ISNA conference
Reader comment on item: "Mainstream" Islamist Convention Features Hate Speech and Hezbollah Defense

Submitted by Toni, Jul 14, 2009 16:02

It is a shame that a conference was held and people sat there passively and were silent, that is a disgrace. The mere fact that Umar was allowed to speak and nobody disapproved of his language or virulent anti-semitic cries of indecency toward the Jews and others is an outrage.. where there anybody there who was knowledgeable about the inciteful communication that was allowed to exist at t his conference... and why was there a lack of response from anyone sitting in the audience? Giving the platform to a person with ideas of hatred and misconstrued information only bolsters this persons ability to want to reach out more and express his intolerant views... Why do we keep allowing these people to speak and if they speak, then where is the debate?
