Georgetown U Students Reject Criticism Of Sharia Law As ‘Hate Speech’
Daily caller ^ | March 2, 2017 | David Krayden

Nonie Darwish grew up as a Muslim girl in Egypt and wants to tell American university students what Sharia law is really like.

A lot of them don’t care to hear about it and don’t even think Darwish should have the freedom of speech to tell her side of the story — including some of the Georgetown University College Republicans (GUCR) who invited her to speak at their academy Tuesday night.

According to Campus Reform, her presentation at Georgetown University this week prompted a torrent of angry student voices who called Darwish’s condemnation of Sharia law “hate speech.”

The lecture was co-sponsored by the GUCR and the Clare Booth Luce Policy Institute. Just days before Darwish was scheduled to appear, The Georgetown Voice published an article by undergrad student Aly Panjwani warning that the university would become a vehicle for the “hateful and violent views” that Darwish allegedly espouses.

Panjwani also suggested that the university had grievously offended Muslims by inviting Asra Nomani to speak, who is a Muslim woman and former Georgetown professor who happened to vote for President Donald Trump.

Without a hint of irony, Panjwani claimed, “My critique of these speakers is not an effort to silence free speech,” but only that “these speakers are not exercising free speech, they are exercising hate speech, a speech of the kind that no organization, especially at Georgetown, should endorse or give a platform to.”

Her appeal was supposedly supported by dozens of emails to the college republicans from the Muslim Students Association at Georgetown, prompting college republican secretary Javon Price to resign, stating on his Facebook page that Darwish should never have been invited because of the “clear distinction between free speech and hate speech.”

Impose sharia on them for one week and they might change their minds.

So those fighting against Nazism, white supremacy, the KKK are also guilty of “hate speech”? COOL!

They have to go live under sharia as a Christian (even if in name only) in a muzzie country and then come back and tell us what they think.

Not a dime of federal (our money) dollars should go to colleges.

Let the states treat people to it if they want to.

Dont remember advanced schooling being a right in the constitution.

As stupid as it gets. And this person will be awarded a degree who appears to need to go back to elementary school and start over again.

Fools. They understand nothing about Islam. Muslims are the new blacks. They must be worshipped.

Georgetown is a Jesuit institution. It was once proud champion of Western Culture and Catholicism. Alas, the Jesuits have descended into an unspeakable cabal.

Have SHARIA LAW week and see how they feel.

No women can drive or speak or be seen without a burka or without the company of her family, and if they get raped they must produce 4 male witnesses.

Georgetown U Students Reject Criticism Of Sharia Law As ‘Hate Speech’

Georgetown U students who reject criticism of sharia law as ‘hate speech’ are giving aid and comfort to the enemy, thus being traitors to the United States of America.

Do these students hate Jews and Christians as much as the Muslims do? Maybe more?

Lurkinanloomin :" Impose sharia on them for one week and they might change their minds. "

Exactly true ! Let them pay the dhimmi (infidel) tax, and require all non-believers to wear and insignia of their faith on their outer clothing
Require women to only go out with a male relative
Women to be dressed from head-to-toe in a black 'baggie', or be beaten and/or raped
Require all the fraternities to be alcohol free
No cigarette smoking
No music allowed
Require all women to walk 3 steps behind their escorts.
No women drivers of automobiles on campus.

Let the campus play Sharia for a week
and see the REALISTIC SOCIAL CONSEQUENCES of their Sophomoric attitudes !

These fools know nothing about Liberty, or our Constitutional Republic or Islam. They do seem very well versed in communism and fascism though.

Liberal college kids _don’t_ want to hear what it’s _really_ like to live in a Middle-Eastern country? From someone who actually grew up in one???

I am shocked—shocked!—I tell you!

"...prompting college republican secretary Javon Price to resign, stating on his Facebook page that Darwish should never have been invited because of the “clear distinction between free speech and hate speech.”

It seems that we are missing something. How would Price know that what this women has to say is "hate speech" - if she has not yet spoken?

Regardless, it seems that the Pubbie organization would be better off without this milquetoast as secretary...
