James Sonneman wrote [an articulate piece](https://badgerherald.com/oped/2008/10/15/republican_guest_wil.php) today about Robert Spencer, the College Republicans’ guest speaker tonight. Spencer is most famous for his book “The Truth about Muhammed,” which, according to Sonneman depicts Islam as an inherently violent religion based on a over-arching dedication to “Jihad.” I haven’t adequately researched Spencer to make a judgment on him, however, I look forward to the College Republicans inviting Christopher Hitchens, the author of a scathing review of Mother Theresa, “The Missionary Position: Mother Theresa in Theory and Practice.” I assume the anti-Islamic author is just part of an ongoing series of theological criticism, right?
