Free Speech Under Assault in the ‘Land of the Free’

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is in the process of trying to intimidate Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch fame by getting their lawyers to try and put a stop to Robert Spencer speaking to the Young America’s Foundation (YAF) about Islam.

It is no surprise that CAIR wish to stifle free speech, since Muslims generally do not understand the concept of free speech and liberty. What is surprising, however, is that it has come to this so quickly in the US – the ‘Land of the Free’. One is left asking oneself the very important question: For how much longer will America be the ‘Land of the Free’?

This is a very disturbing development for liberty-lovers everywhere!

Robert Spencer’s response:

Note the personal smears, the attempt to bully and intimidate, and the non-specificity of the charges against me (they can’t be specific, because I don’t say anything inaccurate about them — or about Islam or jihad).

Note also the irony: this letter comes a day after CAIR’s Ibrahim Hooper slandered me on national television by ascribing to me hateful words written by someone else — which appeared on this site for about an hour, during which, lo and behold, someone at CAIR was watching.

I was speaking to a YAF official who told me that I was scheduled to speak as planned: “CAIR can go to Hell and they can take their 72 virgins with them.”

My own reply to CAIR: remember McAuliffe at Bastogne.
