What I have found particularly galling is the torrent of “She has a right to free speech, but…” coming not just from the left, but also from the right.
Critics – including most of the media – claim that what Geller did was provocative. They never stop to note, as Harris put it, “The point is not (and will never be) that some free person spoke, or wrote, or illustrated in such a manner as to inflame the Muslim community. The point is that only [emphasis added] the Muslim community is combustible in this way.”
Harris goes on to say, “Muslims appear to be far more concerned about perceived slights to their religion than about the atrocities committed daily in its name.”
This goes to the heart of Geller’s event in Garland and what I see not as a provocation, but as a challenge. » | Brad Thor * | Friday, May 08, 2015
