Viewpoints: UNC Hillel won’t stand for vilification of Muslim students

As co-president of UNC Hillel, I was surprised to receive an invitation from the Committee for a Better Carolina to publicize David Horowitz’s upcoming speech. I would have hoped that our opinions were already publicly known: UNCHillel does not support Horowitz’s repeated vilification of Muslims.

Over the past few years, Horowitz has periodically published ads in The Daily Tar Heel promoting his view of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which are, to say the least, inflammatory.

Though I personally disagree with the views furnished in these ads, UNC Hillel has not publicly challenged Horowitz’s political views in the past. Rather, we have and will continue to publicly denounce the ads’ anti-Muslim rhetoric.

Following each ad published in the DTH, UNC Hillel leaders have made it a priority to speak out in support of our Muslim peers. As a pluralistic organization, UNC Hillel sees inherent value in diverse opinions and therefore does not object to Horowitz being invited to speak on this campus.

However, after meeting with Horowitz personally and hearing his speech last night, I feel obligated to, once again, stand up against him.





  1. Horowitz has committed truth. He should be banned.

    Imagine anyone saying Islam is a militant religion bent on the destruction of Israel and the U.S,

    One only has to look at the 56 Muslim majority nations to understanf Islams goal of Peace and Love.

  2. Howard, I know you have good intentions. I think you’ve confused mainstream Islam with extremist Islam. It’s a bit like confusing T.D.Jakes with Randall Terry.

  3. Hooray!!! I am so glad to see this. I stand with all muslims and any person who stands for peace and understanding!

  4. Since when did the mooselimbs stand for peace and understanding? How many terror attacks have been commited since 9/11? I will tell you, over 11,000! Thats alot of peace and understanding. I don’t think the world can stand much more of allan’s brand of peace and undestanding. Peace<3

  5. For the record Chris GEnnett, it’s Muslims NOT mooselimbs.

  6. Howard’s confusion may be due to the fact that extremist Islam is in the saddle, and mainstream Islam is either supporting them or so cowed by the violence they don’t speak up.

  7. Ah, a islamophobic troll is what Chris Gennett is.

  8. May I just mention the Inqusition? Or the KKK that said blacks were not fully human? I am VERY sure the families those murdered in cold blood have LOTS of stories to tell about “christian” peace and love.

  9. Can you say the “Crusades”?

  10. […] curious what Horowitz is responding to, this sample from UNC Hillel President Josh Orol’s article should sum it up nicely: To make the broad claim that Arabs want to kill Jews — and that Islam is a militant religion […]

  11. It is not Horowitz that has confused extremist Islam with mainstream Islam. It is Josh Orol that has purposely deceived his readers by misrepresenting Horowitz speech. Josh Orol is a propagandist and apologist for the genocidal tendencies of Muslim leadership towards Israel.

    I’m thinking this is the type of Muslim Dave was talking about.


  14. Thanks for the link, Exclusive. “Everybody knows” that muslims are allowed to make genocidal screams against the Jews, US, kuffar, anyone else they don’t like, even during their worship/political hate rally services.

    Imagine yelling death to the muslims! Death to Islam! after church. People would be shocked, muslims especially.

    In the same link are stories about mosques building in residential areas and then demanding huge minarets to loom over the houses. When will cities learn to make religious zones to prevent the wreck of their neighborhoods.

  15. Oral print Horowitz reply you coward. For those who want to read it, go here.

    Dear Bronsom,

  16. Anon
    You’re always saying Muslims are allowed to say whatever they want and no one gives backlash. Are you joking? Deaf? Blind? An idiot? All anyone ever does is criticize Muslims; Herman Cain, Michelle Bachman, Pamela Geller, Rick Santorum,Ben Netanyahu, Ehud Olmert, Ben Gurion, Ariel Sharon, Nick Sarcozy, Robert Spencer, etc etc. Even when Islam first appeared, soo many people were against it, the Tribe of Quraysh, the whole Persian Empire, Etc. Just by saying what you said, you contradicted yourself-yet again.

  17. Imagine a priest of any other religion, or the leaders of any other countries coming out with the antagonistic homicidal garbage spewed by muslim leaders and clerics. The muslims allow it. Muslims allow lynching of minorities. Muslims make unjust laws against minorities.

    Muslim societies allow all this and murder dissenters. Very little backlash there.

    Then express astonishment at the disdain of the rest of the world.

  18. Oh and btw, did you check what those “terror attacks” are?

Have your say!
