向右轉, 向前走

布朗大學因為穆斯林學生的抗議而取消了由女性中心及一個猶太學生社團Hillel, 所邀請的, Nonie Darwish的演講. 這個令人生氣的新聞(見本文最後)告訴了我們爲什麼沒有穆斯林出來批判恐怖主義了 --- 他們的族人不允許, 即便是在美國這種自由的地方. 我們的言論自由正一天一天的,在假性平等, 及極端自由主義的大聲喧囂中,在消失中.

說到這個, 讓我來寫一下我心目中的"阿拉伯當代三女傑"吧, 她們都是有頭腦, 有肩膀, 腰桿挺直, 敢言, 不怕被左派貼標籤的新時代女性.

CNN Source "Muslims Author Prevented from Speaking at Brown"

"Muslims are often accused of not speaking out sufficiently against terrorism. Nonie Darwish knows one reason why: Their fellow Muslims won't let them.

Darwish, who comes from Egypt and was born and raised a Muslim, was set to tell students at Brown University about the twisted hatred and radicalism she grew to despise in her own culture. A campus Jewish group, Hillel, had contacted her to speak there Thursday.

But the event was just called off.

Muslim students had complained that Darwish was "too controversial." They insisted she be denied a platform at Brown, and after contentious debate Hillel agreed.

Weird: No one had said boo about such Brown events as a patently anti-Israel "Palestinian Solidarity Week." But Hillel said her "offensive" statements about Islam "alarmed" the Muslim Student Association, and Hillel didn't want to upset its "beautiful relationship" with the Muslim community.

Plus, Brown's women's center backed out of co-sponsoring the event, even though it shares Darwish's concerns about the treatment of women. Reportedly, part of the problem was that Darwish had no plans to condemn Israel for shooting Arab women used by terrorists as human shields, or for insufficiently protecting Israeli Arab wives from their husbands.

In plugging their ears to Darwish, Brown's Muslim students proved her very point: Muslims who attempt constructive self-criticism are quickly and soundly squelched - by other Muslims. "
