The two speakers, John Guandolo and Chris Gaubatz, are being monitored by the HateWatch program of the Southern Poverty Law Center.  Allowing hateful folks like these to spread a skewed vision and/or hateful lies about the religion of Islam and of Muslims in general will not reflect well on your establishment. Yes - there are bad folks - no denying that, but they are a minority. I personally know many good, peaceful Muslims and find this type of divisive, one-sided, hateful rhetoric appalling.  I have heard you may have cancelled this session, but this is not clear. I would appreciate hearing your management's response to my concerns. I am an advocate of free speech by the way, which means I am not asking you to cancel the event. I am also, however, in support of those who would choose to protest the event peacefully and choose not to use your establishment in the future. Thank you.--
