Here is more on the talk from Dartmouth:
Robert Spencer, director of Jihad Watch and N.Y. Times bestselling author on Islam, spoke to the Dartmouth College community on October 26 as the keynote speaker for Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week at Dartmouth. Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week was created by the Horowitz Freedom center to break the silence and raise awareness of the threat of Islamo-Fascism to all, Muslim and non-Muslim alike.A student in attendance added this on the talk by Spencer:
I talked to Mr. Spencer again today and he is going to be putting a link to this video on JihadWatch.org, his website, as well as writing an article about it and how everyone should contrast his exact words in his message to the lies of all those who try to defame him have attempted to shut down IFAW from happening. I can say that, without a single doubt, Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week was a great success. Thank you all so much for your support. It hasn't been easy, but we made it into a real success here at Dartmouth (notice the standing ovation Mr. Spencer received at the end of his speech)!

ReplyDelete(thumbsup) to Mr. Spencer.. he's worked long & hard trying to get the truth (unvarnished facts) out.. and here's a nice liitle piece by Dennis Prager re:
The Left and the Term "Islamo-Fascism"
excerpt:
[It is worth mentioning that following my lecture, the student who wrote the column comparing me to a Ku Klux Klanner came over to me and said he was writing a column of apology to me and asked to be photographed with me. This is not surprising. Students at most universities are almost brainwashed into being leftist -- and the way they are taught to disagree with their political opponents is by using ad hominem attacks. Conservatives are described over and over as mean-spirited, war-loving, greedy, bigoted, racist, xenophobic, Islamophobic, homophobic, sexist, intolerant and oblivious to human suffering.
Such ad hominem labels are the left's primary rhetorical weapons. So when leftist students are actually confronted with even one articulate conservative, many enter a world of cognitive dissonance. That is one reason why universities rarely invite conservatives to speak: they might change some students' minds.]
