				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/santa.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-94667" title="santa" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/santa.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="664" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Reprinted from <a href="http://www.newspress.com/Top/index.jsp">Santa Barbara News-Press</a>.</strong></p>
<p>It all comes down to defending freedom of speech, conservative  activist and speaker David Horowitz told a theater full of students  Thursday night at UCSB.</p>
<p>&#8220;The First Amendment is absolutely the  foundation for all your other rights,&#8221; he said. &#8220;If you don&#8217;t have the  ability to express your dissent, in as fair a way as possible, to reach  other people, then you can&#8217;t defend any of your other rights.&#8221;</p>
<p>In spite of controversy that swirled around his appearance, Mr.  Horowitz addressed a respectful crowd of more than 400 in Isla Vista  Theatre 1 with a presentation titled, &#8220;Infantile Disorders at UCSB: Why  the Muslim Student Association is Afraid of David Horowitz.&#8221;</p>
<p>He addressed how liberal bias on campus stifles free speech, as well  as the threat of radical Islamist and the National Muslim Student  Association&#8217;s ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.</p>
<p>Mr. Horowitz called  out the university&#8217;s faculty, Associated Students and administration,  all of whom he said fought to suppress his right to express views they  disagree with.</p>
<p>Opposition to the appearance began as soon as the visit was proposed.  Students stated that Mr. Horowitz&#8217;s statements constituted hate speech  and his presence made them feel uncomfortable.</p>
<p>During his last  visit to UCSB in April 2008, Mr. Horowitz challenged members of the  Muslim Student Association to denounce Hamas and Hezbollah as terrorist  organizations, which it would not do, according to Mr. Horowitz.</p>
<p>The original MSA was founded in 1964 by a group with ties to the  Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamist organizations, but Elliott  Bazzano, the group&#8217;s spokesman, said the UCSB MSA was not the original  and is not formally affiliated with the national MSA.</p>
<p>The group touts its autonomy from the National Muslim Students  Association, Mr. Horowitz told the News-Press, but members recently  attended the national MSA conference where they heard from an imam who  supported the destruction of the Jews.</p>
<p>Mr. Horowitz presented a different idea of &#8220;hate acts&#8221; on Thursday  night, describing the radical Islamist mission of wiping out America and  annihilating Israel.</p>
<p>Yet for all the cries of racism and hate  speech he has received for speaking on the threat of radical Islam, Mr.  Horowitz said, the real hatred is that of the Arab states in the Middle  East against Jews.</p>
