Why can’t we have a “conversation” about militant Islam?


Legal Insurrection  “The conversation about militant Islam has been systematically repressed.”

"If you’re paying attention to what the mainstream media is selling, you know that when it comes to militant Islam, the world has a big censorship problem. The Lawfare Project just released a new video that offers up a laundry list of examples of times when the criticism and discussion of radical Islam has been censored, repressed, or fought via “lawfare.”
 

 
"I think Lawfare has an excellent point; right now, we’re in the middle of the annual “War on Christmas,” in which the entire country (world? probably) “has a conversation” about the propriety of hosting a Nativity scene during a holiday season that celebrates the Nativity.
 
"By “conversation,” of course, we mean “conversation about how best to push religious expression into the shadows (unless it involves the Koran, in which case, rock on.)”
 
"I don’t think we’ll ever win the war against censorship—they’ll keep trying, and we’ll keep fighting to have our voices heard. But the key to make sure the world hears the voices of those radical Islam has touched is to keep speaking."   Related: The Lawfare Project

Cornell Univ. Police Chief apologizes for saying #AllLivesMatter instead of #BlackLivesMatter
"College Insurrection and others recently reported how the President of Smith College apologized to the student body for using the term “All Lives Matter” rather than “Black Lives Matter.” A Cornell engineering student just tweeted to me about a similar statement from the Chief of the Cornell University Police, Kathy Zoner, in an all campus email." ... More on this.

Holder was right; we are a nation of cowards.
