10 Things Milo Hates About Islam

Bretibart: I’m Milo Yiannopoulos, thank you for coming. Tonight I have two objectives. The first is to be issued with a fatwa, which I surely will be any day now if I’m doing my job properly.

The second is to give you a more sober assessment, with the benefit of distance, about what happened in Orlando in June.

I was supposed to speak here at UCF back then. Following the terrorist attack at Pulse nightclub, I was planning on delivering a speech in the nice air conditioning of UCF on the dangers of Islam to the west.

But the speech was cancelled.  The police felt they couldn’t protect me from many threats they received. I was perfectly happy to go on with the show; my primary concern was speaking. Orlando isn’t Sweden….yet.

Since I couldn’t speak at UCF, I delivered an address on Islam at ground zero, mere yards away from the Pulse night club.

The speech has been seen nearly a million times on my YouTube channel and over 5 million times in total.

A sober assessment, free of righteous indignation, doesn’t mean we can’t be funny.

One of the first things to disappear in the wake of a terrorist attack is humour. That’s one of the things they want. They want to make us afraid.

When we’re afraid, we don’t dare laugh in case it’s the wrong thing to do.

But laughing is one of the ways we show we’re okay, and that there can be a future beyond what has happened.

We aren’t going to beat Islamic terror only with tanks and bombs. We’re going to beat it with ideology. We’re going to beat it with laughter — by showing the people who live in countries ruled by dictators and thugs that they will not make us afraid.

By showing them that the West is best.

That’s how the Berlin Wall fell. People in East Germany knew that West Germany was better.
