I'll ask questions, I'll ask a lot of questions.

What I'm NOT going to do, is engage in the immflamatory, insulting tone that Todd likes to use, it's a sign of ignorance, and lack of breeding.

I'm not here to do Todd's show, I'm here to do my show, and in my show, guests are treated with respect, and differencers of opinion are discussed among educated people, in an educated fashion.

If you have a question, that you can frame in an adult fashion, you can call in and chat with myself, and Mr. Hoffman, but I will not permit anyone to insult, or defame anyone who is a guest on my show...ever.

So what are you going to talk about, how Islam is Peace, and how we should all embrace Islam?

Frankly Luis, I would think that with everything else that the three major religions would have greater concerns than one another.

I mean, come on.. Look at our schools and darwinism.

Surely we could come together there.. surely we aren't enemies in this instance and surely our common enemy is the pagans.

So why can't we form a temporary alliance? Why must we do battle among ourselves first?

college campuses are blackballing Daniel Pipes


Ever since September 11, Daniel Pipes has been a leading voice in our public debates over terrorism and the Middle East. Rightly so, given that long before 9/11, Pipes was one of the very few Middle East experts to warn of the danger posed by Islamism. I may not always agree with Pipes, but I often do. Certainly, Pipes's regular columns in the New York Post, like his thoughtful articles and opinion pieces in the Wall Street Journal, the Los Angeles Times, National Review, The New Republic Online, Commentary, and The National Interest have made invaluable contributions to our debates over the war on terror. Yet, in scandalous violation of America's traditions of free speech and open debate, Daniel Pipes has recently been disinvited from two important speaking engagements at American universities. Increasingly, it looks as though America's college campuses are blackballing Daniel Pipes.

So Pipes's appearance at the Colltown forum was canceled for two reasons: moral objections to Campus Watch, and fears that other panel members, or the audience, might protest Pipes. Of course, fear of "unseemly reactions" is exactly the wrong reason to disinvite a speaker. That gives protesters effective control over which voices can be heard on campus. Why, for example, should Palestinian spokeswoman, Hanan Ashwari, one of the other panelists invited to the forum, have the right to block an appearance by Pipes, just because she might have had an "unseemly reaction" to his presence?

I wouldn't suggest rancor, sir. Just do a little research and strive for the truth. Islam seems to have but two arms; the one that kills, and the one that puts the other arm's victims to sleep for easier killing. You are about to meet the second arm. If you do it a favor you do human civilization a terrible disservice.

Just a note of caution, my friend. Consider the questions in my previous post and put them to good use... without rancor.

"Gay marriage" Same story..

As well as a dozen other things..

I don't think it serves the "big three" well to battle each other in this fashon.. If anything we should unite.
