Is heckling a right?
The Council on American Islamic Relations thinks so. The group, along with the National Lawyers Guild (according to its website, a group that is an "effective political and social force in service of the people") has publicly come out and defended the rights of the students arrested at the University of California, Irvine last week, saying that interrupting Oren "falls within the purview of protected speech." This follows a public call for an inquiry by the Muslim Public Affairs Council, whose executive director, though a little more circumspect than CAIR, also described the arrested students in glowing terms, as individuals with "the courage and conscience to stand up against aggression."
