UCLA insults Daniel Pipes

I believe that this country needs to start an anti-slander campaign. The islamists who continue to yell out their insults against whomever they wish need to be prosecuted for slander.

Had anti-slander laws been firmly in place, it is unlikely that the slaughter at Columbine High school and others around this nation would have happened.

1st Amendment rights does not give the right to anyone to make terrorist threats, nor does it allow anyone to scream fire or bomb where ever they wish. Should anyone attempt to do this in a public place like an aircraft, they would be prosecuted right away. Why are students allowed the right to say what they wish?

The bottom line is that the school protects these offenders because the school needs the money and is afraid of the muslims, who seem to have a very loud bark and tend to react with their emotions rather than their intellect.
