Daniel Pipes released comments on his website regarding the UCLA L.O.G.I.C. event last week.
On January 31, 2007 students at UC Irvine protested Dr. Pipes' presentation at UCI. The UCI Muslim community made up the majority of the protesters, releasing publications ahead of time and literature in order to "expose Pipes." At the event, students with the Muslim Student Union and less than a handful of La Rouche Youth shouted at Pipes and continued their hateful display outside.
However, the disturbance at UCI was far greater and a lot more volatile than at UCLA. It appears that the majority of the protesters at UCLA were far-left individuals and not necessary members of the Muslim Students Association.
Here is what Pipes had to say on his website about the disruption at UCLA:
Despite predictions of a riot, the audience was overwhelming civil and even friendly to the panelists. A disruption began just as I argued for the need to defeat Islamists not just in the battlefields of Afghanistan but also in "the classrooms of UCLA." The disrupters made up a tiny proportion of the audience, perhaps 2 percent, and they found themselves booed and told to "get out" of the hall, which they did. The panel then proceeded, ignoring drumming and other sounds coming from outside the hall.
