Yale Intellectual Castrati-No Balls Dons Burgas To Censor Cartoon BK

Yale academics are now singing their perennial favorite "Yes, We Have No Balls" when it comes to defending research against "possible" Islamic terrorism" decided against printing the controversial cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad in a book by Jytte Klausen:“The Cartoons That Shook the World,” Yale University Press about the cartoons that set off Muslim riots not so long ago. Rather than run the risk of offending any possible donors to the Yale treasury our intrepid Yale Castrati has preempted that unnecessary development and simply censored the book. Clearly, these CRAVEN nimrods will not be found fighting at the walls defending the American Constitution and the Right to Free Speech. Your Money Is More Important To Us Than The Constitution say these cowards. PJ Media:The Plot thickens. Yes, these intellectual cowards can do that---Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue and all American Marines, Navy, Army, Air Force.

Former US Congresswoman Mary Rose Oakar Tries to Censor Islamo-Fascism Week

Former Congress Mary Rose Oakar left congress in 1993 after the scandal of the House Rubber check (200 rubbers checks for her) unleashed in the press. Now she is involved with Muslim groups trying to suppress information about their activities as president of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC)

Oakar's letter has gone out to every campus that has stated it is going to host an Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week. Over the weekend, Robert Spencer of JihadWatch published a report that the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) has posted a handbook providing instruction to university and college administrators on steps to censor students, which may indicate that Oakar's letter is part of a collective effort by radical Islamist organizations to censor students with an anti-terror message and to suppress their free speech rights – a possible violation of federal law. Also unknown is how widespread this censorship campaign extends, perhaps well beyond ADC and MPAC.

The text of Mary Rose Oakar’s letter to Columbus State President Moeller appears below:

September 7, 2007

President Valeriana Moeller

Columbus State Community College

550 East Spring Street

Columbus, Ohio 43216

Dear President Valeriana Moeller:

I am writing on behalf of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC). Founded in 1980 by former United States Senator James Abourezk in response to stereotyping, defamation and discrimination directed against Americans of Arab origin, ADC is the largest Arab American civil rights organization in the country. ADC has 38 chapters, members across the nation, and ADC is a member of the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights (LCCR).

It has come to our attention that Columbus State Community College will be the host of a campaign which carries false, hateful, and biased messages about Muslims and Arabs. This nationally organized campaign is called “Islamo-Facism [sic] Awareness Week” and is scheduled to take place on Oct. 22-26.

As a civil rights organization, ADC values the principle of free speech, however, hateful speech cannot be condoned and should not be allowed to permeate American campuses. The post-9/11 United States has seen a dramatic increase in hate crimes targeted against Arab and Muslims or those perceived to be. Events such as “Islamo-Facism [sic] Awareness Week” do not seek to further the discussion in a peaceful manner, but rather they contribute only to the prejudicial anger and hatred which ultimately is targeted against Arab and Muslims in the US.

“Islamo-Facism [sic] Awareness Week” is being organized and promoted by Mr. David Horowitz and his Horowitz Freedom Center. Mr. Horowitz claims, “During the week of October 22-26, 2007, the nation will be rocked by the biggest conservative campus protest ever – Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week, a wake-up call for Americans on 200 university and college campuses.” While the plan for the week includes sit-ins, lectures, and film, ADC is deeply concerned that these planned activities seek not to increase awareness, tolerance, and understanding, but instead promote intolerance, fear, and bigotry.

Materials scheduled to be distributed are: “The Islamic Mein Kampf,” Why Israel is the Victim,” “Jimmy Carter’s War Against the Jews,” and “What Every American Needs to Know About Jihad.” Mr. Horowitz advises campus organizers to request funding from the student government and the University for these activities. If funding is not forthcoming, according to Horowitz’s guide, “it will prove the hypocrisy of your University’s claim to be committed to intellectual diversity and academic freedom.”

This proposed “Islamo Facism [sic] Awareness Week” initiative must be viewed within the context of the organized national campaign to foreclose the debate on the Middle East, especially at university campuses, by promoting fear of Arabs and Muslims. ADC is deeply troubled by the possibility that a tiny handful of student with a narrow political agenda, backed by a well-funded special interest group, would organize this type of hateful and bigoted event on your campus. I urge you to ensure that hate speech and demonstrations of bigotry and racial and religious profiling not be tolerated on your campus.

I would welcome the opportunity for ADC to discuss these concerns with you.

Mary Rose Oakar Kareem Shora, LL.M., J.D.

President, ADC National Executive Director

Simon Says:"join me in some verbal “weaponizing."

Roger Simon reminds all bloggers that the Beijing Olympics without Freedom of Speech is a propaganda con job. Simon says: blog about Chinese repression, censorship, suppression of bloggers and journalists. Do not blog about the Olympics.

Roger L. Simon

"So I would like to invite my fellow bloggers to join me in some verbal “weaponizing.”

From this moment on, I will not write about the Beijing Olympics unless the subject at hand is censorship and repression in China. And – unless the Chinese government changes its policies – when the Olympics do come, I will not blog about them at all. I will take the opportunity to write as often as I can about the lack of Freedom of Speech on the Chinese Internet and on the suppression of bloggers and journalists in that country.

I hope we could all do this together, especially since this is not an issue of right or left. It is about Freedom of Speech, something upon which the vast majority of the blogosphere can agree. We can reach across the aisle on this one, if others are willing. So…

… about those Beijing Olympics – they’re a propaganda sham until the people of China have Freedom of the Press.
