Muslims are known for many things but one being a monotheistic faith. And anyone with a working brain gets that means they have a God, which says a lot about Simmons College Librarians.
Katherine Timpf discusses the idiocy that is Simmons College here
According to an “Anti-Oppression Library Guide” written by a group of librarians at Simmons College in Boston, “saying ‘God bless you’ after someone sneezes” is a microaggression against Muslim people.
Because Muslims do not believe in God? Okaaaay……. Kat Timpf quotes this horror and shows the illogic of the hard left.
“Islamomisic Microaggressions are commonplace verbal or behavioral indignities, whether intentional or unintentional, which communicates [sic] hostile, derogatory, or negative slights in relation to the beliefs and religious practices of Muslims,” the guide explains. “They are structurally based and invoke oppressive systems of religious/Chrisitan [sic] hierarchy.”
How about you actually do some research or even surf the web. Most faiths have a my religion 101 page on the internet. And they keep spiraling into more and more stupidity.
The guide explains that “Islamomisia” is another word for “Islamophobia,” which “is a systematized discrimination or antagonism directed against Muslim people due to their religion, or perceived religious, national, or ethnic identity associated with Islam.”
They made up a word. Lord have mercy! What is Islam again? A religion? Well okay then.
According to the guide, “saying ‘God bless you’ after someone sneezes conveys one’s perception that everyone is Christian or believes in God,” which is offensive because it “convey[s] people’s presumption that their religion is the standard.”
One more bloody time: these are Muslims. A RELIGIOUS GROUP you unholy blithering idiots. And crying wolf is actually more dangerous than “God bless you” post sneeze. A Monotheistic faith means they don’t worship a God to the Simmons Snowflakes? Wymyn and Omega Men please. Side note: bitch is microaggressive according to my dog Gigi. She is a proud bitch and does not want these awful critters associated with her. Thank you!
Funny thing this SDSU graduate found out in a History of the Middle East class was Muslims have an interesting history and guess what? They worship a God. God bless you to a Muslim is a phrase. And of course none of the staff of this Dolores Umbridge inspired hellhole they call a library can research.
The Pink Toad would be SO Proud! Both of them because you KNOW they were with Her. And my guess is none of these dufuses are Orthodox anything. Unless Fundamentalist Orthodox Moonbat leftwing twit is a religion. But they speak for Muslims because Muslims can’t do it themselves? Really?
All you have to do is reasearch Which was what I used the library for in college. Hell you can google and find a Muslim run site and this was what I found.
For various reasons, many people have come to believe that Muslims worship a different God than Christians and Jews. This is totally false, since “Allah” is simply the Arabic word for “God” – and there is only One God
One more time: for a group of Monotheists with a male deity. God bless you is appropriate. The Simmons Snowflakes seem to have missed that critical piece of information. Or ignored it since it kind of contradicts their utterly insulting premise. The only people who might be insulted by that phrase would be an insecure atheist.
They truly believe this utter garbage in their LibGuides (yes they call their self righteous driveling spewage that). They then whine about Merry Christmas.I get Merry Christmas is a loaded term for many. There are Christians who do not celebrate the day because it is….too Catholic. But God bless you? Come on you dunderheads. Thank God there is a bigger brighter happier world that the rest of us live in. And gosh golly gee we actually get that Muslims are religious folks. We don’t agree with them on a whole raft of issues but don’t go full stupid over a response to a sneeze.
As National Review said:
Personally, I’m not religious, but I’d never for a second think to be offended at someone telling me “God bless you” after I’d sneezed. In fact, I’m even brave enough to admit that I myself have said “God bless you” before, and never thought for a second that I could possibly be doing anything offensive. It just doesn’t seem like a big deal.
It is not that bloody difficult. So the LibGuide reduces one of the three great Abrahamic faiths into some atheist fanfiction? That seems like a microaggression to me. Because everything is political in the exhausting world these joyless numpties inhabit. Tim Allen skewers this mindset perfectly.
So does this Tweet.
If you happen to be in the library at Simmons College in Boston – and somebody sneezes — whatever you do — don’t say “God bless you.”https://t.co/sr2bZaxwDt

LOL! And frankly, people can figure out how to treat people nicely. Most religious traditions teach that. But the Simmons Snowflakes know better than all of us do. About faiths they do not respect or share. Sarcasm is fully intended.
You have the Right to be offended. You have the Right to walk away. You do NOT have the Right to tell someone else what they can or cannot say. Grow up.
I have never accepted advice from a librarian on any topic except where to find books in the library stacks. I don’t intend to start. God bless you.

Well, no, those who make the distinction are exactly right. The Mohammedans do NOT worship the god which is at the center of the Hebrew Scriptures, nor of the New Testament. They claim it is the same god, but they deny the very character of that god, meaning they worship someone different. When people do this who claim the title “Christian” we call them “cults” or “heretics”.
When you worship only your own, feeble brain, it’s difficult to wrap your meager intellect around things like “doctrine” and the metaphysical concept of “god”. These folks have a religion: sciencism. It’s like rationalism, except without the critical thinking.
(BTW, you been hanging around Marta, haven’t you? 😉 )
I am guessing that none of the Librarians are Muslim and that none of them bothered to ask any Muslims if they are offended by “God bless you”. They just assumed it is a microaggression because that’s what their college professors taught them. Their professors were taught the same by their professors who were taught the same, etc. Some professor 30 years ago thought this up, taught it to his/her students who just assumed that it was true. Over the years it became “true” by default without any evidence to back it up.
“bitch is microaggressive according to my dog Gigi”
Gigi is right. It is insulting to them to be compared to these … beings.
So saying “God Bless” is offensive to Muslims? I can live with that!
These muslims live in a Judeo Christian country. If they’re offended, please feel free to GET OUT!!!
Just wanted to note that “LibGuide” is a product name. It’s a content management system used by lots of academic libraries to easily provide curated resources and how-to guides for students. For example, a librarian could put together a LibGuide specifically for a large research project focusing on a specific time period of Chinese history. Other libraries will also use LibGuides for general educational outreach, such as in this specific case. Given how wildly leftist professional librarians tend to be, this isn’t surprising.
This just in: “Library Night” at Simmons College.

2018-2019 tuition, room & board, and activity fees for Simmons will be $56,000.00, a bargain price for fascist indoctrination when compared to Ivy League schools!
The 3 major religions that worship the God of Abraham??
Judaism, Christianity, Islam???
Does any of this sound familiar??
I’ve had muslim students who have had no problem saying “God bless you” when I sneezed. They also wished me Merry Christmas.
These librarians are crazy.
For the record, Muslims say a thing after someone sneezes that roughly translates as “God bless you”
so… yeah…
But for a muslim to rape, beat, sell, or murder a Simmons College student would be a celebration of diversity, right? I bet he wouldn’t even be charged, expelled or (gasp!) have his scholarships rescinded! That will be a great Simmons College recruiting slogan: “Come for the tolerance, stay for the gang rape of infidels!”
