Author Nonie Darwish, whose new book warns of the advance of Islamic law in the West, completed a scheduled speech at Boston University but not without the interruption of an apparent arson in a nearby restroom.
Darwish, whose recently scheduled addresses at both Columbia and Princeton were canceled following Islamic opposition, said the students who arranged her Boston University appearance this week believe the fire was an attempt to hinder her message.
"I am still in shock," she said in an e-mail to supporters. "Fifteen minutes before I was to speak at Boston University a fire was set on purpose in a bathroom near the room I was to speak at."
One of the students who arranged her appearance, Alan Korn, said in an e-mail that it appears the fire was "intentional."

According to the university's student newspaper, Darwish, who grew up in Cairo, Egypt, blamed Arab culture for many of the conflicts today.
Darwish is the author of "Cruel and Usual Punishment: The Terrifying Global Implications of Islamic Law."
She said she started speaking out after 9/11 because terror attack leader Mohamed Atta is from Cairo. But the city's residents with whom she talked said, "This is a Jewish conspiracy."

Her message also carries a strong warning against submitting to Shariah, the Islamic religious law. Under it, she said, men can have four wives, women cannot get a divorce and women must have four male witnesses to prove rape.
"Under Islamic law, Jews and Christians can live in an Islamic country only if they live as inferior, pay taxes and give money to the Muslim state," she said.
The speech at Boston came only a short time after her scheduled appearances at Columbia and Princeton both were canceled.

TROP refusing to allow dissent.
oops..sounds like the Zero administration.
Will this get reported on CNN and MSNBC...or is it just “another isolated incident” as Beck would say?
...wake up Academics!!...continue down the path of tolerance towards Muslims and soon they’ll be telling you how to run your University.
I often think that modern American college campuses provide an excellent preview of what our greater society will become when it falls under the complete control of ‘enlightened’ leftists.
Or worse. Like getting murdered:

Can an ex-Muslim be trusted? An ex-Muslim is at risk of death as an apostate should a truly observant Muslim come within striking distance. If nobody tries to kill the “ex-Muslim”, could it be that they know the “ex” to be taqi’yah?
Truly, Islam is the religion of Satan. You can’t even trust the “good’ guys!
What is it with muslims and arson?
They seem to go together like sparks and dynamite.
party of tolerance ,indeed:

Sudden Jihad Syndrome again...
Some student’s scholarship should be under review if they figure out who did it. I said “should be” not “will be.”
Interesting how the most intolerant people are libs and moslems.
Nothing sudden about it. They only know hate.
