      It seems to me that when people come to the west from more restrictive cultures (as it appears most Islamic countries are - whether the reason be religion, culture or a mixture of both), they ought to be prepared to live in and adapt to a society that is open. The history of immigration in the US shows that groups can successfully maintain many elements of their original cultural identity but still adapt and blend in with the larger culture. All of this is severely challenged when the religion of the immigrant group forbids mixing, touching and intermingling with the hosts, who are deemed unclean. Things get even worse when the religion calls for the immigrants to even attack their hosts in the name of that religion (surely many will argue that Islam values peace (and there are certainly some aspects and principles of Islam that are positive: charity, sobriety, etc, but there are many invitations to violence that simply can't be ignored). All of these young men appear to be assimilated in their own way, studying, serious, etc. But they likely vigorously defend their religion that calls them to take up arms if necessary.
      In short, we must INSIST that if they come here they not only learn English, etc, but learn to be open and tolerant. There's no other way. Our own tolerance/openness will be our undoing if we don't insist on it as a value for EVERYONE who comes here, not just people who like open western societies. As for their first amendment rights, they could've protested outside the hall, outside the building, held their own press conference, etc. Or, go home, where they'd probably be shot for doing the same thing.

      Under Sharia law, beheading is the appropriate punishment for these "people"!

      MUSLIMS ???----COINCIDENCE ???

      Pause a moment, reflect back.

      These events are actual events from history..

      They really happened. Do you remember?

      1. 1968 Bobby Kennedy was shot and killed by a Muslim male extremist.

      2. In 1972 at the Munich Olympics, athletes were kidnapped and
      massacred by Muslim male extremists.

      3. In 1979, the US embassy in Iran was taken over by Muslim male extremists

      4. During the 1980's a number of Americans were kidnapped in Lebanon
      by Muslim male extremists.

      5. In 1983, the US Marine barracks in Beirut was blown up by Muslim
      male extremists.

      6. In 1985 the cruise ship Achille Lauro was hijacked and a 70 year
      old American passenger was murdered and thrown overboard in his
      wheelchair by Muslim male extremists.

      7. In 1985 TWA flight 847 was hijacked at Athens, and a US Navy diver
      trying to rescue passengers was murdered by Muslim male extremists.

      8. In 1988, Pan Am Flight 103 was bombed by Muslim male extremists.

      9. In 1993 the World Trade Center was bombed the first time by Muslim
      male extremists.

      10. In 1998, the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania were bombed by
      Muslim male extremists.

      11. On 9/11/01, four airliners were hijacked; two were used as
      missiles to take down the World Trade Centers and of the remaining
      two, one crashed into the US Pentagon and the other was diverted and
      crashed by the passengers. Thousands of people were killed by Muslim
      male extremists.

      12. In 2002 the United States fought a war in Afghanistan against
      Muslim male extremists.

      13. In 2002 reporter Daniel Pearl was kidnapped and murdered by-- you

      They have freedom of speech, but not freedom to prevent others from speaking.
      • Kenneth 8 mths ago
        It is hard to speak when you head is in your hand.
      • Refrig Me 8 mths ago
        Humm, Freedom of Speech also means freedom not to speak. Try telling that to a grand jury. What we have now is a fascist dictatorship chaired by a Harvard Grad in the role of puppet for the Global Elite. Any court can and will tell you, 'this is not your time to speak". You are in contempt if you speak out of turn especially in Chicago. Honestly, why speak to anyone at this point. Try to enjoy your life before its over. Save your breath and your life.

        how else should they protest? come on dude
    • Jerry  •  8 mths ago
      What about the muslem crimes against humanity. Remember 9/11. We need to get rid of all of them before we end up in a war in the USA.

      • Halco 8 mths ago

    • TheDevilYouSay  •  8 mths ago
      Like they say. If you don't like what your government is doing write your congressman or woman. Treat them like hikers in Iran, send them to prison and ask for $500,000.00 each for their release. Maybe by the time our liberties and freedoms have all been taken away and our constitution and bill of rights are used against us by actions similar to theirs. We will be reduced to the state of a third world country. Not too far off right now. Don't student unions represent all students? Why does there have to be a separate student union just for Muslims? It's things like this that create rifts between the races and brings and generates divisions amongst all the people.
    • phillip  •  8 mths ago
      Somehow when i hear about muslims complaining about jews and crimes against humanity disingenuous. What are their records on their campaign against crimes against humanity. Start with your own back yard. Speak against the jihadist, the murders across the globe in the name of your religion, and Allah. Maybe then I will listen to you about how the jews might have slighted you.

    • Mark  •  8 mths ago
      A hundred professors who should read the US Constitution. I guess professors aren't as intelligent as they would like you to believe.
    • J Carter Wilder  •  8 mths ago
      Public disruption IS NOT freedom of speech! If they were outside holding signs, that would be a different matter. They got what was coming to them! Cause trouble GET PUNISHED!
    • Frank  •  8 mths ago
      The hundred Professors are a part of the problem.
    • Sigman  •  8 mths ago
      Remember this Muslims for when others shout down your speakers...
    • JoostZ  •  8 mths ago
      It's high time that those sheep followers of "The Religion of Peace" showed less hypocrisy, grew some balls and protested against the wife beating and terrorist killings that their Muslim brethren inflict upon the world.
    • babs68  •  8 mths ago
      They are bullies & will not stop. Why do we allow every newcomer/visitor to our country to walk all over us? when Americans are there, women, they have to cover etc.... but here in America, we have to bow down to them & respect their irrational beliefs..... Jesus" where am I?
    • genius  •  8 mths ago
      In their country, we tried this stunt, our heads would be chopped off... Political Correctness is going to get us killed... This is not the only crap these arab muslim feces will pull, and they are coordinated with other arab muslim groups thru-out the country... New York City will be like dearborn, Michigan where sharia law is already being enforced....
    • Gigi  •  8 mths ago
      At Duke University Dr. Oren was a guest speaker and the same thing happened as well as when Amb. John Bolton was the invited guest. It's just rude, discourteous behavior. They want their opinions heard but do not grant that courtesy to others.
    • Bud  •  8 mths ago
      There is no such thing as a moderate muslim. They are taught to hate anyone who does not have their beliefs....period
