University of Pennsylvania President Poses with "Suicide Bomber"


As a Penn Alumnus I am horrified --but not surprised -- by the following story. Please forward it around to all you know, especially Penn alumni, who should join their voices in calling for the trustees to dismiss her.

"University of Pennsylvania president Amy Gutmann threw her annual Halloween costume party at her home Tuesday night. Among the guests was Saad Saadi, who came dressed as a suicide bomber, complete with plastic dynamite strapped to his chest and a toy automatic rifle. Worse, Gutmann posed with Saadi!

An obvious question: would Gutmann have posed with a guest--or even allowed him into her house--if he'd dressed as Adolf Hitler or a Nazi SS officer? A KKK member?

But in modern liberal circles, posing as a Palestinian suicide bomber (see his kefiya) is just fine. After all, he mainly tries to kill innocent Jews."


See the excellent website "Democracy Project" (linked below) for more horrifying pictures, and other great articles. Truly a find. Thanks, Joel.
