University Wants To Get Rid of Nickname “The Crusaders”

Jihad Watch 

This is just another indication of the all-pervasive fact that the West has lost its cultural confidence, its pride in its history, and its willingness to defend its heritage. The Crusades were actually a late and small-scale defensive response to 450 years of Islamic jihad aggression, but the administrators at Susquehanna University (Pennsylvania) don’t know that, and wouldn’t care if they did. Nor are they in the least bit curious about why their predecessors chose the Crusader nickname in the first place; those people were all racists, doncha know, and now we’re enlightened.

“The school said Monday it had narrowed its list of 400 suggestions to five choices: the Susquehanna Bobcats, Explorers, Phoenix, River Hawks and River Otters.” Oh, come on, folks. Those choices show a real failure of imagination. How about something that shows some continuity with the discarded nickname — a nod to Susquehanna University’s proud heritage, and something that shows the real transition that is being made? How about the Susquehanna Dhimmis? Or maybe the Susquehanna Milk al-Yamin?

  1. Yeah, who wants a mascot that is a symbol for procrastination.

    They did procrastinate a few hundred years before they took the fight to the home countries of the Mohammedans who had been raping and beheading them in their home towns for generations.

    They were darn slow to rise up and drive the murderers out of Europe by attacking them in their own home countries. The current generation appears doomed to repeat the mistake.

  2. Is it ignorance, arrogance, or has God blinded us to our peril? The problem of the “Decline of the West” and its imminent suicide is perplexing, inasmuch as all the evidence is obvious.

  3. How about the Susquehanna Pussies or Pansies? Bobcats won’t do because they are mean nasty critters and Explorers is a no go either since there is nothing these fools would find worth exploring since that might be oppressive to any native tribes they might meet while out exploring. The Nothings would make a good name since nothing is inoffensive except to those who believe in something like words mean things. The Weenies might also work. Or The Perpetually Offended Know Nothings.

  4. Well, it wouldn’t be US, you know, to name a team after a group of men that saved their people from murdering, bloodthirsty savages. Just call them the Dhimmis or the Decapitated.

  5. The Headless Horseman is an old historic name.

    The state insect is the Firefly. The Headless Fireflies.
    The state fish is the Brook Trout.. The Headless Trout.
    The Headless Ruffed Grouse. The Headless Great Danes could also be in play.

    Anything Headless is pretty scary.
