Brandeis was awarding Ayan Hirse Ali an honorary degree that they have now withdrawn. I heard her speak at Harvard Kennedy School some yeas ago. She totally falsely attributed gender oppression and discrimination based in Somali tribal customs to Islam. I wanted to challenge her on that, but wasnt called on, was left frustrated and disturbed. Heres an article by Dukes Muslim chaplain, Imam Abdullah Antipli on the Brandeis issue: extract: I firmly and unequivocally support Ali and her supporters freedom to say whatever they want to say. I despise censorship and believe in the sanctity of freedom of speech. I also find Muslim hypersensitivity over criticism of Islam to be foolish and immature. The problem is, simply put, why a university with outstanding moral values would put a kosher seal of endorsement on hate, de-legitimization, dehumanization and exclusion and contradict herself with its core values? huff.to/1iAWja5
