Well if you get a transcript or quote, I can respond.

He did make roughly the same comments last night... but when asked why he had singled out people with darker coulored skin as the primary threat from the Muslim world he basically answered it was because people of darker skin are more prone to violence - Christian, Muslim, or Jew... and then of course came the yelling and heckling - when the commotion had died down (and some people removed - including some retired professors) he continued on with his discussion, but never touched on the subject of 'race' again, and concentrated on discussing militant Islam from that point on (mainly from the viewpoint of the US or Israel). His arguement basically boiled down to the Machevialian "It's better to be feared than loved" approach to combating militant Islam and terrorism.

I haven't found a transcript of the night yet (on the campus news, Muslim, or Jewish student groups), but maybe Thrusday (it when the main campus paper is out)... better yet would be a video recording - I' sure I saw the Ontario public television guys recording in the back.

I'm sure some coverage will happen, given the controvesrial topic "Radical Islam and the War on Terror"... but it might take some time.
