While they shut down debate elsewhere at universities all over the west:

German academic's lecture on 'Islamic anti-Semitism' cancelled in London

Matthias Kuntzel (3d R) is a German expert on Iran and research associate at the Vidal Sassoon International Centre for the Study of Anti-Semitism at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

LONDON (AFP)--- A lecture by a German expert on "Islamic anti-Semitism" at a British university was cancelled over concerns the lecturer would be attacked, The Times reported on Thursday.

The University of Leeds denied accusations that it was stifling academic freedoms when it cancelled Matthias Kuntzel’s lecture entitled "Hitler’s Legacy: Islamic anti-Semitism in the Middle East."

"I have been told that it has had to be cancelled for security reasons," Kuntzel told the daily.

"It seems there were concerns that there could be violence against my person."

Kuntzel, an expert on Iran and research associate at the Vidal Sassoon International Centre for the Study of Anti-Semitism at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, went on to say that in his experience "nothing like this has ever happened before -- this is censorship."

"It is a controversial area but I am accustomed to debate. I value the integrity of academic debate and I feel that it really is in danger here. This is a very important subject and if you cannot address it on university property, then what is a university for?"

The University of Leeds, however, said the reason the lecture had been cancelled was because proper stewarding arrangements for it had not been made.

Ahmed Sawalem, the president of the university’s student Islamic Society, said that he had contacted the vice-chancellor’s office to file an official complaint, but said the group had not asked for the event to be cancelled.

Excellent thread Yala, but it made my blood boil. It's impossible to make peace with such racist thugs. I am not optimistic about peace in the Middle East at all so long as the Arabs only see their side of the story, their victimhood, ignore cause and effect and ignore history. Sad!

The video is quite moving. I couldn't fit my own description in the title b/c if I post more than 3 words I can't post new threads...and I think by the current description people think it is simply a jihadist movie...I really want more people to see it, do you think I should repost?

I'm a bit surprised that you can only put three words for a title. Nevertheless, my suggestion is that you could put links from relevant parts of other threads pointing to this one. I'll try and do likewise.
