Tomorrow night at Brooklyn College will be one for the books. Check out my column this week for WND:
Defending the West
Islamic machine tries to crush speech at U.S. college
Exclusive: Pamela Geller blasts ‘Shariah goons and their leftist lapdogs’
I am scheduled to speak at Brooklyn College this Wednesday, April 22, on “The First Amendment and Social Criticism,” and the Hamas-tied Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR, is gnashing its teeth in rage.
Story continues below advertisementIn the current climate of intolerance, hate and speech suppression on college campuses, even the fact that I was invited is a historic moment. It is rare when I (or any of my colleagues) can speak on an American college campus. While hate preachers, terror supporters and Jew-haters are welcome with open arms at U.S. universities, voices of freedom, voices opposed to jihad, Sharia, creed apartheid and gender apartheid are banned – in a not-so-subtle adherence to Shariah blasphemy laws.
The current post-freedom era hosts the most stifling and crippling rules of intellectual engagement (what little there is of “engagement”). University campuses, once the home of great debate and discourse, have come under the boot of Shariah goons and their leftist lapdogs.
Perhaps this invitation is a turning point, and we can begin to push back against the overwhelming leftist/Islamic machine that has seized absolute control of university life. But as expected, the Hamas goons and Shariah enforcers at the UAE-designated terror group CAIR are bullying and intimidating Brooklyn College administration officials, first to cancel my talk, and then to “protect” Muslim students. We can’t have an honest discussion on “Free Speech and Social Criticism,” now, can we? Not if we are to be subdued, subjugated and Shariah compliant.
Hamas-CAIR likes to pretend that it’s for free speech. Ryan Tack-Hooper, staff attorney for CAIR-Philadelphia, said this about my ads in Philadelphia opposing Islamic anti-Semitism: “SEPTA’s refusal to air the ads was no doubt motivated by their disgust with the ad – a disgust we share. The First Amendment protects everyone, the hateful and the loving alike. Instead of suppressing dishonest and offensive speech, the American tradition is to respond with speech of our own. You can be sure we will do so.”
But instead of responding with speech of his own, Hamas-CAIR top dog Ibrahim Hooper started hounding Brooklyn College officials as soon as he heard that I was invited. The warmonger kicked off his emails to them with “peace.” What contempt this nasty cynic has for the infidel. His subject line was, “Is Brooklyn College Really Hosting the Nation’s Leading Islamophobe?”
This is what Hooper is so afraid of – I’ll be discussing:
Why the freedom of speech was placed first in the Bill of Rights;
How the freedom of speech is the foremost protection against tyrannical government;
The spurious distinction between “free speech” and so-called “hate speech” – and how it is used to erode First Amendment rights;
“Islamophobia”: Why this term amounts to little more than the enforcement of Shariah in the marketplace of ideas;
Why speech that is offensive to some must not be curtailed, but protected;
Civility vs. freedom: Why “offensive speech” must be legal and protected in a genuinely pluralistic society.Hooper failed to get my talk canceled, so CAIR then issued an alert “calling on Brooklyn College to protect Muslim, Arab students after appearance by hate group leader.”
Protect them from what? Protect them from whom? They are in no danger. It’s the Islamic groups like Muslim Brotherhood MSA and SJP that present a very real and present danger to Jewish students and those who stand with Israel.
CAIR’s premise is so absurd. The students who are being menaced on college campuses today are not Muslims, but Jews. Muslim groups such as Students for Justice in Palestine, or SJP, and others have made college campuses unsafe for Jewish students. See here for details about how Jews are under assault on campuses nationwide. Much of this violence is perpetrated by Muslims. And in 2013, the SJP had four Jews ejected from a Brooklyn College BDS event, claiming they were being disruptive; however, audiotape of the event proved that they were sitting quietly, and this claim was a lie. They were simply being bullied by the Muslim students. Brooklyn College has a history of allowing Muslim students to host offensive and libelous anti-Israel presentations.
So CAIR is employing its typical projection, trying to deflect attention away from increasingly aggressive and predatory Muslim students on campus and portray Muslims as victims of marauding counter-jihadists who exist only in Ibrahim Hooper’s fevered mind.
Come and listen to what Hamas-CAIR and its friends and allies desperately don’t want you to know. I’ll be speaking in the Penthouse Conference Center at the Brooklyn College Student Center (SUBO) building at 7 p.m. on Wednesday evening. If you want to attend, email me and I will put your name on the list. There is no entry fee and you do not have to be a Brooklyn College student, but you do have to be on the list. So email me ASAP – and stand with me for free speech.

Give ’em hell! What you’re doing is wonderfully subversive of the dominant and stiffling red/green alliance we see at so many universities these days. Throw open the windows and let the fresh air in!

Ah, the poor little flowers at Brooklyn college… To have their wilted minds re-invigorated by some simple plain truths. It will be most educational for them to look at their own oppressive stance in the face of the actual truth and realise that they have been duped in the most spectacular way, ever. Hell, they might even walk out!
I hope they don’t. They may be able to walk out of the lecture hall, but it won’t be so easy to walk out of the islamic hell hole they are digging for everybody.
Good luck, and keep safe.

it’s very good the Pamela Geller and her team not cave in to any power or influence by CAIR. or any other Islamic group that may try to block her or keep her from letting the American people know the truth. This strong mindset towards that is true and right is needed in America today. Therefore the wisdom of Thomas Jefferson may apply now just as much now as in his own time. For Mr. Jefferson had stated “Our part then is to pursue with steadiness what is right…assured that the public approbation will in the end be with us.”

I think most kids know wh#t is right and wrong at age 6. Stop saying their brains are not adult until their twenties. That is an excuse for their parents. I would think any American or Canadian kids brought up right in the Christian world would instead,tosee something wrong, deluded and barbaric by Is beheading enemies. Teachers of Christian children are squeamish as they should be. Teachers of Islam may have no problem with be headings. As a teacher, where do you fall, assuming you are not. On strike?

Islam can be easily studied and known in its entirety, by anyone. It will never change!
So, when Western people won’t educate them *selves* about islam because our culture defers all thinking to those “authorities” we PAY to do our thinking and research for us, while they secretly know full-well that the salesmen in charge will always sell us all out, they ARE CRIMINALLY NEGLIGENT INFANTILE DELINQUENT TRAITORS TO RATIONALITY AND CIVILIZATION!
It should never be allowed by backwards people to be considered “illegal” to accuse these criminals (muslims) of their crimes, allegedly because the painful truth might offend them or hurt their feelings, and so “make” them commit even more crimes!
No problem was ever solved by ignoring it, and nobody is doing even these muslims any favours, by indulging their historic lies that islam is a “religion” (at all, much less one “of peace”) or a “race” (much less one of poor oppressed “People Of Colour”)!
Pretending there is NOT a Muslim problem but only a white racist problem accepting diversity, is criminally negligent TREASON.

The modern liberal “Education System” not only no longer teaches kids how to think, or even what to think, but only how not to think at all – how to remain entitled to being irresponsibly wrong.
Modern “education” only “teaches” (abuses kids with) liberal corruption – they inflict their own infantile delinquency and criminal negligence by offering them alibi-excuses to NOT have to think for them selves:
“Life is too complex for us helpless fallible and so, potentially dangerous mistakes to ever understand cause and effect, so, “since” all facts are therefore really only opinions anyway, our subjective, entirely fact-free opinions are the diversely opposite equals to those silly Conservatives’ objective facts! Whee! And remember, kids: There’s No Wrong Answers!”
To pretend there is no evil crime, and no evil criminals because everyone’s really only a helpless victim, they pretend to a predetermined inevitability excuse: Marxist historical determinism, that people are all helpless victims of society, mere products of their environments, and slaves of allah.
And of course their inevitability alibi involves unavoidable mob-rule extortion, for which idolatrous group rights serve them well:
Ever try arguing with a liberal? It’s pointless trying to use facts to educate people who have been taught that the truth doesn’t exist!
They’ve really only declared a confession of non-compus-mentis!
And their favorite deflection is the childish critical thinking logical fallacy called the Argumentum Tu Quoque, which only amounts to trying to compare two unrelated wrongs in order to pretend to make one of them into a right:
“There’s no evil crime or criminals because we (i.e: you) all do it, too! Whee!”
Beyond that, their crime is all about the objectification: victim-blaming “defensively pre-emptive” slander.
They embrace the slanderous philosophy that the best “defense” is a good offense, to keep their opponents on the defensive so they will remain emotionally off-balance and so never be able to (counter-)attack ‘first!’
Only lying thieves (fraud being the most basic form of theft, the theft of the Truth) slanderously pretend their victims are too dumb to be educated!
The “elites” – including the “education” elites – are cowardly masochists who always want to form ever-larger gangs to protect them selves; they are all about the double-standards of subjectivism, and so oppose universal objectivity; they want rights without responsibilities, and so must offload their responsibilities onto their victims.
The reason they embrace might-made group “rights,” is both offensive and defensive: they can always assert they are “defensively protecting” others if and when they can make even a tenuous connection between some others at least somewhat similar to them selves who, somewhere else, at some other time, were oppressed by some other people who were sort of like YOU; in which case, YOU OWE THEM!
The corollary is that if and when they get caught for their crimes, they can always use the group idol as an alibi-excuse to dilute their own culpability:
“I didn’t do it! ONLY the GROUP did it! Whee!”
(Substitute “The System,” &/or “The Procedures” or your choice of idolatry for “The Group!”)
I’m pretty sure the main strategy AND subsequent tactics of liberals is to always generalize to dilute personal responsibility. It’s why they endorse group rights and responsibilities and absolutely hate factual cause-and-effect specifics. Generalizations are lies and exaggerations used to hide all the specific details of their individual criminal culpability. And they also get to blame specific victims for general group membership responsibilities, too!
They are criminals.
;-(
By abusing kids with the silly notion that they’re entitled to not be “offended” or have their “feelings hurt” by the often painful truth of new ideas, these crooks are short-circuiting the most basic thinking and learning process itself – because in humans, all new ideas are initially met with rejection (as has been known since at least Aristotle to Elizabeth Kubler-Ross these days)!

ALL COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY CAMPUSES “TEACH” (ABUSE) KIDS THESE DAYS, IS SEDITION!
Like their globalist bankster donors, owners and sponsors, they are against all sovereign national governments!
And, as such their curriculums should be gone over with a fine-tooth comb ASAP!
…
In stead of teaching kids how to think for them selves, or even what to think, all the so-called “education system” seems to do these days is teach kids how to not think at all – how to avoid thinking entirely. It thus only indoctrinates them into remaining infantile delinquents, (worse than the juvenile kind) dependent on the nannystate for all direction in their lives. It only ‘teaches’ them (abuses them) to enjoy slavery, to pave their own roads to hell with good intentions, and to look forward to the trip.
Abusing kids with these false notions of “entitlement,” (to rights without concomitant corollary responsibilities) is a crime. It also short-circuits the basic learning process, where exposure to unfamiliar ideas only STARTS with denial, but then moves on to acceptance. Liberals insist kids have the false right to remain irresponsibly wrong, to not be “offended” by having their “feelings hurt” by initial exposure to the often-painful Truth.
Their proud motto of “And always remember, kids – there’s no wrong answers!” corrupts kids into stopping learning at the point of their initial “But I don’t want to learn it!” reactions, depriving them of both their responsibility and their rights to learn to become self-reliant and responsible adults.
…
And these proglodytes are also mostly “taught” SEDITION (abused by the false and backwards notion) that “Nations Cause Wars!”
To them, the idea of “nations” and “nationalism” only began during the Enlightenment, and was a concept – exactly like that of “greedily” owning, hording (and improving!) personal property, which was an idea deliberately invented by racist white people (including, of course, the Jews) to create exclusivist borders and restrict the movements of all those noble swarthy collectivist tribal savages on the planet.
Ignoring the fact that all the nations on earth evolved organically over time, from families to clans to tribes to nations to states and eventually empires, they “reason” in their usual, literally backwards, pre-posterous ways, that, in order to achieve world peace, they must first destroy the concept of “nations!”
That way those who destroyed their nations won’t have to feel jealous anymore about those who didn’t.
And they hate Israel the most, because it is the most successful nation, the main one to disprove their fantasy claims.
