Campus Fascists block Horowitz; let Muslim woman speak

In some circles, at least on college campuses, it seems we are moving into the fascism of Mussolini, Mao, and others. David Horowitz was blocked from speaking on a college campus. Let's see how it works out for the fascists tonight in denying Horowitz the right to speak and to be heard, at GWU. For shame on those who denied him his freedom of speech and denied others who would wish to hear his views. What we need is more open discussion, not less. Yet, in Islamic 'taboo', a Muslim woman - Nonie Darwish speaks openly and freely at UC Berkeley. See her words spoken freely; "As an American woman of Muslim Arab origin, I cherish the freedoms America has given me; a right all too scarce in the Middle East where speaking for human rights, women's rights, democracy and even peace with Israel is a taboo with serious consequences. "In America, I learned that no ideology or religion is beyond questioning. Ideologies that don't answer the hard questions will face intellectual bankruptcy. ... Radicals have made the slightest criticism, critical thinking and free inquiry an insult to Islam. Arab feminists, reformers and intellectuals are intimidated, threatened or killed. Even the late Egyptian novelist Naguib Mahfouz, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, was stabbed in Cairo in 1994 by a radical Muslim who claimed he insulted Islam. That is why we all must welcome an open discussion. The best weapon in the war on terror and Islamo-Fascism is the truth." I wouldn't be counting on very much truth across our college campuses today...

Thank you. I did not know who Nonie Darwish was. I know Brigitte Gabriel and her work. We do need to be aware of Islamofascism. In a "open" society, we need to know the threats and deal with them appropriately.

I have written on the need to reform Islam but not being Muslim, I don't know the best way to go about that. I'll check out your site. The awareness of Islamofascism and the work by activistists here in America needs to be brought to public attention.

Again, thank you for your link and for your comment. As Americans, we need to hear the Muslim voices against Sharia Law and we need to hear them loud and clear.

We don't need our news media pandering to the bin Ladens of the world. But we need to believe him because means every word he says about the destruction of our Western Civilization. To me, Islam needs a breath of fresh air and freedom - both are not to be found. So, speak out...

The reform of Islam must come from within, but we can use all the outside help we can get. If you would like to become a contributor to our blog, please email to info AT reformislam.org and put "BLOG ACCESS" in the subject.
