Daniel Pipes gave a lecture at UCI on January 31. Pipes discussed the fate of Israel and the threat of fundamentalism.
In the following clip, starting at around five minutes and forty seconds, members of UC Irvine's Muslim Student Union (MSU) begin to protest Daniel Pipes.
I went outside to hear what the MSU had to say regarding the event. Not only did I get a personal 'shout out’ and very strange acknowledgment from the MSU, but I distinctly heard MSU members/leaders state that Israel will soon be wiped off the earth and that Zionist students have no future. They also clearly identified with the way their “brothers” are doing things overseas. Nice.
You won't see or hear this anywhere else because I was the only one out there with the mob.

Congrats on hitting the front page of Little Green Footballs! (currently the first post, to boot!)
Check out the link for an additional video that someone appears to have begun recording midway through the walkout...
Mazel Tov and keep up the good work!

You've got guts. I remember reading your article about the administration. I though that was pretty cool...until this. I cannot believe you chased a mob of rioting people outside the building. Keep up the good work.
DAMN girl. I guess there is no mistaking that the Muslims at this university are big terrorist supporters.
I wondre why the police didn't do more. That event could have gotten out of hand quickly.

I just want to say a few words, because I know a lot of people, before this program today, we had many ideas on how things should be done. And there was a lot of chatter going back and forth, and some people wanted to make bold statements, some people wanted to have a silent protest, [inaudible].
But at the end I just want to make one comment, that what we did by walking out of there, it really helps us be very very very powerful, and I want you guys all to go home and just realize, and that is everything, like Daniel Pipes is saying, everything for them is to boost their morale. This whole program was to boost their morale, make them feel as if Israel is there to stay. And that they’re gonna ... he’s trying to garner support for the state of Israel.
And by having a university campus, a bunch of students all walk out, this is trash, this is garbage ... it really defeats ... it deflates the morale of everyone in that room. So right now they’re all pretty depressed in there. [Laughter.]
And they’re gonna go out there and they’re gonna think, they’re gonna try to make people think they’re powerful for a minute. But when they go home, they’re gonna be like, crap. We’re in the middle of America, we’re in Irvine, a public [inaudible] ... and this whole campus hates our guts. [Laughter.]
They have no future. And it’s just a matter of time before the state of Israel will be wiped off the face of the earth.
[Crowd: Takbir! Allahu akbar!]
Justice will be restored then. Those people who are there legitimately ... the people there will, will rule. There will be no injustice any more there.
So just keep on doing what we’re doing. Our weapon, our jihad, our way of struggling in this country is with our tongues. We speak out, and we deflate their morale, and this is the best we can do right now. And our brothers and sisters on the other side of the world, they’re handling business in their own way. May Allah give them strength ... [inaudible]
[Crowd: Takbir! Allahu akbar!]
Thank you very much for all of the comments.
Concerned UCI Student: You're the best!
anonymous 1: Thank you. I feel that it is very important to expose the MSU and their disgusting rhetoric to the public.
anonymous 2: I am very thankful to UCIPD. However, had the MSU acted more rashly, I don't know that a few police would have been able to get things under control. I was worried about the same fact. Thanks for your comment.
Concerned UCI Student: Thanks for posting the transcript for us. You're still the best.
