Darwish's Speech Canceled
Nonie Darwish, the executive director of Former Muslims and author of Cruel and Usual Punishment: The Terrifying Global Implications of Islamic Law was supposed to be the guest speaker at Columbia and Princeton. However, both events were canceled due to pressure from Muslim groups on campus. Darwish is an Egyptian-American human rights activist, scholar of Islam, and founder of Arabs For Israel. Darwish has been speaking out against the Muslim ever since her father, an Egyptian Lieutenant General was killed in an Israeli Raid.
Nonie is outspoken on how the Muslim culture is threatening lives throughout America. Arab Society president Sami Yabroudi and former president Sarah Mousa issued a joint statement, claiming: “Nonie Darwish is to Arabs and Muslims what Ku Klux Klan members, skinheads and neo-Nazis are to other minorities, and we decided that the role of her talk in the logical, intellectual discourse espoused by Princeton University needed to be questioned.” To compare a courageous woman standing up for human rights for Muslim women and ex-Muslims with the KKK or neo-Nazis is wrong! Taking away the opportunity for the students at Columbia and Princeton University to hear the true threats that the Muslim culture brings to America is also wrong!
