Students (St Louis black racists) walk out of veteran’s speech to protest his use of term 'radical Islam'

[Bradley K. Sperman]

More than 100 students walked out on retired U.S. Army Lt.
Colonel Allen West on Thursday as he began a speech at Saint
Louis University to discuss the threat of radical Islam.

The students protesters — led by the SLU Rainbow Alliance and
the Muslim Students’ Association — had arrived early and filled
many of the seats in the two-story auditorium where West was
slated to speak. As he took the stage they stood up and filed
out.

At issue is West’s use of the term “radical Islam” — also the
subject of his speech.

Last week an administrator at Saint Louis University told the
conservative and Republican students organizing the talk that
they were not allowed to use the words “radical Islam” on
advertisements for the event, reported Young America’s
Foundation, which sponsored the talk.

In response, West wrote an article saying he had been
“censored,” called modern college students who seek safe spaces
“little cupcakes,” and added:

I along with the YAF activists will not back down from this
challenge. And if this is just a case of ill-conceived political
correctness, we’ll rectify that. But, if this is a case of the
influence of stealth jihad radical Islamic campus organizations
such as the Muslim Student Association, an affiliate of the
Muslim Brotherhood, then you will be exposed. And I recommend to
the President of St. Louis University, you do not want it known
that a radical Islamic organization is dictating speakers on
your campus — that is not the type of PR you really want.

The fiery comments and the subject of his speech prompted the
walk out.

“Our administrator made a request for him to tailor his speech
to our community, and in response he made a lot of hateful
comments about our students,” student Claire Cunningham told The
Riverfront Times.

Saint Louis University president Fred Pestello told students in
an email he stood in “solidarity” with them, calling West a
“provocateur.”

The students — reportedly inspired by West calling them “little
cupcakes” — also sold cupcakes outside the venue with proceeds
to benefit Syrian refugees. As the students left the auditorium,
West donated to the cause.

Had the students stayed, they would have heard a speech on how
radical Islamic terrorism has reached American shores, and how
the U.S. government is obfuscating the issue, and in some cases
apparently covering it up, calling terrorist attacks on U.S.
soil workplace violence or other names.

West cited more than a dozen terrorist attacks in America in
recent years inspired by radical Islam as he continued his
speech.

West said these issues should not be muddled in party politics,
considering that “during 9/11, no one came in looking for
Republicans or Democrats. They came looking to kill Americans.”

As a 22-year veteran who participated in both Operation Desert
Storm and Operation Iraqi Freedom, West also noted his extensive
experiences dealing with radical Islamic terrorism, saying that
“the greatest enjoyment I had was working with the Afghan army
to make sure little Afghani girls could go to school.”

As for the walk out, YAF national spokeswoman Emily Jashinsky
said the response received at SLU is not uncommon.

“This is what happens when students attempt to bring one
conservative speaker to a liberal campus,” she said. “Threatened
leftists do everything they can to erect obstacles.”
