Coulter has said all terrorists are Muslims and has suggested all Muslims be barred from airlines and use flying carpets.
When the student said she didn't have a flying carpet, Coulter told her to "take a camel"
Thats just something that I think caused a bit of controversy over here, I myself though that that was distasteful and could even be considered as hate speech.
An interesting blurb from an Ontario Court of Appeals judge suggested(outside court which is a bit unusual it and of itself) that Coulter's comment, while distasteful, didn't constitute anything which amounted to hate speech(criminal) or libel/slander(civil). The students at Ottawa however, were certainly shown to be violent in both speech and actions in their actions at the University of Ottawa.
Then again, the current president of the U of O is that Liberal hack Allan Rock....
