(PennLive) The U.S. Army War College has postponed the appearance of an author widely regarded as being Islamophobic. The decision comes in the wake of strong opposition from the Muslim community to the previously scheduled appearance of author Raymond Ibrahim.
The Army War College on Monday, however, suggested that the postponement had nothing to do with the outcry from the Muslim community.
In a written statement to PennLive, Army War College spokeswoman Carol Kerr wrote:
“(The U.S. Army Heritage and Education Center) sponsors Perspectives in Military History: an evening public education program which draws a community audience that can include USAWC students. The presentation of Mr. Raymond Ibrahim’s book is postponed so USAHEC can pair Mr. Ibrahim’s military history insights in close proximity with another historical perspective, at a time when the USAWC curriculum has addressed historical analysis of influences on conflict.”
