Controversial Speaker at 7pm TONIGHT in Follinger Auditorium!!! PLEASE ATTEND!!!<br>
To: <br><br><br>Hello all. I just was made aware of this event. Dr. Daniel Pipes is being brought here to give a talk tonight at 7pm in Follinger. It is being cosponsored by Hillel, the Åmerican-Israeli Coalition, and other Pro-Israel, Islamophobic groups. Following is more information. Please join us in making sure the hatred and Islamophobic sentiments that will be spread tonight is not welcome on our campus!!!<br>
<br>
<div>The event is on the Hillel calendar, and also has a Facebook page,
on which it says this:</div>

<div>"Does the "War on Terror" still exist? Dr. Daniel Pipes, Middle
East scholar, author, and lecturer, will address this question, and shed
light on a tumultuous struggle which extends from distant deserts to
academic halls, from the sheep farm to the metropolis. You won't want to
miss this amazing opportunity to hear Dr. Pipes' message, and ask him
your questions directly!<br><br>Dr. Pipes studies, writes, and lectures
nationwide on the <span>...</span><span>conflict between radical Islam
and the West. He knows Arabic, and has his doctorate in medieval Islamic
history; his studies have led him to conclude that "It's a mistake to
blame Islam, a religion 14 centuries old, for the evil that should be
ascribed to militant Islam, a totalitarian ideology less than a century
old. Militant Islam is the problem, but moderate Islam is the solution."
He has taught world history at the University of Chicago, history
at Harvard, and policy strategy at the Naval War College, in addition
to directing the Foreign Policy Research Institute serving at the U.S.
Institute of Peace. Today he directs the thinktank he founded, the
Middle East Forum, and oversees Campus Watch, a project that critiques
academic literature published by North American Middle East departments.
His personal website is at <a href="http://www.danielpipes.org/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><font color="#3b5998">www.DanielPipes.org</font></a>.<br><br>This
event is cosponsored by Stand With Us, the David Project, the Jewish
Community Relations Council, the Hillel Foundation at the University of
Illinois, the Chabad Jewish Center at the University of Illinois &
Champaign-Urbana, the American-Israeli Student Coalition, Great News
Radio (WGNN/WGNJ), the Orange and Blue Observer, and the Illini
Conservative Union."</span></div>
<p><span></span> </p>
<p><span>Certainly, speakers and organizations like this are promoting
hate and Islamophobia. Hillel should be taken to task for this, let's
make that clear. Nevertheless, I'm not at all sure what response is
merited to what will most likely--in this era--be a poorly attended
event.</span></p><br clear="all"><font color="#888888"><br>-- <br>University of Illinois Campus Antiwar Network<br><a href="http://www.campusantiwar.net/" target="_blank">http://www.campusantiwar.net/</a><br><a href="http://uiuccan.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">http://uiuccan.blogspot.com/</a><br>
