Trevecca Nazarene University blocks Mae Beavers event criticized as anti-Islam
Nobody must criticize Islam. How and when did Islam become the established church?
Amid criticism, Trevecca Nazarene University has withdrawn as a venue this month for a controversial event organized by Republican gubernatorial candidate Mae Beavers.
The Jan. 25 "Homeland Security Summit" will feature three speakers known by critics for espousing anti-Muslim views, including Bill French — listed on promotional materials under his pen name "Bill Warner" — Cathy Hinners and John Guandolo.
"It's kind of a who's who of Islamaphobes," said Ibrahim Hooper, communications director for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, known as CAIR.
"The themes are always the same: Muslims are about to take over the country and install sharia in place of the Constitution, and mosques are hotbeds of extremism."
Beavers released a statement on Wednesday describing Trevecca's decision as "caving to Islamic pressure" and said the university had "abandoned Biblical principles in order embrace [sic] political correctness and promote the interests of those who deny Christ."

The fact that this is what the Koran commands might be why that theme never changes. But of course, CAIR is engaged in another Koranic teaching—taqiya, meaning lying to infidels—in their attempts to prevent us from reacting to these facts until it's too late.
Islam seeks to deny First Amendment rights to others. Why, then, does it deserve First Amendment protection?
