Join us -- "Fired For Islamophobia, Part II — on The Jamie Glazov Show," from FrontPage:
Join the Jamie Glazov Show on Tuesday, February 7, 2012 at 8-9 pm Pacific (11-12 pm EST) on Blog Talk Radio. This week’s guests are:Eric Allen Bell, a regular blogger for the “Daily Kos” — where he was recently banned for the crime of writing three articles that ran afoul of the mindset there, specifically naming “Loonwatch.com” as a “terrorist spin control network.” He is currently producing a documentary entitled “Not Welcome” that is about the backlash against construction of a 53,000 square foot mega mosque in America’s Bible Belt.
and
Robert Spencer, the director of Jihad Watch, a program of the David Horowitz Freedom Center, and the author of ten books, including two New York Times bestsellers, The Truth About Muhammad and The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades) (both Regnery).

See you on Tuesday night!
I will listen to the show tonight. Thank you. Tell EAB to stop calling Southerners "hicks."
CNN did an hour special on the M'boro mosque last year.
Another great show.
Robert had a great point about these common charges of "Islamophobia" and "bigotry" etc. in response to any criticism of Islam, in that are part of a general tactic. The Islamic supremacists and their enablers who make these charges don't necessarily sincerely believe the charges they are making. Rather, they know that these particular accusations are useful and socially powerful. As Eric noted, it is an "art of war move" when they use this tactic.
Susan's story was also disturbing, having to resign from her position due to a factual remark about Islam.
Perhaps we need to do some kind of open survey, inviting people to respond about their experience with this sort of censorship. I'll bet there are lots of people out there who've lost jobs, contracts, etc., over comments about Islam, especially among those who work in the media and the arts, publishing, academia, government, etc.
I caught the beginning and the end. A very good job by all.

I think, if Mr Bell comes fully on board, the Counter-Jihad could go one better than that.
Mr Bell could take Traeh's list of those who have been silenced (and in some cases killed), and make a documentary on it.
Dedicated to Theo Van Gogh and Asma Bint Marwan - and introduced with an animated sequence drawing strictly upon the Mohammedan sources in order to depict the assassination of the satirical poet Asma bint Marwan, who was murdered by one of Mohammed's hit-men.
Here, just in case Mr Bell drops by and is curious, is the link for a jihadwatch thread that includes traeh's list (which in its original form includes all the relevant links). All he has to do is click on the link then scroll on down till he comes to traeh's post.
