On April 11th, 2013, I participated in a public forum entitled "Islamists Rising in the Middle East: Where Next for America?"
The panel was held at the University of California at Davis, (UCD), as a free event for the community, organized by the student club of the Ayn Rand Institute (ARI).
As an alum of nearby UC Berkeley, I expected some interest in the program, having previously documented campus radicalism in California.
