Tunisia Live reported, via Jihad Watch:
Yesterday, Abdelfatah Mourou, a prominent Tunisian Islamist figure, was hospitalized after he was attacked by an attendee of a conference entitled, Tolerance in Islam, which he was heading in Kairouan.
The assailant struck Mourou in the head with what appeared to be a water glass following a dispute. Mourou passed out and was taken to the hospital, where he was given five stitches in the forehead.
Mourou, who is one of the founding members of Tunisia’s eminent Islamist Ennahdha party, was chairing the conference with Ridha Belhaj, the head of the ultra-conservative Hizb-ut-Tahrir party, and Youssef Seddik, a well-known Tunisian philosopher.
“Certain people intervened, and tried to force Youssef Seddik to leave. They started insulting him, claiming that he said bad things about Sayida Ai’cha – the wife of the prophet. I tried to convince those people that this is not true and that it was not Seddik who said that. I was there, and, on the contrary, Seddik tried to defend her,” Mourou explained in an interview with Tunisian radio station Shems FM
In response to the attack, Morou [sic] said, “I am fine now, the damage is moral… We are here to speak about tolerance, but those people are ignorant of true Islam. I don’t know what his [the attacker's] political orientation is, and regardless, this is not part of Islam.”…

We are finally able to sort things out without any fatalities and we are aware of this global telescope we are under. Sorry for the misunderstanders.

“this is not part of Islam.”
Yep, it’s ALL of Islam.

A “Tolerance in Islam” conference turns violent. Sounds like a Monty Python skit.

Is that what irony is?

Islamists use tricky slogans to advance their interests just like Democrats.

Only Buzz didn’t slaughter everyone in town that didn’t bow to him, and him alone.
There’s that.

NOBODY understands what Islam is and if you want proof try and point out visible passages in the Qu’ran that are completely clear…and watch them hem and haw.
Jim commented:
Let’s hope the damndemocrats follow this same path of tolerance at their convention.

Media demonize Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood
["I consider the Brotherhood to be a threat to Egypt," said one of
the eight, prize-winning novelist Gamal el-Ghetani. "We are living
a moment that may be similar to (Adolf) Hitler's rise to power."]

Tunisians See Washington as Too Cozy with Islamists
["People here are against the United States helping Ennahda," a
journalist told Totten. "All Americans who come here are against
the Islamists, but the American government is supporting them.
I wishwe had a good, modern, respectful Islamic party. I'm a
Muslim and I'm proud of it, but I'm not proud of this party."
The government is seen as far too cozy with radical Salafists,
looking the other way as the radicals stake a claim to the new
society. Ennahda members joined the Salafists in a recent rally
calling for Sharia law in Tunisia.]

The trouble with “Jumah at the DNC”
[It is troubling that the Democratic National Convention has decided
to promote and lend its name and national political platform to the
organizers of the “Jummah at the DNC”. The leaders of this event –
Jibril Hough and Imam Siraj Wahhaj as advertised are no moderates.
They are radicals. These individuals embrace Islamist supremacy and
have demonstrated support for radical ideologies.]
Dr. Zuhdi Jasser on DNC Convention and Islamists
is no one paying any attention??

Obama Administration Paves the Way for Sharia Law
The most terrifying danger Americans face from a second Barack Obama term isn’t the economy, which is scary enough.
The most harrowing prospect is the Obama Administration’s passivity in the face of attempts to introduce aspects of sharia law into our legal system. Now there is strong and open evidence of the Obama administration collaborating with Islamist activists to ensure the path toward sharia law is accelerated.
Just last week, Thomas Perez, Assistant Attorney General of the Department of Justice (DOJ) Civil Rights Division, was asked this question by Trent Franks (R-AZ), a member of the House Judiciary Committee Subcommittee on the Constitution: “Will you tell us here today that this Administration’s Department of Justice will never entertain or advance a proposal that criminalizes speech against any religion?”
Perez refused to answer. Four times.
And why would Franks target Perez?
Here’s why:
Last October, at George Washington University, there was a meeting between DOJ officials, including Perez, and Islamist advocates against free speech. Representatives from the Islamist side included Mohamed Magid, president of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA). The ISNA was an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas terror funding trial in 2008, as well as functioning as a Muslim Brotherhood Front. The leader of the Islamist attack was Sahar Aziz, an Egyptian-born American lawyer and Fellow at the Institute for Social Policy and Understanding, a Muslim advocacy group based in Michigan. At the meeting, the Islamists lobbied for:
Cutbacks in U.S. anti-terror training
Limits on the power of terrorism investigators
Changes in agent training manuals
A legal declaration that criticism of Islam in the United States should be considered racial discrimination
Aziz said that the word “Muslim” has become “racialized” and, once American criticism of Islam was silenced, the effect would be to “take [federal] money away from local police departments and fusion centers who are spying on all of us.”
And what was the response from Perez and the DOJ officials?
Nothing.
That’s right: no objection, no defense of our first amendment right to free speech.
