintentional, which communicates hostile, derogatory, or negative slights in relation to the beliefs and religious practices of Muslims," the librarians argue. "They are structurally based and invoke oppressive systems of religious/Christian hierarchy."
The group claims that "Christian fragility" is to blame for these "microaggressions."


Comment: Wouldn't have anything to do with "Islamic fragility" or just snowflake SJW fragility, of course.


"They also argue that Christians suffer from 'Christian fragility' and may become angry, hostile, or defensive during conversations about religion, speculating that this happens because Christians lack 'skills for constructive engagement with [religious] difference' due to the fact they are the dominant religious group," Campus Reform reports.

Only six percent of the British public support UK arms sales to Saudi Arabia, a new poll has revealed on the eve of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's three-day trip to the country.

According to the survey, commissioned by Campaign Against the Arms Trade (CAAT), there is very little British support for the multi-billion-pound arms sales to the Arab kingdom, despite the thousands of jobs in the UK that are reportedly reliant on the trade.

The polling carried out by Populus also indicated that 37 percent of people in the UK opposed the visit of the crown prince to the UK, with only 21 percent in favour. Twenty-seven percent expressed no opinion.

Activists have been highly critical of the visit by MbS, which takes place as the Saudi-led bombardment of Yemen continues unabated, with over 10,000 people thought to have been killed in the war.

"The regime has carried out atrocities against Saudi people for decades, and has inflicted a terrible humanitarian catastrophe on the people of Yemen. It is time for Theresa May and her colleagues to end their shameful support for this appalling autocracy," said CAAT spokesperson Andrew Smith, in a statement.

Comment: Evidently, for the UK government money trumps human rights and public opinion, by far:

Passengers aboard a United Express flight travelling from San Francisco to Boise, Idaho, were in for a rude awakening after an "unruly passenger" attempted to open the cabin door mid-flight to everyone else's bemusement.

Despite the incident, the flight kept its course without declaring an on-board emergency. All 73 passengers aboard the plane were unharmed.

One passenger from California recalls what he witnessed aboard the United Express Embraer 175 Flight 5449, operated by SkyWest Airlines, on Monday. He first noticed the commotion while sitting behind her and thought that she was just a nervous flyer.

While speaking on March 2nd at a press conference on opioids at an inpatient facility that treats newborns suffering from prenatal drug exposure, U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar proclaimed that "there really is no such thing as medical marijuana" in response to a question regarding what he sees as the role of medical marijuana as an alternative to opioids for pain management. Azar went on to say, "There is no FDA approved use of marijuana, a botanical plant. I just want to be very clear about that."

Azar, who was the president of the U.S. division of Eli Lilly & Co. from 2012 to 2017, added that the government will invest hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars into "next generation pain therapies" as an alternative to opioids.


Comment: One wonders whether Azar's former employment is hazing his judgement: Study Finds: Medical cannabis superior to opioids for chronic pain


Comment: Clearly, for some, financial investments and beliefs are more important than the freely available scientific data:

Confessions of the Vatican's favorite male escort: Fraud, embezzlement, drug dealing, extortion and money laundering

Father Luca Morini did not practice what he preached. In fact, the Catholic priest apparently did a lot more than preaching at the two parishes he led in rural Tuscany where he earned the nickname "Don Euro" and where he now faces charges for fraud, embezzlement, drug dealing, extortion, and money laundering.

His impropriety was first exposed after a male escort named Francesco Mangiacapra discovered that the consensual sex-for-hire relationship he had with Morini, who he thought was a high-powered judge, was not quite what it seemed. Mangiacapra, who trained as a lawyer but who apparently found the male-escort business more profitable, had made the discovery quite by chance, when he recognized his high-dollar client in priest garb.

Conservative media under attack: Here are some of the prominent conservative websites who are victims of the tech giant purge list

Tech Giants Google and Facebook are currently purging conservative content from Facebook and YouTube. They are hiding conservative stories on Google. They are shadow-banning conservative news on all social media.

In February, Facebook launched a new algorithm to ensure that conservative news would not spread on the social media platform. The algorithm change caused President Donald Trump's engagement on Facebook posts to plummet a whopping 45%.

In contrast, Senators Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Bernie Sanders (I-VT) do not appear to have suffered a comparable decline in Facebook engagement.

Comment: Because the tech giants have an internal culture of radical left-wing authoritarianism, it's unsurprising that they are making moves to censor any voices that fall outside of their ideological position. One can only assume there will be a mass migration to alternative platforms, where such blatant bias is held in check, in the near future.

France: Age of consent to be 'set' at 15 after outrage over men who raped 11-year-old girls weren't charged

Equality Minister Marlène Schiappa has welcomed the decision to set the age of consent at 15
Equality Minister Marlène Schiappa has welcomed the decision to set the age of consent at 15
France is to set the legal age of consent at 15 after outrage when rape charges were not brought against two men accused of having sex with two 11-year-old girls.

The age will be set in an amendment to the Code penal and Equality Minister Marlène Schiappa said she was delighted that "after consultations with citizens and an experts' report" the age of 15 had been recommended.

At present, there is no age of consent in France and sex with an under-15 is only a crime if it has been forced. The new law will mean under-15s will not legally be able to consent to sex. In the cases of the 11-year-old girls, the men had been able to say no force was used and they were charged with a sex offence involving a minor. One man was acquitted - the prosecution has launched an appeal - and the other case is continuing.

Comment: According to: Is France Attempting to Normalize Pedophilia?
New Draft Law

Amid public shock at the idea that an 11-year-old child could be deemed able to consent to sexual intercourse with an adult, the French government - represented by the Minister of Justice, Nicole Belloubet, and the Minister of Women's Rights, Marlene Schiappa - announced a new draft law that aims to 'solve the problem' by setting an age of consent at 13 years old.

Note, this does not mean that the age under which it is illegal to have sexual relations with a child in France has been dropped from 15 to 13, but rather that if the sexually abused child is at least 13 years old, then the courts may presume that consent was given.

The minister of justice has been pretty clear about this point and publicly stated:
"13 years would be an age that seems to me to correspond to what the High Commission for Equality between Women and Men advocated and which other foreign countries have advocated"
While the French government and mainstream media laud this development as evidence of great societal progress, they only focus on the two latest abnormal precedents and forget that there was already an implicit age of consent - 15 years old - that was almost always enforced by courts, for decades. So what is depicted as great progress in laws protecting the child is, in practice, a major regression where the age at which a child can be presumed to have consented to sex with an adult has been dropped from 15 to 13. The result being that adults accused of sexual abuse of a minor (between 13 and 15 years old) will likely be given lighter sentences.
