Temple Muslim Students Association Attempts To Shut Down Wilders Event
By David Horowitz
The Temple Muslim Students Association is attempting to shut down the scheduled appearance of Geert Wilders on Oct. 20. As part of its Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week, and its campaign to Stop the Campus War Against Israel and the Jews, the David Horowitz Freedom Center is sponsoring appearances by Dutch Parliamentarian Geert Wilders at Temple and Columbia universities (Oct. 20 and 21). The Muslim Students Association has issued a statement condemning the event and calling on the Temple Administration to close it down. The David Horowitz Freedom Center statement follows:
David Horowitz Freedom Center Response To The Muslim Students Association
The Temple Muslim Students Association has issued a call to the Temple University administration to censor the forthcoming campus appearance of Dutch Parliamentarian Geert Wilders on the 20th of October, which is sponsored by the David Horowitz Freedom Center. The Temple administration should reject this attack on the First Amendment rights of all members of the Temple community.
It is not surprising that the Muslim Students Association would seek to shut down the free speech of Dutch parliamentarian Geert Wilders who has been an outspoken critic of Islamic terrorists and Islamic attacks on Jews and other religions. Assaults on the First Amendment and efforts to censor critics of radical Islam are, in fact, typical of the tactics used by the Muslim Students Association, the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the Muslim American Society, all groups which support the jihad against the west and are part of the network created by the Muslim Brotherhood, which is the parent organization of the terrorist groups al-Qaeda and Hamas. The faculty advisor for Temple MSA is presently a member of the Muslim Brotherhood.
It is the height of hypocrisy for the Muslim Students Association to accuse Geert Wilders of spreading hate or anyone of being a hate group. Chapters of MSA at UC Irvine and Ohio State have raised money for the terrorist group Hamas whose goal — as stated in its official charter — is the destruction of the Jewish state and the extermination of the Jews. Speakers sponsored by the MSA have called for the execution of homosexuals, war against the United States and the destruction of the Jewish state and the extermination of the Jews. Every year, on the day commemorating the birth of the Jewish state, the MSA sponsors nationwide campus protests against the existence of the Jewish state calling its creation the “nakba” – the catastrophe. This is an act of genocidal hate.
Temple MSA refers to the fact that security will be necessary at the event as proof that Geert Wilders is dangerous. This is the perfect Orwellian mindset of supporters of the jihad. The threat to the Wilders event making security measures necessary comes from Muslim radicals who have already assassinated two prominent Dutch critics of Islamic terrorism – Pym Fortun and Theo Van Gogh (who not incidentally both happened to be gay).
In point of fact Wilders has not been tried by any Dutch court, and was recently exonerated by a British court which declared the ban on his entry illegal.
The Temple community should reject the call by the MSA to censor free speech on the Temple campus, and should recognize it for what it is – an assault on the right of all Americans to have a democracy that is inclusive, tolerant and respectful of the rights of others.

" Where's my comment?
I admire Geert Wilders so much. All he does is tell the truth about oppressive, totalitarian, anti-free speech, supremacist 7th century AD Islam. But, Islam cannot stand the truth, which is why it's followers are always seeking to silence and muzzle those in the West who rightfully criticize it's barbaric tenets.
You want "hate?" - that's Jew/Christian-Hating Islam. You want a War/Hate Manual? - that's the Koran.
Oh, and btw, Temple MSA, the reason there will be security at this event is to PROTECT GEERT WILDERS from you Muslims. That's a no-brainer. ANYONE who "dares" speak out against Islam must be protected from Muslims who feel "insulted" or "offended," and who feel 100% justified in harming or killing the person who "dares" criticize your "religion" of hate and mass-murder. The whole world knows this - you're not fooling anyone!
Bravo to Geert Wilders, the bravest man in the West. And bravo to the American First Amendment in which ANYTHING, including Islam, can be criticized, satirized, mocked, and ridiculed. This is a FREE society. If you don't like Freedom of Speech, then go back to your Islamic countries where there isn't any. Indeed, where to speak out against Islam is a death-penalty crime.
