I sure hope we arent holding any Muslims in America against their will. If they feel so strongly that pictures of Mohammed shouldnt be shown , I think they should go to a country that upholds their beliefs.

America---Love it or leave it.

Sounds like they're starting to test the waters here, now. It isn't rioting in the streets cause they know they'd never get away with it yet, but they've learned our laws and know how to use PC against us.

"hate speech disguised as freedom of expression."

Aha! Hate speech IS free expression, A-hole. They don't even understand the most basic aspects of our society. Probably allowed to vote, too.

"The agenda is to spread Islamophobia and create hysteria against Muslims similar to what happened to the Jews in Nazi Germany," said Umarji, an electrical engineer who graduated from Irvine last spring. "Freedom of speech has its limits."

Wait a second - the mulsim president of Iran said the Holocaust was a hoax...whom to believe?

To disagree with Islam is to be guilty of a "hate crime." How charming. Now I know how author Ibn Warraq feels.

I guess the divine nature of Mohammed's revelations is verified as the AP captializes "Prophet".

I understand and accept "the prophet Mohammed" as to distinguish him from the other exploding Mo's out there, but I guess we should be thankful that they don't write (pbuh) afterwards.

Mohamed Eldessouky, 20, a criminology student who attended the discussion, said he was disappointed because he felt the panel and the audience were biased against Islam.

It's not entirely unusual for sensible people to be "biased" against those who want to kill them.

Guess I am just an Islamaphobic infidel, cause I think these cartoons should be published every day for a year. It's called Free Speech baby, and if you're going to live in our society, better get used to it!

Islam "is" evil, but it is not a religion.

A student panel discussion that included a display of the Prophet Muhammad cartoons descended into chaos, with one speaker calling Islam an "evil religion" and audience members nearly coming to blows.

Islam'll do that to ya...

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't UC Irvine a liberal hotbed? How did they allow such a panel to come in and actually give it a cheerful reception in the first place?

Does this mean the libs are falling away from the islamofascists?

I sure hope so. We can disagree with the libs all we want on social security and health care but we sure could do with agreeing on who the enemy is.

"er, panelists were cheered when they referred to Muslims as fascists and accused mainstream Muslim-American civil rights groups of being "cheerleaders for terror." "

See guys don't write us off in CA just yet :-)

Hate speech is also protected under the 1st amendment that liberals supposedly cherish so much.

Those two faced retards once again reveal that they are simply hypocrites. They can dish it out when they bash rednecks, christians, and Karl Rove, but they can't take it.

I'm seeing this phrase pop up a lot lately too.

"Freedom of speech has its limits."
