Defending Freedom of Speech
Reader comment on item: Trial Starts in Oren Speech Case

Anyone who watched actual footage of the disruption of Michael Oren's presentation saw that it was an orchestrated event designed to prevent him from delivering his speech. Those thugs and bullies who shouted him down are now claiming that their right to free speech was infringed because of "rampant Islamophobia". What a shameless, sleezy defense!

Let's hope that outside of the media arena these phony arguments by the propagandists from CAIR will not be taken seriously. In the courtroom, where rational discussion and evidence are still the coin of the realm, it should prove simple enough to convict these people. Not because they are Muslims, but because they are thugs and bullies who have no respect for the rule of law.
