They won't be inviting me to make any speeches for sure. Islam and the West are completely incompatible. Anyone who think differently needs to read this.
If you or anyone else really wants to understand where the left/progressives are getting their ideas from, the leading thinkers and their Heroes.

Beyond Belief: Science, Reason, Religion & Survival

pffft... You nailed it with your comments on Post 1. KPFA (Left Wing radio on the Pacific Coast) was fine with Richard Dawkins as long as his "science" ("science" so-called. Flawed assumptions, and cherry picked data to push his religion) was used to disparage God, and Christianity.
But, oh no, he also had the temerity to note that Islam is a retrograde culture that is harmful to civilization. Thus he must be silenced.
The Left never supports free speech. Just speech that supports their dogma. And dogma number one is to oppose Christ and Christianity.
It’s about fear of what those wonderful Muslims will do to them if they let anyone say Muslims are not wonderful.
Nice to see the left tie itself up in knots of contradictions. I’m hoping that they succeed in strangling each other.
Same logic - they are perfectly fine with Muslim owned businesses not being forced to participate in same-sex marriage ceremonies and will allow them to operate freely uninhibited, whereas they will specifically target Christian owned businesses to harass them out of business.
Interesting but kinda dull except for highlights. What is it about academics that they love to hear themselves speak and think others do too. My experience with these speeches is they are worth listening to because of all the good info but they take 10 times longer than they really should most the time.
Good site though; I’ve bookmarked it. I just wish I could listen to it at double or triple speed.
When Malcolm X was gunned down in 1965, I was all of 16 years old and thought “those who live by the sword....”
His killers were not the KKK, by the way.
Nope, it was Calypso Louie, himself.
Obviously the leftist establishment has gone full time in its drive to protect m*slims and to allow them to spread their violent ideology of death and destruction.
Thanks for the link. I tried to listen to Session 7, but fell asleep during.
That's funny (and sad). Liberals telling themselves and others that they do believe in free speech, but in reality they do not. "serious" speech is what they agree with; "abusive" speech is what they do not like to hear. Too bad they don't get it.
There was soooo much hypocrisy in that cancellation. Had Dawkins never tweeted a word about Islam, his many “hurtful” comments about Christians and Christianity would NOT have gotten his event cancelled. The cancellation was not about “hurtful” comments by Dawkins. It was 100% about political correctness.
“While KPFA emphatically supports serious free speech, we do not support abusive speech.”
In other words they DO NOT support free speech.
Even a first grader could figure that one out.

You don’t know the Orwellian leftist b.s. line?
Hate speech is “non speech.”
Or, worse, hate speech is a a physical assault. Or they “create an atmosphere for violence.”
So it’s not just words, it’s violence. That’s what they try to say. Therefore, it justifies violence against the speakers to stop greater violence.
Indeed. I have a relative who listens to nothing but KPFA all day, every day. And if I visit that relative, we are inundated with KPFA. The relative, of course, wants to "enlighten" us because KPFA supposedly has some inside access to the "truth about what is happening" that every other source hides.
There are some advantages to living on the opposite coast from one's relatives.
Say bad things about muslims, you get chastised.
Muslims shoot, rape, and cut heads off, silence.
Or you get warned about islamaphobia.
Progressives have spent the last hundred years building their positions.
The “Cliff Notes” version?
They are wrong, we are right.
But they have reached critical mass with the assistance of virtually every public institution we know. The speakers at that conference took turns bashing religion in favor of the promotion of the uncertainty of their science. And this uncertainty is now, not only accepted, it is celebrated.
Beyond Belief indeed.
FWIW, the left has co-opted science, so-called real science or hard science, and are using these revelations to proclaim that EVERYTHING IS RELATIVE, including Truth itself.
As a result, they reject any logical foundation for belief. Logic itself is a construct of self contained propositions which are no more or less valid than any other set of propositions.
You and I can agree that these people are nuts, but we can’t destroy their sand castles without raising the tide.
“You and I can agree that these people are nuts, but we can’t destroy their sand castles without raising the tide.”
“And so castles made of sand, fall into the sea...
eventually”
