Letter by Dr. Marko Attila Hoare regarding Anti-Muslim hate-speech at UBC

Dear Professor Stephen J. Toope,
I am writing to you to express my deep concern at the lecture by Srdja Trifkovic, hosted by the Serbian Students’ Association, scheduled to take place at UBC tomorrow (Thursday, 24 February). I am a firm believer in freedom of expression, even for those who hold offensive views. However, I believe that hate-speech directed against an ethnic, racial or religious minority goes beyond anything that can be permitted at a university, and constitutes a threat to the security and wellbeing of students and academic staff who belong to the minority in question.
