Hirsi Ali made comments critical of Islam. She underwent genital mutilation and escaped Somalia as a child to avoid being raped by a Muslim paedophile. She was in the Netherlands making the case for women's rights in Muslim countries. After her assistant, Theo Van Gogh was decapitated by a Muslim, the Dutch expelled her because they felt the cost to protect her was too high. Now the Left Brandeis University excommunicates her for using the right guaranteed her in the First Amendment. I guess even being a black woman who bears the scars won't convince the Left to protect her against Islam.

But Islam trumps all.

believe that were they to deny their own rights and favour the rights of everyone else, then this will somehow ensure their own survival. They are delusional. The left are truly mentally challenged.

can stuff their honorary degree. This weighted PC nonsense is sickening. All good wishes to the brave Ms. Ali.

Every day islamist have space and jobs and they can say anything they want agains Judaism,Christianity,Hindus,Buddism,and they still get "rewards " (money,jobs,news coverage,etc..) and this woman i stelline the Truth about the true nature of Islam,h the religion of death and Deception,and she is to be silenced???? sorry for the University...the Truth must be told...

When other universities refuse to give honorary degrees to people who express anti-Semitic sentiments and call for the destruction of Israel, then some balance will have been restored. Until then, this is just a cowardly act of kow towing to muslim bullying under the guise of "political correctness".

The cowardice of Brandeis is disgusting. Ali faces great danger to tell the truth about Radical Islam. Honour this courageous woman.

Brandeis was originally a Jewish college. It's motto is still "אמת" (truth), written in Hebrew. Brandeis is a disgraceful representation of political correctness gone mad and of the irrelevance of the U.S. Constitution. Best to Ms. Ali.

with Meagan Kelly and was eloquent against CAIR's rep. ( I've already forgotten his name ) The adage, 'A prophet hath no honor in his own house' seems to fit. This woman is a hero with more courage than commonly seen. She's getting more publicity as does her nemesis, CAIR and, in the process, they make her a greater, better known heroine. How fitting that an apologist for this most vile of so called religions, CAIR representing Islam, makes the point more focused and more poignant by attacking this Lady and trying to keep her an abused object of Islam's wrath against females. The, CAIR insist they be heard in universities and debates but, also insist on shutting her up and out of what she's lived as a victim of Islam and their tortuous mistreatment of women including death that they call an 'honor.' The more they attack her, the more a natural response of the public listening to her will be the result. KEEP BUILDING !!!

I am surprised that Brandeis, of all places, withdrew the honor for someone daring to speak the truth! The institution is named after the first Jewish Chief Justice if the US Supreme Court and the university logo even includes the Hebrew word for truth, "emet". Louis Brandeis would not be proud of this!

Being black didn't protect Clarence Thomas. Being a woman didn't protect Sarah Palin. The liberals only support women and blacks who agree with them. If not the libs can be as racist and sexist as anyone. They can dish it out but they can't take it.

The President of the school should be fired for kowtowing to Muslim pressure. He must think that the 22,754 terrorist attacks carried out by Muslims since 9/11 are just someone's imagination. Hirsi has the guts to tell the truth, Brandeis doesn't. So much for 'higher education' at that university. Let's hope all the alumni forget to donate to them.

Nazism blush.

Brandeis - a middle class, white, upper economic level University or a woman who "... was raised in a strict Muslim family, [and] survived a civil war, genital mutilation, beatings and an arranged marriage..."

Muslim women who stand up to what's wrong with Islam. Thank goodness they're out there with the likes of Wafa Sultan and Brigitte Gabriel (a Christian Maronite). Brandeis should be ashamed to call itself a university for condoning barbarity not (forgive me for being uncharacteristically blunt) giving two hoots about what happened to Hirsi Ali's clitoris.

Was that mighty Jewish lobby ever able to deny a Muslim an honorary doctorate?

Brandeis University is not known for intellectual thinking, rather for leftist idiots. Of course they are against her since she sees Islam for what it really is: highly RACIST and willing to lie, kill and terrorize to achieve its goals. Give up on Brandeis University as being something with brains.

Here is a true defender of freedom and democracy who speaks from experience not theory, and Brandeis slaps her in the face. America is dead.

...a degree in Dhimmitude. But not a honorary one. They earned it.

brendeis allowed a minority of faculty and muslim students to punish a renouwned humanitarian for telling the truth about islamic parctices. brendeis chose to deny ayaan hirsi ali her right to free speech in an attempt to protect practices of sharia law.

How do you dare to say vile things about the greatest document ever written, the U.S. Constitution? I am sure you don't realize that the Bible you read so carefully underlies many of the concepts in the U.S. constitution, but not only. Greek and Roman philosophies, and much much more also underlay the Constitution and make it so UNIVERSALLY CORRECT. Yes, universally correct in every respect, including social, economic, political and philosophical thoughts. I wish my chosen country of origin, Israel, wrote a Constitution and tried very hard to make it as correct as the U.S. Constitution.

I agree that the U.S. Constitution is the greatest document ever written. My point is that its relevance is being dismantled under the current administration. Sorry for not making that clear.

I only regret not being a donor to Brandeis so that I could cease donating!

Sure, why not? Let's see, now -- women did not get the right to vote until 1918. Native Americans were denied the right to vote until 1924. Black Americans were subject to all manner of vile racism until well into the 1970s. Can Israel take 150 years to redress constitutionally imposed wrongs? Huh? And can Israel have a death penalty, too? The United States Constitution does not consider it cruel or unusual, and guess what? Neither do I. Can't wait for Israel to start executing terrorists. We could write execution for terrorists into the corpus of the brand-new constitution you think Israel needs. The hangman will be the busiest person in all of Israel and prisoner releases will be a thing of the past! You're an idiot, Michael. Shut up.

US government should remove all tax free donations and grants from Brandeis and sue them for anti semitism and restricting free speech as an agent of a foreign power. BUILDING LIKE CRAZY !!!
