[The following is a speech given by David Horowitz at the University of Wisconsin last Monday as part of the university’s Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week program]

I understand that the cold weather set in just to day so I planned this event to warm things up. Actually, it wasn’t my plan to warm things up. The heat has been provided by a national hate campaign organized by the political left to intimidate and discredit the student organizers of the event and prevent the discussion they hoped to stimulate from taking place. Some of this hate crowd is present tonight. Yes, I can hear you. You attack this event by alleging that it is put on by racists and bigots and Islamo-phobes. I’m going to disappoint you, if you listen. This evening is not about prejudice against Muslims. On the contrary, this evening is on behalf of all those Muslims who are oppressed by Islamo-Fascism, which you would know if you read what we have said.

If you want to understand what this week is about, here is the poster we designed to announce our events. What it shows is a soccer field in Afghanistan. The figure with the AK-47 is a Taliban soldier. And this poor woman, who is about to have her head blown off at point blank range by an AK-47 has been accused of sexual improprieties, which violate Islamic law. As you may or may not know, in countries where Sharia, which is Islamic law, is imposed by the state, women cannot be witnesses.

Thanks for posting.

Thank you for this post of Horowitz's post.

That the facts upon which Horowitz based his speech and the entire Academic Week have to be minutely explained means they never will be. To the MSM and American public, this event never happened. The Democrat rhetoric will continue exactly as before.

The simple fact that Nancy Pelosi, Cindy Sheehan, et al, would have long been maimed and dead in any nation under Sharía Law is simply moot in this country. God help us.

This is a warning to you progressives in the audience. This is my gift to you if you will take it. The Islamo-fascists whom you support will devour you in the end.

Great line from a great article - so much summed up in one speech. Sorry to say though that most of them won't heed the warning. Wish the article included the Q&A at the end. Would love to see video.
