Student Muslims Disrupt Daniel Pipes Lecture

Invited to speak at UC Berkeley, columnist and Middle East expert Daniel Pipes was met with loud disruptions by radical Muslims and cheerleading leftists who jeered, hissed, booed, along with moronically chanting "Zionist" and "racist," throughout the event. According to Cinnamon Stillwell, writing for ChronWatch,

. . . the Muslim Student Association (MSA) was out in full force on Tuesday, acting like the thugs and bullies they routinely accuse Pipes of supporting. There were about 50-70 of them, amidst a crowd of 700, and after failing to prevent Pipes from speaking, they did their best to try and disrupt the lecture and intimidate the audience.

Amid the ugliness and chaos, Pipes maintained his composure and was able to complete his lecture on The War on Terrorism.

Of special note and particularly disturbing was the way the protesters reacted to his speech. For example,

When Pipes brought up the need to support moderate Muslims over those who subscribe to militant Islam, they booed.

When he brought up the need to improve the status of women in Islamic countries, they booed.

When he warned that peace in the Middle East would never be achieved as long as the Palestinians continued to subscribe to a ''cult of death,'' they booed.

When he mentioned Middle East Studies professors who have been arrested under terrorism charges, they booed.

When he discussed the need to combat Islamic terrorism, they booed.

The level of hostility and anti-Semitism displayed by the radical Muslims and their leftist supporters indicates that a real danger resides on America's college campuses. UC Berkeley is only one of many. Winning the War on Terror will require defeating these destructive forces at home.
