A law student at Edinburgh University claims he is under investigation for \u201cIslamophobia\u201d because he mocked the Islamic State.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Robbie Travers, who is also a commentator with the Gatestone Institute, posted on Facebook that another individual at the college reported him to campus authorities for making fun of the terror group.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfraid I\u2019ve been a little more quiet as I have been accused of Islamophobia because I mocked ISIS, and I\u2019m being investigated on such a ground by my University. Mocking ISIS allegedly made Islamic and minority students feel \u201cthreatened\u201d and \u201cunsafe,\u201d so goes the complainant\u2019s ramblings. Have engaged legal advice to dismiss this nonsense. Wish me luck,\u201d wrote Travers.<\/p>\n

In a subsequent post, Travers also revealed that he was being investigated for criticizing the Islamic hijab as an affront to women\u2019s rights as well as another Facebook message in which he praised Prime Minister Theresa May for not wearing a hijab.<\/p>\n

\"\"\/<\/p>\n

\u201cCan one not criticise a religion without making people feel unsafe? Can we not criticise Islam at British Universities?\u201d asked Travers.<\/p>\n

Two further complains were then made against Travers because he said drag queens should be able to perform at LGBT events, an idea labeled \u201ctransphobic\u201d.<\/p>\n

Given that Travers is gay, his concerns may have centered around the fact that ISIS throws homosexuals from the roofs of buildings, although the University of Edinburgh is apparently more concerned about hurting Muslim student\u2019s feelings.<\/p>\n

The irony of course is that by assuming Muslims would be offended by someone making fun of ISIS, it\u2019s the University which is responsible for engaging in Islamophobia by implicitly suggesting all Muslims support ISIS.<\/p>\n

Last year, another student at the University of Edinburgh\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
