Free speech for all?

 
 
 

Muslims can call for sharia law, condemn the United States as “The Great Satan,” call for the destruction of Israel, and shout down speakers at college forums — but heaven forbid that anyone should speak ill of the “Religion of Peace.”

Muslims raised a ruckus because Lt. Gen. William G. Boykin, an intelligence officer who has been critical of Islam, was scheduled to speak at a West Point prayer breakfast. He has withdrawn from the event. Muslims have protested pro-Israel speakers on college campuses and other venues, and have sent their minions in to scream and shout until the speakers give up and leave.

Freedom of speech, it seems, is only permissible when it conforms to the Muslim way of thinking. Now they are able to control who speaks at our nation’s military academies. Sharia law is on the horizon.
