When ex-Muslim Ayaan Hirsi Ali appeared at the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown, Muslim groups tried to have her speech shut down. And they made it clear that if they had the power, and US law were written according to shari’a, Hirsi Ali would not simply be prohibited from speaking.
According to the president of the Johnstown Islamic Center, Imam Fouad ElBayly, she’d be dead.
And in a perfect example of the bizarre disconnect between reality and the shiny happy multicultural world of the media, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review calls this a “debate on religious freedom.”
This isn’t in Afghanistan. It’s in Pittsburgh.
Islamic leaders tried to block the lecture, which was sponsored through an endowment from the Frank J. and Sylvia T. Pasquerilla Lecture Series. They argued that Hirsi Ali’s attacks against the Muslim faith in her book, “Infidel,” and movie, “Submission,” are “poisonous and unjustified” and create dissension in their community.
Although university officials listened to Islamic leaders’ concerns, the lecture planned last year took place Tuesday evening under tight security, with no incidents.
Imam Fouad ElBayly, president of the Johnstown Islamic Center, was among those who objected to Hirsi Ali’s appearance.
“She has been identified as one who has defamed the faith. If you come into the faith, you must abide by the laws, and when you decide to defame it deliberately, the sentence is death,” said ElBayly, who came to the U.S. from Egypt in 1976. ...
Although ElBayly believes a death sentence is warranted for Hirsi Ali, he stressed that America is not the jurisdiction where such a crime should be punished. Instead, Hirsi Ali should be judged in a Muslim country after being given a trial, he added.
“If it is found that a person is mentally unstable, or a child or disabled, there should be no punishment,” he said. “It’s a very merciful religion if you try to understand it.”
(Hat tip: LGF readers.)
Those wacky Islamists -- they always have a good punch line.
“By their fruits ye shall know them.”
Matt 7: 20.
Fouad ElBayly, should be arrested and imprisoned for conspiracy and incitement to Murder in the First Degree..
Unbelievable, the libs and the media won’t recognize the danger until there is chanting and knives out to cut their throats.
And these are the Guardians of Free Speech? They would pee their pants if they ever angered the Islamists, better to just attack Christians.....
Forthwith..
...chances are they're Muslim."
Can’t we deport him? Please? He can go back to Egypt and try Ali in absentia.

Does anyone know if this kind of incitement to criminal activity is a basis for deportation?
Because this is one guy who needs to be deported right now.
This sonuvaabitch has been in America for over 30 years, yet he still thinks like a lunatic Islamist!
Folks - face it -- Fundamental Islamists are unsuited for ANYTHING but being confined in their own Turd World environment or exterminated when they attempt to spread their murderous cult by the sword...
They are CLEARLY not suited to live amongst non-Muslim populations...
How many more innocents must die before the PC world acknowledges the threat from these lunatics?
Semper Fi
Words fail me..
I think I know what you mean. It's hard to have an articulate response to this kind of viper and his incitement to murder.
and yet he won’t

But . . you must understand they are a religion of peace. That probably shoul read . . . religion of pieces!
Just get the twisted, stone-age bastards out of our country. Problem solved.
In church today the reverend spoke about how Jesus said to love your neighbor.
If a Muzzie were to move into my complex I really don’t know if I could do that.
There is the rubber meets the road.
There is no assimilation, no new generation of patriots, no accepting the American culture of Life, Liberty, Freedom, nothing but legal battles to force Sharia law into our culture
I fear for our future over this more than the hordes of illegals infesting our country.
Yep. And he's probably what we consider a 'moderate' muslim leader. We're screwed if we don't wake up soon! The MSM is deliberately keeping the truth from the people ane the people, by and large, are too lazy or apathetic to figure it out on their own.
