This past summer Robert Spencer, the author of "The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam," was scheduled to speak at a conference held by the Young America's Foundation, a group that works to bring the conservative message to campuses across the country.
In response, the supposed "civil rights" group, the Council for American Islamic Relations, sent a letter to YAF threatening to "pursue every appropriate legal remedy" if Spencer was not struck from the conference agenda. That is correct, a "civil rights" group was threatening to censor an individual whose political point of view they did not agree with.
CAIR's actions were but another example of an attempt at the forced submission of others to Islamic fundamentalist views. Their technique is lifted directly from the dogmatic teachings of the Koran and Hadith. They are also a reminder that the war against America, in which the left and Islam have unwittingly - or from the Islamist viewpoint, quite wittingly - teamed up, is fought on many battlefields.
Come and see Robert Spencer, the man CAIR threatened to censor, speak about "Islamo-fascism." He will be speaking next Wednesday, Oct. 24, at 7 p.m. in the Memorial Union Ballroom. It will surely open your eyes to the threat Islamic fundamentalism poses to us all.
