"There is no free-speech entitlement to speak at a commencement.

Yes there is - you created a public forum, a public event, and obligated yourself to provide designated personnel an opportunity to speak - in public, to the public - and then, based on speech, you took it away. That's a First Amendment issue. It's called conspiracy to violate rights.

This is just as bad as not allowing a conservative to speak on campus.

No it isn't. Speakers are invited to campus specifically to discuss certain (often political) issues to a targeted audience.

They don't want to have to deal with the headaches that come along with this girl getting up and preaching her side of a very heated and passionate issue during commencement.

Were you stoned every day of US government class in high school?

In case you were, here's your constitutionally protected right to free speech:

"CONGRESS shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

Furthermore, aside from the very obvious fact that government in no way, shape or form was involved in this, since USC is a private university, they have every right to tell the girl to go pound sand. She has absolutely ZERO constitutional right to give that speech.

Only an utter moron would claim that she had a constitutionally protected right to give the speech.

In what fantasy world do these people live?

Name one devout muslim that actually wishes to coexist with, and not kill, the Jews and Christians.

Islam and Judaism/Christianity are the very antithesis of one another. If you look at the Quran and the Bible and their prophecies of the end times, the Muslim "Mahdi" (the "enlightened one" of the end times) and the Antichrist of the Bible are the same person. These ideologies and religions are incompatible to the very core, and any attempt to force them to cohabitate is only an indirect incitement of violence and hatred. Think the proverbial "red ants and black ants shaken in a jar", except that the one of those type of ants actually want to be shaken in the jar to killed the others. These people wanting a "one state solution" only want to infiltrate the Jewish populace so that they can exterminate them from the inside without having to fight past the IDF and Iron Dome to do so.
