A new low in dhimmitude...

This time, from pointy-headed academicians...

NEW YORK (MNA) – An academic delegation of Columbia University professors and deans of faculties plans to visit Tehran to officially apologize to Iranian President Mahmud Ahmadinejad. The delegation plans to express regret for the insulting remarks Columbia University President Lee Bollinger directed at Ahmadinejad on September 24 in his introductory speech, the Mehr News Agency correspondent in New York reported.

To borrow a line from an Andrew Lloyd Weber masterpiece, keep your hand at the level of your eye, gents.

And, oh yes, don't forget to bow toward Mecca at the proper times while you're there. They'll probably get awfully testy if you don't.

Bon voyage.
