They brand her an islamophobe completely neglecting the fact she is a VICTIM of islamic injustice. Go Brandeis.

    I figured you had most likely already seen it. I was really posting the link more for the sake of other people.

    Yes. I know it well. Van gogh was killed for making the movie short about her. Stabbed in the street with a death threat letter stuck in his chest with a knife.

    This is a shameful act of political correctness and appeasement. Ms. Ali is perhaps the bravest woman on earth today. She deserves nothing but respect and admiration for her life and the decisions she has made. Shame on this institution.

    "First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out--
    Because I was not a Socialist.
    Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out--
    Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
    Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out--
    Because I was not a Jew.
    Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me."

    Of course, they could come for the socialists today and I would probably cheer! My bad. :)

    I read it after hearing her speak at a Hillsdale retreat. I too, am troubled by the the fact that all people, women especially, aren't paying attention. It is unconscionable.
