Islamic Society heckles ex-Muslim speaker; claims violation of their "safe space"

quote [ Ms Namazie said that "After my talk began, ISOC 'brothers' started coming into the room, repeatedly banging the door, falling on the floor, heckling me, playing on their phones, shouting out, and creating a climate of intimidation in order to try and prevent me from speaking."

The hecklers were asked repeatedly to be quiet and told by organisers that there would be an opportunity to ask questions or make comments at the end. The Muslim hecklers repeatedly interrupted the early part of the talk, shouting "safe space" and laughing. ]

"Safe space", my ass.

Oh, and if you think no sane person could applaud what the Islamic society did, here's what the Goldsmiths Feminists had to say about it.

Well, I'm about to go to bed. But I look forward to coming back tomorrow to see how outraged people here who usually argue that the idea of safe spaces is 'PC gone mad' and 'mollycoddling' students and should be done away with will get over this.

Christ, what a bunch of assholes.

She's put in a complaint to the police and I hope they act on it.
