British professor weighs in on the Klocek case

Denis MacEoin of Newcastle University in England offers his take on Thomas Klocek's free speech struggle at DePaul.

Here's a viewpoint I've had in the back of my head, but not seen expressed before:

The ACLU has said not one word on the matter. The Association of American Professors has not lifted a finger. And the Muslim students have sent out an e-mail through DePaul, declaring a fatwa on Klocek for insulting Islam. His only hope of redress lies in taking the university to court, an action that has now been taken.

The rest of his write-up is here; MacEoin offers a good summary of Klocek's predicament as well as some other links to stories about the case, including, I'm pleased to say, a Free Republic reposting of something from Marathon Pundit.
