<p>Gen Z is particularly attuned to the threat of radical Islam, as a number of college students told The Daily Wire&#8217;s Isabel Brown at Turning Point USA&#8217;s AmFest.</p>
<p>Brown, the host of The Isabel Brown Show, moderated a panel discussion with three students, all active within TPUSA. One student said that the issue of Islam came entirely down to freedom of speech — and, in particular, freedom to dissent.</p>
<p>&#8220;Theoretically, if you disagree with the teachings of Christ, you can live in the United States and still abide by our laws and respect each other, but in a theocracy like what is under — the Middle East and Islam — you can&#8217;t,&#8221; he explained. &#8220;If you criticize Mohammed, you could genuinely put your life at risk. And we don&#8217;t have that in the United States, and I don&#8217;t think that we should.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;When it comes to looking at different religions, the beautiful thing about America is that you can practice every kind of religion that you need. We have this freedom of religion,&#8221; the third panelist added. &#8220;So let me be clear — I don&#8217;t think we should just kick out all Muslims, I don&#8217;t think we should kick out people who practice the Islamic faith — but the idea that the Islamic faith is at all compatible with the Western world is a fallacy in and of itself.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;When you look at the Koran versus the Bible, which is what America is based on, they don&#8217;t connect,&#8221; she added. &#8220;They don&#8217;t work together at all.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;And that&#8217;s controversial to say because we have Muslims living in America. I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s bad to be a Muslim living in America, I think it&#8217;s bad to want Islamic ideals to be put into America because they just don&#8217;t fit with the western world. You&#8217;ll see that happening in Europe — I believe that Europe has completely fallen now. You see this separation between cultures like we haven&#8217;t seen before and this dying of an entire race, an entire culture. What Europe was is dead now. And it will break my heart to see that happen in America.&#8221;</p>
<p>Brown pressed the students on whether they&#8217;d discussed the issue before — and whether their professors had said anything on the topic.</p>
<p>One said that the typical response was to simply slap &#8220;phobia&#8221; on the end of the word, saying &#8220;it&#8217;s Islamophobia if you even dare to question it. And the thing is, I think that means we need to question it. We need to question whether it&#8217;s actually compatible.&#8221;</p>
<p>The overwhelming assessment, from all three panelists, was that Islam was not compatible with Western values. Brown said that Charlie Kirk — the late TPUSA founder and her friend — agreed with this assessment.</p>
<p>&#8220;Charlie, more than anyone in the conservative movement, spoke often in the last few years about the dangers influence on Islam and Eastern philosophy on Western civilization, not just in the United States, but around Europe as well — where we&#8217;re seeing really crazy headlines over the past several months more than any time in our lifetime, right?&#8221; Brown began.</p>
<p>She went on to give examples, noting that Christmas markets and New Year&#8217;s Eve events were being canceled due to the threat posed by pro-Palestinian protesters and Islamic extremists, and that terrorist attacks around the world had increased dramatically — &#8220;and now that&#8217;s starting to seep into American culture here as well.&#8221;</p>
<p>After conceding that she herself had been &#8220;a little bit spicy&#8221; in recent weeks in her declarations that Islam — as an institution — was &#8220;incompatible&#8221; with Western ideals and, in particular, the United States, Brown explained that Islam did not place value on free speech or equality between the sexes, among other things.</p>
<p>One of the students noted that Charlie had always stressed the importance in differentiating between individual Muslims and Islam as a religious or political structure.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a completely incompatible concept that we could even allow these collective societies, like in the United States where now different tribes are fighting over who&#8217;s going to get elected in Minnesota, like that&#8217;s not really what America is supposed to be.&#8221;</p>
