See, Islamists Engage In Healthy Debates

Oh wait, what I meant to say was that they bully anyone that disagrees with them.

Staring down intimidation
[Hat Tip: America Awakes]

It took 10 police officers to keep order last month when Brigitte Gabriel gave a speech at Memphis University. A passionate and powerful speaker who had witnessed Palestinian terrorism and experienced anti-Jewish and anti-Christian propaganda in her native Lebanon, Ms. Gabriel had been invited to speak at the Tennessee campus by religious studies professor David Patterson.

But the day before Ms. Gabriel's speech, Mr. Patterson began receiving threatening e-mails.

"Do you honestly think the scheduled lecture will serve any useful purpose other than inflaming the Muslims, insulting them and spilling poison in the community?" one message said.

Another said that inviting Ms. Gabriel to speak was "worse than hosting of the Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan," and another described her as among "the true enemies of Islam."

When Ms. Gabriel and Mr. Patterson arrived in the campus auditorium 15 minutes before her scheduled presentation, several rows of seats in the front of the room were already occupied by men and women dressed in distinctive Muslim clothing.

Before Ms. Gabriel was introduced, a Muslim man who has been a long-term graduate student at the university strode to the front of the room and announced: "We have been told that the speaker will only accept questions written on cards. Everyone who believes this is an undemocratic lecture, raise your hands." The Muslims in the audience shouted their agreement.
Ms. Gabriel then went to the front of the room and announced that the lecture belonged to her and that all who did not see it this way were welcome to leave. Two campus police officers stood, one on either side of her. They also called for backup. By the time order was restored and Ms. Gabriel began her speech, 10 police officers were posted in the room. Mr. Patterson implored the audience to give her a chance to be heard.

After her speech, she answered every question submitted -- questions she described as "Palestinian talking points" -- before the Muslim audience members swarmed onto the stage and surrounded her, yelling angrily at her. Finally, police officers grabbed her and hustled her out a side door. Someone else had to retrieve her coat and suitcase while she waited in a police car to be driven to the hotel where, for security reasons, she was registered under a fictitious name.

Only after she had locked her door and drawn the curtains, did Ms. Gabriel allow herself to begin to tremble.

"The intimidation takes a toll on you," Ms. Gabriel said in an e-mail message to friends after the Memphis speech. "I was dreading this all day, ever since my hosts told me they had been receiving hostile e-mail about my lecture. It was weighing so heavily on my heart. My stomach was in knots. I got a migraine headache. I knew I was going into battle, and there was no way out of it. I was nervous and stressed. Each time this happens, I hate it and it makes me feel that I don't want to do it anymore. But I will do it. I will never stop. If we stop, the Islamists will have won. We cannot allow that to happen."

And this, from a woman that simply wanted to speak about her experiences in her native country.

How frightening is that?

'All I'm her to talk about is my experience of Islam in my native country'

And all hell breaks loose, and she's swarmed on stage.

Aahhh, something you Muslims are trying to hide?

I'd bet dollars to doughnuts, the answer is YES.

And let's not forget, this was in Tennessee!

Don't look away, pay attention, or you're going to wake up without a country!

This is where I put up a gratuitous pic of a hot web babe, but this pic has two of them...

Yikes!!

Is that one of Fu2rman's favorite bloggers Atlas Shrugs and Brigette Gabriel?

Why yes it is!

Damn, how I'd love to be the meat in that sandwich.

What a conversation that would be...

Intelligent and Hot, YUMMY!

Nice post Fu2rman!

The bullies of this religion need to be punched in the face to get them to back down. The limits to their hippocracy is limitless.

Good work!

A punch in the face?

That would be violence against a minority.

I think that would constitute a hate crime, wouldn't it?

Except the fact that Muslims are the Majority in the world, and a 'little punch in the face' would pale in comparison to the violence the inflict on humanity each and every day.

We should start playing by the 'Muslim Rules' and drop our PC BS, or I fear we are in big trouble.
