Pleases call Lane Community College and tell them there is free speech and people need to be educated correctly and truthfully on Islam. That we have many professors throughout America teaching subjects we don’t agree with, but that doesn’t mean the classes must be stopped. Chastise them for their political correctness to bend to the will of CAIR.

There is a disastrous precedent being set here: Do you want CAIR or any similar group dictating who is allowed to teach in American colleges and universities? Do you want their opinion to have a bearing on hiring and firing and on course offerings, assuming a sort of informal veto power over academic freedom? The very idea is beyond disturbing, and it has already happened.

Dear All Concerned, my name is Barry Sommer and as a result of my appearance on KEZI News,, the local ABC affiliate here in Eugene, Oregon, which was subsequently re-broadcast nationally, I have been threatened by CAIR and Ibrahim Hooper. Due to my course at Lane Community College titled "What is Islam" and my connection with Act!4america, CAIR deems me unfit to teach a class. They pressured the college to drop me as an instructor. As of this statement the class has been cancelled with no explanation. The opponents to my teaching appointment are growing by the minute in the Muslim community and my quotes are now posted on the CAIR website.This is a free speech issue, and CAIR must not be allowed to gain the upper hand. I am asking for help and support in this fight [.] What can be done?
CAIR's press release: Note the usual tactics: all criticism of Islam is "hate," and potentially "incitement." And we're to take CAIR's word for what is true about Islam, rather than believe our lyin' eyes.
The college itself has likely bought into the fears of "backlash" that CAIR and similar groups play up after every attempted jihadist attack on American soil, most notably the recent failed bombing by a Somali Muslimat a holiday lighting ceremony in Portland, Oregon. "CAIR: Anti-Muslim Hate Group Leader to Teach Islam at Oregon College," from PRNewswire, December 3:
SEATTLE, Dec. 3, 2010 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Washington state chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-WA) today called on an Oregon community college to replace a leader of an anti-Muslim hate group who is scheduled to begin teaching a course on Islam in January.
CAIR-WA reported that Barry Sommer, president of an Oregon chapter of the hate group ACT! for America, will teach a course called "What is Islam" at Lane Community College in Eugene, Ore. Sommer also produces a weekly local cable access program "Islam Today" on Comcast's CTV29. The contact e-mail for the program is "act4americaor@yahoo.com." His personal blog features one of the infamous Danish cartoons mocking Islam's Prophet Muhammad.
It is his First Amendment right to mock Muhammad or anyone he pleases. But the double standard is immense: if Sommer had the Piss Christ on his site, we'd hear nary a peep from CAIR. If he were conducting a class about Christianity with a critical view, he'd be virtually untouchable no matter what he said.

Lane Community College: What is Islam

(Scroll down to "What is Islam.")
Sommer has a history of making false and misleading statements about Islam.
The preface to Sommer's online book, "From the Mouths of Our Enemies," states: "Our enemies want us destroyed not because of our riches, or our liberties, although they say that is so. No, they want us gone because Allah told them so. Foundational Islam demands that ALL citizens of planet earth convert to Islam, pay a tax (jizya) or die. It is now demanded of us that we make a stand, draw the line and decide who wins this clash once and for all. If it means war, so be it."...
The press release and character assassination continue. But the threefold options of conversion, subjugation and tribute (jizya), or war for unbelievers are from Qur'an 9:29.
Does CAIR repudiate this command?
Yes or no?

This is disturbing that this should be happening most of these people are not even citizens of this country, sounds to me like they are trying to start a jihad on us in our own country and on our own soil. This is not good any way you look at it. This is just another way that the liberals are trying to wipe this nation out of existence which is what they are trying to do and the the maslams are doing a very good job at helping them.
1. 2:190-193 Fight in the cause of God, those who fight you, but do not transgress limits; for God loveth not transgressors. And slay them wherever ye catch them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out: For tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter; But fight them not at the sacred Mosque unless they first fight you there; But if they fight you, Slay them. Such is the reward of those who suppress faith. But if they cease, God is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful. And fight them on until there is no more tumult or oppression, and there prevail justice and faith in God; but if they cease, Let there be no hostility except to those who practise oppression."
2. 2:216-217 Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you and that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But God
knoweth, and ye know not. They ask thee concerning fighting in the
Prohibited Month. Say: "Fighting therein is a grave (offense); but
graver is it in the sight of God to prevent access to the path of God,
to deny Him, to prevent access to the Sacred Mosque, and drive out its
members. Tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter. Nor will they cease fighting
you until they turn you back from your faith if they can. And if any of
you turn back from their faith and die in unbelief, their works will
bear no fruit in this life and in the Hereafter; they will be
Companions of the Fire and will abide therein.
3. 2:244-245 Then fight in the cause of God, and know that God heareth and knoweth all things. Who is he that will loan to God a beautiful loan, which God will double unto his credit and multiply many times? It is God that giveth (you) want or plenty, and to Him shall be your return.
4. 4:74-77 Let those fight in the cause of God who sell the life of this world for the Hereafter, to him who fighteth in the cause of God, whether he is slain or gets victory, soon shall We give him a reward of great (value). And why should ye not fight in the cause of God and of those who, being weak, are ill-treated (and oppressed)? Men, women, and
children whose cry is: "Our Lord! rescue us from this town, whose
people are oppressors; and raise for us from Thee one who will protect;
and raise for us from Thee one who will help!" Those who believe fight in the cause of God, and those who reject faith fight in the cause of evil: so fight ye against the friends of Satan:
feeble indeed is the cunning of Satan. Hast thou not turned thy vision
to those who were told to hold back their hands (form fight) but
establish regular prayers and spend in regular charity? When (at
length) the order for fighting was issued to them, behold! a section of them feared men as, or even more than, they should have feared God: they say: "Our Lord! why hast Thou ordered us to fight?
Wouldst Thou not grant us respite to our (natural) term, near
(enough)?" Say: "Short is the enjoyment of this world: the Hereafter is
the best for those who do right: never will ye be dealt with unjustly
in the very least!
5. 4:95-96 Not equal are those believers who sit (at home) and receive no hurt, and those who strive and fight in the cause of God with their goods and their persons. God hath granted a grade higher to those who strive and fight with their goods and persons than to those who sit (at home). Unto all (in Faith) Hath God promised good: But those who strive and fight Hath He distinguished above those who sit (at home) by a special reward: Ranks specially bestowed by Him, and Forgiveness and Mercy. For God is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.
6. 5:51 O ye who believe! take not the Jews and the Christians for your friends and protectors: They are but friends and protectors to each other. And he amongst you that turns to them (for friendship) is of them. Verily God guideth not
a people unjust.
7. 5:72-73: They do blaspheme who say: "God is Christ the son of Mary." But said Christ: "O Children of Israel! worship God, my Lord and your Lord." Whoever joins other gods with God, - God will
forbid him the garden, and the Fire will be his abode. There will for
the wrongdoers be no one to help. They do blaspheme who say: God is one of three in a Trinity: for there is no god except One God. If they desist not from their word (of blasphemy), verily a grievous penalty will befall the blasphemers among them.
8. 8:12-15 Remember thy Lord inspired the angels (with the message): "I am with you: give firmness to the Believers: I will instil terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off them." This because they contended against God and His Apostle: If any contend against God and His Apostle, God is strict in punishment. Thus (will it
be said): "Taste ye then of the (punishment): for those who resist God, is the penalty of the Fire." O ye who believe! when ye meet the Unbelievers in hostile array, never turn your backs to them.
9. 8:37-39: In order that God may separate the impure from the pure, put the impure, one on another, heap them together, and cast them into Hell. They will be the ones to have lost. Say to the Unbelievers, if (now) they desist (from Unbelief), their past would be
forgiven them; but if they persist, the punishment of those before them
is already (a matter of warning for them). And fight them
on until there is no more tumult or oppression, and there prevail
justice and faith in God altogether and everywhere; but if they cease,
verily God doth see all that they do.
10. 9:5 But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (trick in war for deceiving and outwitting the enemy); but if they repent, and establish regular prayers and practice regular charity, then open the way for them: for God is Oft-forgiving, Most
Merciful.
11. 9:14 Fight them, and God will punish them by your hands, cover them with shame, help you (to victory) over them, heal the breasts of Believers
12. 9:20 Those who believe, and suffer exile and fight with might and main, in God's cause, with their goods and their persons, have the highest rank in the sight of God: they are the people who will achieve (salvation).
13. 9:29 "Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the last day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and his apostle nor acknowledge the religion of
truth of the people of the Book (the Jews and the Christians) until they pay the Jizya [tax on non-Muslims] with willing submission and feel themselves subdued."
14. 9:41 Go ye forth, (whether equipped) lightly or heavily, and strive and struggle [fight in war], with your goods and your persons, in the cause of God. That is best for you, if ye (but) knew.
15. 9:73 O Prophet! strive hard [wage war] against the unbelievers and the Hypocrites, and be firm against them. Their abode is Hell, - an evil refuge indeed.
16. 9:123: O ye who believe! fight the unbelievers who gird you about, and let them find firmness in you: and know that God is with those who fear Him.
17. 22:38-39 Verily God will defend (from ill) those who believe: verily, God loveth not any that is a traitor to faith, or shows ingratitude. To those against whom war is made, permission is given (to fight) because they are wronged-and verily, God is Most powerful for their aid
18. 25:52 So obey not the unbelievers and fight strenuously with them in many a strenuous fight.
19. 47:4 Therefore, when ye meet the Unbelievers (in fight), smite at their necks; At length, when ye have thoroughly subdued them, bind a bond firmly (on them): thereafter (is the time
for) either generosity or ransom: Until the war lays down its burdens.
Thus (are ye commanded): but if it had been God's Will, He could
certainly have exacted retribution from them (Himself); but (He lets
you fight) in order to test you, some with others. But those who are slain in the Way of God, - He will never let their deeds be lost.
20. 48:29: "Those who follow Muhammad are merciless for the unbelievers but kind to each other."
21. 60:4: We have renounced you; and enmity and hatred is begun between us and you for ever, until ye believe in Allah alone
22. 61:9-11 It is He Who has sent His Apostle with Guidance and the Religion of Truth, that he may proclaim it over all religion, even though the Pagans may detest (it). O ye who believe! shall I lead you
to a bargain that will save you from a grievous Penalty?- That ye
believe in God and His Apostle, and that ye strive (fight) in the Cause of God, with your property and your persons: that will be best for you, if ye but knew!
66:9 O Prophet! make war on the infidels and hypocrites, and deal rigorously with them. Hell shall be their abode! and wretched the passage to it!

Quotations from Muslim leaders about killing Christians:
1. "Those who know nothing about Islam pretend that Islam counsels against war. Those people are witless. Islam says: 'Kill all the unbelievers just as they would kill you all!' Does this mean that Muslims should sit back until they are devoured by the infidel? Islam says: 'Kill them, put them to the sword and scatter them.' Islam says: 'Whatever good there is exists thanks to the sword.' The sword is the key to Paradise, which can be opened only for the Holy Warriors! Does all this mean that Islam is a religion that prevents men from waging war? I spit upon
those foolish souls who make such a claim." (Ayatollah Ruhollah
Khomeini)
2. "In the Muslim community, the holy war is a religious duty, because of the universalism of the Muslim mission and the obligation to convert everybody to Islam either by persuasion or force. The other religious groups (Christianity and Judaism) did not have a universal mission, and the holy war was not a religious duty to them,
save only for purposes of defense. (Ibn Khaldun, The Muqadimmah: Ail
Introduction to History, Islamic historian, 1377 AD)
3. "Islam makes it incumbent on all adult males to prepare themselves for the conquest of countries so that the writ of Islam is obeyed in every country in the world." Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, Iranian Shiite mullah)
4. "the religion of Islam could be above all, so that all areas of life could be guided by Islam, and so that the earth could be cleansed from unbelief" (The Islamic Council in Chechnya)
5. "The foremost duty of Islam is to depose the government and society of unbelievers (jahiliyyah) from the leadership of man." (Sayyid Qutb, Egyptian)
6. "Uniting the five pillars of Islam is the principle Jihad (lit. struggle). In Islam a Muslim must struggle against himself and his habits to submit fully to God. He must also struggle to guide his
family, relatives, and friends to bring them to Islam and to convey the
message of Islam itself. Since Islam is totalistic, Muslims wherever
they may be, must struggle and sacrifice their energy, time, and
material resources to establish Muslim congregations, mosques,
madrassas (religious schools) for the maintenance and spread of Islam. Where
Muslims make up a substantial fraction of the population, they must
struggle to establish the Islamic Shariah (law) as their rule for
living, with the aim to ultimately establish a full Islamic state in
which Islam would be the ruling ideology and system. To understand this
last point is very important for it is part and parcel of Islam to seek
its full manifestation and where Muslims fail politically or
economically, they also fail spiritually. It is innate to Islam to be
militantly uncompromising with alien systems since all sovereignty and
glory belongs to God, to the Prophets (PBUH) and to the believers." (Spirit of Toronto, Ontario, Canada:
