Muslim Group: Speech Is Aggression; Disruption Is Speech
Inside Higher Ed reports this morning that the Muslim Public Affairs Council defends students and others who disrupt speakers they dislike. At the University of California at Irvine last week, for example, eleven students were arrested for disrupting a speech by Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren.
Oren’s invitation came from UCI’s law school and political science department. UCI, according to a recent column in the San Francisco Examiner,
has an active--some would say, aggressive (others would say, obnoxious)--chapter of the Muslim Student Union. The UCI MSU has a, shall we say, controversial history, ranging from allegedly fundraising for Hamas to hosting virulently anti-Zionist and anti-Semitic speakers.Then comes the Muslim Public Affairs Council, which wrote a letter to the UCI chancellor. “Did the letter deplore the thuggish behavior of the Muslim students?” the Examiner columnist asked.
Enter the double standard. The MSU feels perfectly free to bring to campus speakers that Jews, friends of Israel, and others consider absolutely repulsive. And it has the right to do so (aside from providing material support to terrorists, which is forbidden by federal law). But when the MSU considers a speaker not to be kosher (as it were), it seeks to disrupt his appearance.
No, the letter asks Drake to investigate the arrests, because the hecklers were exercising their First Amendment rights:In short, to radical Muslims speech is aggression and aggressive disruption is speech.These students had the courage and conscience to stand up against aggression, using peaceful means. We cannot allow our educational institutions to be used as a platform to threaten and discourage students who choose to practice their First Amendment right.
If there are American Muslim leaders and organizations who reject this Orwellian view, now would be a good time for them to make their voices heard.

Funny, the University of California at Berkley, et al were the hotbed of anti-war demos in the 1960's. Most of the virulant and criminal activity the Islamic students demonstrate today echos the violent behavior of 45-years ago.
Except in 1968 the majority of the protestors were Liberal Jews railing against the establishment. Now it's "Conservative" Muslims railing against the Jews.
Go Figure!
Jews, who comprise the overwhelming majority of the Left and far-Left, are always in favor of people having the right to protest. And now?
The "highly-planned and organized" disruption we saw is the result of being a nation of weak fools. We are the only nation that invites our enemies to live among us. We feed them, educate them, house them, and teach them how to disrupt and insult our country, while using our own laws to avoid punishment. Then we complain? Fools have no right to complain for the problems they bring upon themselves.
I just wonder how many 9/11's it will take to make the American people wake up. One was obviously not enough.
"Jews, who comprise the overwhelming majority of the Left and far-Left, are always in favor of people having the right to protest. And now?"
---20% of Americans consider themselves progressives, 4% of the US population is Jewish, so you do the math, how can 4% be the majority? That's like saying that most rappers are white just because Eminem happens to be white.
If you read what Glenn Beck wrote about the progressives movement:
http://www.glennbeck.com/content/articles/article/198/23936/
You'll see that it had plenty of gentiles like Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, Margaret Sanger (founder of planned parenthood) among others.
In fact, most of the Jewish left is asleep while the radicals are taking over according to this article.

Bobby, in spite of the fact that i agree with his politics, it's hard to understand what Beck says because he rants like a child most of the time. I also "seriously" doubt your "4% are jews" theory. Besides, 4% of 20% is a lot of people. And jewish leftists are asleep? Here's some advise;
Don't believe everything you read, only half of what you see, and none of what you hear.
And if you look at the leading Leftists, and Leftist organizations in this country, count how many of them are run/controlled by non-jews.
"Bobby, in spite of the fact that i agree with his politics, it's hard to understand what Beck says because he rants like a child most of the time."
---Normally that's true, but his speech at CPAC was absolutely brilliant and I understood it completely.
". I also "seriously" doubt your "4% are jews" theory. "
---Actually, I was wrong, the number isn't 4% but 1.66%
There are 5,275,000 Jews in America

The population of the United States is 300 million
http://www.google.com/publicdata?ds=uspopulation&met=population&tdim=true&dl=en&hl=en&q=US+population
So, I was wrong, when I calculated what percentage is 5 million of 300 million the calculator told me 1.66%
"And if you look at the leading Leftists, and Leftist organizations in this country, count how many of them are run/controlled by non-jews."
---For every Olberman there is a Maddow and for every Soros there's a Ted Turner and a Michael Moore.
Here's an interesting article from a gentile liberal who admits they have a problem:
"Liberal anti-Semitism is more sophisticated and subtle. Even at our worst, we don't talk about Jews, we talk about 9/11 conspiracies orchestrated by agents of Mossad. We talk, as our medieval Christian and Christian Nationalist predecessors did before us, about undue Jewish control of the monetary system. Mostly we talk about Zionists, and every Jew who has a more complex perspective on the Middle East than Amy Goodman is one."

The left is simply getting back to their ancient roots, the Arab is the new master race and anyone who doesn't bow down to him is a traitor to the progressive movement.
"Therefore your assertion that "the overwhelming majority of Leftists are Jews" is wrong. And, this wouldn't be the first time you've made this claim."
---I did not make that claim, that was 3:04 AM. You owe me an apology, I was defending the Jews here.
---I did not make that claim, that was 3:04 AM. You owe me an apology,....
Now THAT'S funny!
As with 9/11, many muslims will deny that or any similar outrage involved muslims (whether wishful thinking on their part or to evade guilt by association), or they will simply claim it's a tiny minority of "un-islamic" fanatics who were the outcome of western meddling.
