Marya Bangee, a third-year sociology and English double major and the Muslim Student Union external public relations officer, discussed Dr. Yaron Brook’s November 6 lecture at UCI.
“It seems like when the more conservative groups go up to have their say, the more liberal groups always get arrested,â€? suggested Marya Bangee to the New University in a recent article. “It’s the extreme right and the extreme left coming at each other. Yaron Brook is basically discredited. He’s calling upon the mass genocide of thousands upon thousands of innocent people.”
Here is what Bangee had to say to CampusJ:
The Muslim Student Union decided not to participate in the Yaron Brook forum because we did not think a fringe group like Ayn Rand represented a large group of students at UC Irvine. As MSU, we felt that any neutral party who attended the event would recognize hate speech — advocating mass murder, no less — for what it is, and make their own appropriate judgements. Any group that advocates the murder of millions of innocent people does not have a legitimate voice. As Muslims, we believe human life is sacred, and we find this type of speech sad and disturbing. There were individual MSU members that asked questions and attempted to show the fallacies of his logic, but overall it was disappointing to see a perspective that is so obviously misinformed and ignorant about Islam and Muslims.
The name of Dr. Brook’s speach was “Defeating Islamic Totalitarianism”. Which points out that radical Islam does not value human life.
Actually, Dr. Brook’s lecture was called: “Destroying Islamic Totalitarianism: The West’s Moral Imperative”. And correct, Islamists do not value human life, but Allah.
Ayatollah Khomeini at the time of the hostage crisis, way back in 1979: “We do not worship Iran. We worship Allah,” he declared, “For patriotism is another name for paganism. I say let this land (Iran) burn. I say let this land go up in smoke, provided Islam emerges triumphant in the rest of the world.”
