Ahmadinejad's Speech at Columbia University

Colin Hanna is the President of Let Freedom Ring, Inc., a non-profit, public policy organization.

Let Freedom Ring has an educational website listed at www.theirownwords.com. This educational website informs people about what jihadist's say about Christianity, America, Western Civilization and Israel. This information does not come from the perspective of Christianity or the West. Instead, the site contains the words of the jihadist's themselves. This information is presented so that people can see and hear what is being said from the source. This way people can decide whether to take these individuals seriously or not.

This Crosstalk aired on the afternoon when Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was speaking at Columbia University. Colin noted how we must be free to allow all forms of religious expression but to draw the line at expression that foments hate or legitimizing, on a religious basis, the killing of innocents in the name of Allah. He believes this isn't mere religious speech. He believes this is hate speech in its most virulent form.

Other topics included how Islam is influencing Europe, the introduction of Sharia law into American law, the radical vs. moderate Muslim distinction, and more.
