Rachel Ehrenfeld is a distinguished criminologist with ties to New York University School of Law, Columbia University Institute of War and Peace Studies, Johns Hopkins and Hebrew University. She is also under serious attack and deserves our support.

Robert Spencer explains:

One of the most potent weapons that global jihadists have to advance their cause is one of the least-remarked: censorship…Ehrenfeld…stands today as one of the primary targets of this tactic — and, by her ongoing resistance, one of the foremost defenders of the freedom of speech against encroaching attempts at legal intimidation that, if successful, will effectively silence the anti-jihad resistance.
Billionaire Saudi financier Khalid Salim bin Mahfouz [taking advantage of British libel laws] sued Miss Ehrenfeld in the U.K. for libel: in her book, “Funding Evil,” she wrote that he was involved in funding Hamas and al Qaeda…[The British court] ruled that Miss Ehrenfeld must apologize to Mr. bin Mahfouz and pay over $225,000. This fine remains uncollected, and Miss Ehrenfeld sees no reason to apologize. Now she cannot travel to Britain, and her writing and research work has of course been banned there — thus preventing important information from reaching the public.

There’s more to the case than this, but Spencer is right: “all who wish to remain free and resist the encroachments of global jihadism and Islamic supremacism should hope and pray that she prevails [in her further efforts to fight the British ruling].
