Fox News: Brandeis University withdraws planned honorary degree for Islam critic Ayaan Hirsi Ali

Brandeis University in Massachusetts announced Tuesday that it had withdrawn the planned awarding of an honorary degree to Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a staunch critic of Islam and its treatment of women, after protests from students and faculty.

Ali, a member of the Dutch Parliament from 2003 to 2006, has been quoted as making comments critical of Islam. That includes a 2007 interview with Reason Magazine in which she said of the religion, "Once it's defeated, it can mutate into something peaceful. It's very difficult to even talk about peace now. They're not interested in peace. I think that we are at war with Islam. And there's no middle ground in wars."

Fox News: Journalists’ guide to Islam called cave-in to political correctness

A "how-to" guide published by a prominent journalism school to help reporters covering Islam-related issues is under fire from critics who say it sacrifices the First Amendment to political correctness.

"Islam for Journalists,” an online guide from Washington State University, says coverage of the Muslim world can be fair, yet inoffensive without compromising journalistic principles. Yet it pointedly condemns publication of images of Muhammed, an act which is forbidden by the Koran, and seems to equate it with violence carried out in the name of Islam.

Here's the irony. The "how-to guide" was inspired by such events as the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten publishing two editorial cartoons depicting the Islamic prophet in 2005, calling the effort "an attempt to contribute to the debate about criticism of Islam and self-censorship." Of course, the Danish Muslim groups went bonkers and put out a "death warrant" on the cartoonist.

In 2009, a book entitled "The Cartoons that Shook the World" was published, but the author was shocked to discover some content was censored by the publisher, Yale University Press. The author of said book? Jutte Klausen, a professor at Brandeis University!

Brandeis took it's professor's part in the resulting scuffle over content, but has now taken the opposite position by canceling Ali's appearance. The Washington State "how-to" guide is a complete capitulation to academic and media freedom of speech, done solely to favor Islam, and not tick off the terrorists.

Which, as Ali said, are Islam itself.

I agree this is happening, but there is only one way for this to happen and that is what we are seeing today which is the falling away. The church has for years been turning from sound doctrine unto fables and we are and will see the results.
