A victory for the freedom of speech: Wilders to speak at Temple despite Muslim attempts to silence him

The thugs of the Muslim Students Association can't answer him, so they tried to silence him. This time, they failed.

The Muslim Students Association, by the way, was named as an allied group of the Muslim Brotherhood in the Brotherhood internal document that explained the Brothers' mission in the United States as a "grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and 'sabotaging' its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God's religion is made victorious over all other religions."

None of that, of course, makes the Philadelphia Inquirer. Nor does the Inquirer note that Wilders is "anti-Islamic" essentially for quoting the Koran and showing how Islamic jihadists use it to justify violence and supremacism.

"Temple allows Dutch speaker with anti-Islamic views," by Robert Moran for the Philadelphia Inquirer, October 20 (thanks to James):

A controversial Dutch politician with anti-Islamic views will be allowed to speak at Temple University this evening despite calls by Muslims that he be prevented from giving an address on campus.

Geert Wilders, a member of the Dutch parliament, has called for a halt to the immigration of Muslims to the Netherlands and a ban on the Quran.

On Friday, he was allowed to visit Britain after a court ruled that a government prohibition against his presence was unjust. He called the court ruling "a victory for the freedom of speech."

During his British visit, according to multiple news accounts, Islamists protested outside where Wilders spoke, holding placards that read: "Islam Will Dominate the World" and "Sharia for the Netherlands." They also chanted, "Free speech go to hell."...

"Temple University is a community of scholars in which freedom of inquiry and freedom of expression are valued," the university said in a statement yesterday. "We respect the right of our student organizations to invite people who express a wide variety of views and ideas."

The Muslim Students Association asked the university to reject his visit. "The Muslim population at Temple feels attacked, threatened, and ultimately unsafe that Mr. Wilders has been invited to voice his hate-driven opinions," the association said....

Pfffft! What a bunch of whiners!

Muslims are worse than Poms (People from Great Britain) when it comes to whinging and that takes some doing!!! Apologies to anyone from GB!!

absolutely "hate-driven opinions" generated from a thorough knowledge of the evils that imposition of Sharia Law will accomplish. way to go Temple.

I guess the truth hurts............

At least the newspaper reported what the SIGNS said. "Freedom go to hell .."

Those say it all right there.

All news reports need to be "balanced" even if that makes them untrue through omission. Facts plainly stated are nowadays deemed "bias". It's not about WHAT is reported; it's the impression left by the report. The media is leveling the playing field of unpleasant facts. That's the way to a clearly bias-free society where everybody knows just what to think.

"The Muslim population at Temple feels attacked, threatened, and ultimately unsafe

This first appears as some have stated as whiners but I contend it is true. This is what the Muslim project will happen to them when the sleeping west wake up the threat of Islam. Put another way, this is what they want the infidels to feel not them.

It is all so perverse, deceptive and based on evil it is almost to much to comprehend. Pride, arrogance and misplaced self esteem also come to mind.

Sorry, that should read ""The Muslim population at Temple will make all unbelievers feel attacked, threatened, and ultimately unsafe if Mr. Wilders is invited to voice his opinions, as we don't want impressionable minds to be shown the truth."

I think you're right. And so is 'Question Everything' who has run the statement through that handy little 'Islamspeak decoder' which regulars here soon acquire.

It's what the Muslims *fear* will happen to *them*, if we in the free non-Muslim world wake up to their little game...and the reason they fear it, is because it's what *they* would do to us, if the positions were reversed.

Muslims are frightened that the non- muslims / Infiedels are getting to know the truth. The truth on the Koran/ Hadiths are getting out and muslims will do anything to hide it. But in this mordern times its difficut to hide what was going on since 1400 years. Wilders go on take on this cult of satan/ death

""The Muslim population at Temple feels attacked, threatened, and ultimately unsafe that Mr. Wilders has been invited to voice his hate-driven opinions," the [Muslim Students Association] said"

If these concerns are based in reality and not merely on Wilders-o-phobia, which is a specialized type of Islam-critic-o-phobia, these Islamic sharia activists should not have a problem getting security and bodyguards to defend them.
