“Robert Spencer incarnates intellectual courage when, all over the world, governments, intellectuals, churches, universities and media crawl under a hegemonic Universal Caliphate’s New Order. His achievement in the battle for the survival of free speech and dignity of man will remain as a fundamental monument to the love of, and the self-sacrifice for, liberty.”

It would be helpful if the audience, and even the speakers, include many representatives of those who, as non-Muslims, have personal experience of life under Islam or under the threat of local Muslims.
And their numbers should include Hindus and Sikhs and Christians from Pakistan and Bangladesh or Kashmir, Buddhists from Bangladesh or southern Thailand, Christians from the Philippines and Indonesia, Maronites from Lebanon (especially those from Damour, Mtein, Aintoura, Chekka, all places where Christians were massacred), Assyrians and Chaldeans who, now that Saddam Hussein's iron fist has been released, havfe been subject to attack by emboldened Muslims, Copts from Egypt who know exactly how Christians are treated by Muslims and are now free to testify truthfully, Christians from all over south and central Nigeria, including those who remember Biafra, or even those from Jos (where, unreported in the Western press, there is still killing by Muslims of Christians), Sudanese blacks who survived the 40-years of slow-motion genocide in the southern Sudan. You get the idea.
And let people come, too, from the countries of Western Europe, to testify as to what has been their experience of the vast influx of Muslims that their elites so heedlessly, nonchalantly, permitted. Let these people be carefully vetted, to make sure that they are articulate and, ideally, not politically pigeonholed for easy dismissal.
And if, in addition, you can find apostates from Islam who are willing to speak, that would be good.
Finally, try to make this a non-partisan affair, with speakers who may differ politically but agree on the meaning, and therefore the menace, of this triumphalist mosque, and who have properly informed themselves about the views held by Feisal Abdul Rauf.
The more people who cannot possibly be made to fit the mold that the editorial staff of The New York Times and heel-clicking knee-jerking heel-clicking Keith Olbermann (Jawohl, Herr Obersturmbannfuhrer!), are will so obviously be waiting to apply -- that is, the less you can accommmodate their One-Size-Fits-All dismissal of those intelligently alarmed about this mosque, and about Islamic triumphalism -- the better.
And you can always quote, in speeches, those who, like Oriana Fallaci, spent their lives more or less on the left, but who, with long experience of Islam, and viewing with alarm what was happening in their own beloved parts of Europe, came to their senses. And how.
