Academia is forbidding all critical examination of Islam. Any negative conclusion is forbidden prior to a discussion of the religion or the culture. When it comes to Islam or Muslims the unspoken rule is "think only good thoughts."

Islam: Think Only Good Thoughts
Academia is forbidding all critical examination of Islam. Any negative conclusion is forbidden prior to a discussion of the religion or the culture. When it comes to Islam or Muslims the unspoken rule is "think only good thoughts."
From today's Wall Street Journal:
"Last Saturday, at a university-sponsored event ... a group of former students launched a research fund in honor of Martin Peretz, a former teacher in the program and the longtime editor in chief of the New Republic. After the event adjourned, the afternoon turned ugly as police had to protect Mr. Peretz while he walked across campus surrounded by a mob of screaming students."What was Marty's sin? Peretz said:
"Muslim life is cheap, most notably to Muslims. And among those Muslims led by the Imam Rauf [of the proposed Cordoba House mosque] there is hardly one who has raised a fuss about the routine and random bloodshed that defines their brotherhood. So, yes, I wonder whether I need honor these people and pretend that they are worthy of the privileges of the First Amendment which I have in my gut the sense that they will abuse."
Can we debate this? What was the response?
... Stephen Walt of the Kennedy School of Government, who co-authored a book, "The Israel Lobby," which argues that a conspiracy skews American policy in the Middle East in favor of Israel. Mr. Walt's blog on the web site of Foreign Policy magazine offers readers a series of Mr. Peretz's statements "displaying hatred and contempt for Muslims, Arabs, and other minorities."Read the rest here.
