And apostates to Islam, as Ayaan is regarded, must accept that they are <span class="text_exposed_show">apostates to American campus conformity, too, and be prepared to lead a life without the consolations of honorary degrees. Accepting the loss of A-list commencement gigs doesn&#8217;t take a lot of courage, but it still takes more than Frederick Lawrence has displayed. And ultimately, as I said re Brandon Eich, such a land will be bloody boring &#8211; and a society in decline.&#8221;</span></p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">Steyn: &#8220;So getting an <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/news/oliver-burkeman-s-blog/2014/apr/14/culture-shut-up-twitter-controversy-mozilla-brandeis" target="_blank">honorary degree at Brandeis</a>, like serving on the board at Mozilla, is open only to those who make sure they never cross the Conformity Enforcers. And apostates to Islam, as Ayaan is regarded, must accept that they are apostates to American campus conformity, too, and be prepared to lead a life without the consolations of honorary degrees. Accepting the loss of A-list commencement gigs doesn&#8217;t take a lot of courage, but it still takes more than Frederick Lawrence has displayed. And ultimately, as I said re Brandon Eich, such a land will be bloody boring &#8211; and a society in decline.&#8221;</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">&#8220;The problem here is not science, but <strong>Science</strong>™, the substitute for faith &amp; human intuition over the last few centuries. <strong>Wedded to Progress</strong>™, it becomes a juggernaut of opinion and academic infighting and corporately/ politically motivated busybodiness, trying to proclaim absolute and eternal truth. I.E., acting like a religion. That&#8217;s why the Steyn heresy trial, and the acolytes of <strong>Global Warming </strong><span class="text_exposed_show"><strong>Science</strong>™ are running about screaming for prison for unbelievers, and killing tenure for dissenters, and it stopped being about science (you know, observation, theory, model, experiment, revised theory based on evidence/ results) a long time ago. This is now all about mind control, social control, and big big dollars. Well done, Dr. Lewis.&#8221; &#8212; <a class="profileLink" href="https://www.facebook.com/binks.webelf">Binks Webelf</a></span></p>
