War College cancels speaker on Islam

A Muslim activist group has pressured the U.S. Army War College into postponing a speech by Ray Ibrahim, an expert on the historical roots of Islamic terrorism, after the group falsely labeled him as a racist and “Islamophobe,” he said.

The Philadelphia chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a group critics say is linked to the Islamist international group Muslim Brotherhood, protested the speech in a letter to the college superintendent, Army Maj. Gen. John S. Kem, and provost James G. Breckenridge. Purporting to represent the “Muslim community” in Pennsylvania, CAIR stated that it opposed Mr. Ibrahim’s planned June 19 speech on “Sword and Scimitar: Fourteen Centuries of War Between Islam and the West,” the title of his latest book.

Mr. Ibrahim said the group set up straw man arguments against him in a smear campaign that involved taking his statements out of context.

The War College initially informed Mr. Ibrahim that the lecture could proceed despite the opposition. But after CAIR organized a publicity campaign alleging Mr. Ibrahim was a white nationalist, the college buckled to the group’s pressure.

Robert Martin, a spokesman for the Army War College, said Mr. Ibrahim’s speech was postponed so the Army education unit can “pair Mr. Ibrahim’s military history insights in close proximity with another historical perspective, at a time when [the Army War College] curriculum has addressed historical analysis of influences on conflict.” He did not respond when asked about the pressure from CAIR.

Mr. Ibrahim said the speech was canceled and the college’s claim of a postponement is not correct.

His 352-page book covers nearly 14 centuries in great detail, and CAIR provided no documentation for any research shortcomings in its campaign against him.

9-11 has coward the most stringent patriot! We never fought back in our own soil instead we kowtow to the most evil demonic women oppressive cultist religion called Islam!! And gave them the right to demand their cultish culture spread like cancer in our nation by letting CAIR become a powerful voice! Stupid Americans!! Satan DWELLS in Sharia/Mohammed/ Allah! Islam is an abomination!!

[ProtectOurFreedom]

My God, this is a disgrace to the country. If we can’t teach our young warriors the truth about the enemy, his history, and his doctrines, we will LOSE every time. I cannot believe we subjected ourselves to pressure from an islamist outfit. I know Trump cannot possibly get involved with all the details of what’s going on, but I would hope to God he corrects this at the very top of the Army command.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Maybe they will teach the warriors how to find their safe spaces, provide blankies for naps, and adult coloring books to relieve stress.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

...and many young people have been taught “Islam is just another lifestyle. We have to respect all cultures. All cultures are equal. Who are we to judge if one culture is better than another? Besides, the USA is the root cause of all the ills in the world.”

It should be obvious by now that the “Fundamental Transformation” was transforming fedgov and military for the whole 8 years.

It s War College, not a Social Justice school. After Trump is gone incidents like this will multiply. It is going to get ugly.

[iontheball]

This is extremely disgusting from a military/national security teaching perspective where career officers need to know the true Islamic agenda. Looking at the big picture one can see how aggressive the Islamist are in driving their agenda across the entire federal government front. Only a few years ago they pressured the law enforcement community to change their training manuals and teachings to not include any criticism of Islam. They always fall back on the same time proven Islamophobia, race baiting accusations to advance their censorship agenda. It’s amazing and dangerous how quickly government officials buckle to the Fascist.

Our military has already submitted.

[shanover]

We lost the War on Terror. War College blinks and they are supposed to be our brain trust for future war. Islam is the winner. They have flooded the world with Islamist colonists,swayed public opinion,gained political power and held America to a stalemate while killing over 10,000 of our soldiers. It could be said that Islam Inc. is more powerful post 9/11 than before.

[yesthatjallen]

A war college won't even stand up to CAIR.

It's time to face facts. The enemy has won.

[TLI]

Great.

Except for a little time at Northwestern University (IL) it appears he has never been off the east coast much less outside of the US.

Wikipedia does not even have a listing under his name...
