An anti-Islamist/Fundamentalist/Terrorist poster would have a snowball's chance in hell of being approved at such institutions. Though groups such as Hamas and other Islamic terrorist groups openly cite that they will do everything in their power to murder Jewish/American/Western women and children regularly, any form of public criticism would be immediately shot down as Islamophobia. It is simply easier, and apparently more popular to condemn and slander Israel and America and get away with it. Meanwhile, Islamofascism is the real threat, and it is no longer only Islamists who are practicing it.Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09125336146533959493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2124947602148556360.post-44881616747546605462009-02-06T05:20:00.000-05:002009-02-06T05:20:00.000-05:00I wonder what the author means by "some form of du...I wonder what the author means by "some form of due diligence". The term "Israeli Apartheid," outrageous and counterfactual as it is, expresses a point of view that forms part of the continuing debate on Canadian campuses. The question is whether counterparts in the debate are truly free to use the same level of rhetoric in response. Will campuses tolerate posters about "Arab Genocide"? Although most victims of Arab terrorist groups have been fellow Arabs, groups like Hamas make no bones about their intentions to inflict death upon Israeli citizens, and to "drive the Jews into the sea"<BR/><BR/>"Israeli Apartheid" and other inflammatory hyperbole shed more heat than light, and so I disdain their use, but it is necessary to defend the right to free expression, especially when it’s obnoxious. The main threat to free debate on campuses is the uneven application of restrictions on political expression, and the fact that the decision rests in the hands of people who are hardly impartial or well-informed. More importantly, they make those decisions in a process that lets them follow their noses.<BR/><BR/>Until that changes, I'll continue to hold mine.Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13483731198623344970noreply@blogger.com
