    This is the same day as the previously announced distribution of (a possibly bowdlerized) _Origin of Species_ preceded by a hostile introduction on various campuses.

    Thanks for clarifying George and Brian. I've read SOME of the mailing list discussion. I only read SOME because I don't think the internet is an effective way to communicate, have discussions, or debate especially politics. That's why I refrained from participating.

    As far as I know, no one's endorsing Geert Wilders. The discussion is ongoing on the mailing list, I've added a link to it above.

    Please note that the "Discussion Topics" are just suggestions for possible conversations. The Meetups are very informal and do not involve mediated discussion for the entire group. I don't think that George was necessarily endorsing Geert Wilders by suggesting his visit to Temple as a topic. It brings up valid points about where fair criticism of religion ends and bigotry begins. It's exactly the sort of topic that is worth examining critically and debating.
