MUSLIM students repeatedly disrupted a lecture on blasphemy given by a human rights activist with one making a death threat, it has been claimed.
Maryam Namazie was giving a lecture on blasphemy at the Atheist, Secularist and Humanist Society (ASH), of Goldsmiths in London.
Her talk was repeatedly disrupted by members of the university's Islamic Society (ISOC) with hecklers shouting and turning off her Powerpoint presentation when she showed a cartoon of Jesus and the prophet Muhammad.
One member of the audience also claimed he received a death threat during Ms Namazie's talk.

But they say Christians are the problem in the world.
Western civilization has been living off the capital of freedom that was part of the Judeo-Christian ethic and as it abandons Judeo-Christian ethics, it will lost its freedom.
Been happening for decades and has accelerated in the past eight to ten years.
But I guess Obama is still going to blame Republicans and the NRA (no matter where or what).
Death threats should be grounds for dismissal from the college... just for starters. Meanwhile, they waste their time on imagined micro-aggressions.
Like Carter, Obama destabilizes the Middle-East. Now he is destabilizing the United States as well.

very very true.
Islam in incompatible with western civilization. Here is a bunch of Muslims going crazy for being shown a gay movie in Sweden.

Grounds for dismissal?! Grounds for immediate pre-emptive defensive action.
Orwell was correct.
Interesting that there were as many comments describing the protesting thugs as “delicate little flowers” and such on a prominent Democratic board :-)
The best comment was “Religious people already *HAVE* their “safe spaces”- they are called Churches, Temples and Mosques.
The first is at the administrative level. The second is at the individual level, LOL.
they are called Churches, Temples and Mosques.....Ummm..You should never equate Churches and Temples with Muslim fortresses. It isn’t prudent.
Same principle.
If one doesn’t want to be exposed to opinions that offend their religious sensibilities, there’s a place for that. If you want to get an education then *ALL* ideas and beliefs should be up for challenge, particularly the ones that people hold dearest and hate having attacked the most.
Just my .02
I want *NO* speech stifled, period. The only appropriate response to free speech you don’t agree with is free speech that you DO agree with, at least in academia and the press.
Zero sympathy for anyone, anywhere who is “offended” by mere words.
I want *NO* speech stifled, period.....So you’d agree with Nazis and invite them to debate you, also?
Thank you.
= :^)
Absolutely.
Not agree with them, of course, but if one is going to allow Mullahs to preach jihad here, what is the difference?
As fare as debating me, there are many who are much better.
Not agree with them, of course, but if one is going to allow Mullahs to preach jihad here, what is the difference?....They have no debate, just creed. “We will accept you, if you obey our laws”. ‘Good, accept us and we will then kill you.” Makes no sense to me.
Call Loretta Lynch—oh, wait, she only said she will prosecute anti Muslim “hate” speech..
