If so, why is it OK? They're praising Allah that ISIS is growing! I bet anything that they are going to school on our money too. Go ahead and call me a racist, I don't care. I'm not against Muslims, I'm against anyone promoting a terrorist group in our own country, but I know people like to throw out the racist card when they can't think of anything else to say. I'm sick of everyone treading around on tiptoe, afraid to say the wrong thing. They have a lot of nerve doing this, especially after 9-11. They know they can get away with anything they say. They talk about killing Americans outside their mosques. This is not OK!

It's disrespectful to be in the audience and disrupt a speaker. You wouldn't do that to Hillary Clinton or Obama and similarly it shouldn't be done to Pam Geller.

These students should have protested their love for their God from outside the building. What they did is an outrage. Even though Pam's statements were completely false, there's no reason for this kind of behavior. It's okay to be Muslim and show your love for Allah... but not in a disruptive manner... no matter how much of an imbecile the speaker was.

The video doesn't match the hyperbolic description. The heckling is mild. Most of the students are listening quietly.

I thought the same thing. If the headline hadn't told me what was shouted, I wouldn't have heard it. That was hardly a mass chaotic, bone chilling incident. For that matter, was it a Muslim who disrupted...or was it someone who wanted to irritate the speaker? Who knows?

The OP is linking to a bias source. If you look into it more, you quickly realize how idiotic the article and post are. This is a good demonstration of the lack of comprehension skills in America.

As with every video out there, I have to wonder what happened before the camera started to roll? I have a sneaking suspicion that the speaker might have said something to degrade the Muslims in that group, which in turn, prompted the shout out from the audience.

Again, we don't know. I wont let someone else tell me what to think or believe. Sometimes I'm right. Sometimes I'm wrong. But I'm never lead by the nose.

Wow, you must've had a slow morning. You really found the needle in the haystack this morning.

It sounded like perhaps one kid in the audience. And they were probably being obnoxious. I think they were probably just pissed off at the infamous Pam Geller, who has made it her life's mission, to slander Muslims. They were probably angry that this woman got a mouthpiece at their college.

I doubt very much that this kid, if they really knew what ISIS was, supports ISIS.

Shame on you, OP. You wrote: I'm not against Muslims, I'm against anyone promoting a terrorist group in our own country, but I know people like to throw out the racist card when they can't think of anything else to say.

They talk about killing Americans outside their mosques.

How come you scour the internet looking for anti-Muslim material to post on these boards? At the very least, balance your posts with the positive things Muslims are doing. And again, look at your source! Talk about having an agenda!

Ah-Ha! I knew it! Thanks for the info on Pam Geller. I'd never heard of her before, so I wasn't aware of her Muslim-slandering mission. That explains the entire incident.

Sure, it's within the rights of all Americans to say whatever they want.

Shame on you for scolding me! I don't have to scour the internet to find anti Muslim material. Pick up a newspaper/magazine, turn on the news, talk to someone, go on just about any website. Go into some forums right here, you already know that. There are videos that have the entire recording on them. I just read that one because it was the first one.

Sites like this are for people to state their opinions. You don't have to scold someone just because you happen to have a different opinion. You are so defensive. Of course you have to mock the source. That's what a lot of people do when they don't care for what the source says.

Balance my posts with positive things Muslims do? Why don't you do that, and I can make a list of the negative attributes and we can see which ones longer. I think that's been done on here before. Of course you would probably say "Well, look at your source."

You know what they say. Not every Muslim is a terrorist, but every terrorist is a Muslim. But you go ahead and put on your rose colored glasses and enjoy the Kool- Aid.


Oh, and Pam Geller is a famous person. Just because someone hasn't heard of her doesn't mean she's not. All kinds of companies are on a list that want her to speak at their events.
