Michael Lucas, the activist and gay porn actor behind Lucas Entertainment, addressed about 50 students at Stanford earlier this month--and then ended up writing an editorial defending himself in the school's paper, an article that drew hundreds of comments from readers...

...Others were turned off by Lucas' comments about Islam, which had preceded him to the campus, with criticism about Lucas already being voiced before he arrived.

When the issue came up in the Q&A, Lucas said, "What's the point to respect their culture, or supposed culture, when they have a strong contempt for mine?"

Added Lucas, "I have a problem with people separating terrorists from the world that breeds them, from the world that originates them, which is the world of Islam."

further, reported The Stanford Daily, Lucas protested the idea that statements of his might be racist or prejudiced.

Said the actor, "I don't generalize--a fact is a fact."

Continued Lucas, "I am definitely not a racist if I'm telling you the truth."

In his view, the truth included the observation that, "The Muslim community is much more homophobic than the black community, the black community is much more homophobic than the white community, and there are reasons for that."...

...Lucas continued, "Speaking of racism in relation to religion, not to a race, is a big disservice to language and to intelligence. I never in my life said or wrote a bad word about Arabs--go read any of my articles."

Rather, wrote Lucas, "My criticism was always addressed towards the religion and ideology of Islam. So I would like to ask Stanford students not to exploit the word 'racism' at their own convenience."

..."some of my role models are Arabs for whom I have tremendous admiration. I'm talking about the likes of Wafa Sultan, who has confronted and condemned Islam on many occasions... and Ayaan Hirsi Ali, whose book 'Infidel' also helped me to shape my opinions."

Lucas noted, "Both of these women secularized, as Islam in their opinion is the ideology of backwardness and hate. They rightly point out that Islam hasn't changed, or evolved, for 1,400 years; it has always suppressed every progressive thought. Needless to say, these women were forced to live in exile in the United States and live with hired security 24 hours a day."

..."As I hope you know, Islam does not forgive. It forbids any criticism. Think Salman Rushdie. Think Theo Van Gogh, for his portrayal of the misery of women in Muslim countries. Think of the Danish cartoonists who are hiding in safe houses. The list is long."...
