The aptly-named Hatem “Hate ’em” Bazian’s manipulative propaganda course at UC Berkeley in “Islamophobia,” in which he forces his students to adopt his agenda of demonizing opponents of jihad terror instead of allowing them to evaluate the value of his targets’ work for themselves, recalls a similar course taught a few years back at Colgate University by Omid Safi, an Islamic supremacist pseudo-academic who is now at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I dared to challenge Safi’s smear of me as an “Islamophobe” — a propagandistic neologism designed to intimidate people into thinking that it is “hateful” and “bigoted” to oppose jihad terror: I offered to come to the class where Safi was defaming me in order to engage in discussion and debate with him and his students. Safi declined, all the while hurling the usual insults that come as natural to Islamic supremacists as breathing. Later this bent, twisted, hate-filled and diabolically insecure little man actually falsely claimed that I threatened to kill him and his family, while peddling soothing nonsense to the easy marks at the Huffington Post about respecting other people.
“Islamophobia” courses are apparently increasingly common on university campuses. Just this week I received two queries from students who are studying “Islamophobia.” One girl wrote (spelling and grammar as in the original):
Dear Jihad Watch, I am a Year 12 Student from Sydney, NSW who would greatly appreciate your kind assistance in a Personal Interest Project (PIP) for the subject of Society and Culture. My chosen topic sparks in me a deep interest although before I begin my primary research, I must ensure there is sufficient secondary information to support or disprove my own. So far, it seems lacking so I write to ask: Am on the right track and do you recommend any beneficial resources or contacts? My investigation is the “Perceptions held in Australia about Islam” where I look into both “Islamophobia” and the general reluctance to support or acknowledge Muslim adherents assimilating into Australian Culture. The PIP requires a cross-cultural comparison where two aspects of some sort must be considered, for e.g. female vs. male perceptions held about Islam. This is where my inspiration came in, due to personal experience. Growing up from a Christian, Middle-Eastern background, I witnessed most family members disapproving of Islam and it’s followers due to their experiences of conflict with the religion and it’s people in the middle east, before migrating. Although “Islamophobia” is quite instilled in Australian society, I found from informally questioning other middle-easterners that they too seemed more intolerant than the rest of Australian society. I’d like to investigate for both Middle-Eastern born Australian migrants (non Muslims) and Australian born citizens- – What exactly are their perceptions on Islam and it’s adherents? – How these perceptions were formed. Here, a focus will be on historical and political events and media representation, for e.g. September 11, as well personal experiences with Muslim adherents. I hypothesise that Australian- born citizens will have their perceptions formed by media influence while Middle-Eastern born Australian migrants will have perceptions largely due to personal experience with Muslims in the Middle East. Such information is attainable through primary research methodologies and there is sufficient amount of information on what Australian’s perceive Muslims. My main struggle has been finding sufficient information on Non-Muslim Middle- Easterner’s perceptions on Muslim adherents and their relationship with one another in the Middle- East, whether from a couple of decades ago to present. Although my search for secondary information continues, I am extremely hopeful that you are able to recommend resources or contacts which may enable me to carry through with this project. I highly appreciate your time taken to read this letter. Thank you.
I responded:
Thanks for writing. I do not believe in “Islamophobia.” It is a propaganda neologism designed to intimidate people into thinking that there is something wrong with resisting jihad terror. Listen to the experiences of your family and other Middle Eastern Christians, and heed them. Best of luck. RS
Just hours later I received this email from a young man in Texas (again, reproduced as written):
I go to the University of Texas at Arlington though I do not accuse you of this I am writing a paper on Islamophobia and how it is changing the usa for the worst
I wrote this back:
Sorry, I don’t believe in “Islamophobia.” It is a propagandistic neologism designed to intimidate people into thinking that there is something wrong with resisting jihad terror. Would you have written a paper about how “Naziphobia” was changing the USA for the worse in 1943? Best of luck with your paper.
But he persisted, sending me some questions. The questions are below, with the answers I sent him:
1. Do you hate Muslims and if so why?
No.
2. Do you have any prejudices if so why?
No.
3. Did this site start pre 9/11 or after?
October 2003.
4. Describe in detail your views on Muslims.
Muslims cannot be generalized. Some are wonderful people. Some are not. Just like everyone else.
5. Why do you think Islam is dangerous?
Because it has a doctrine, theology and legal system mandating warfare against and subjugation of unbelievers. Cf. Qur’an 9:29 (see also 8:39, 8:60, 2:190-193, etc.); Sahih Muslim 4294; the various teachings of the Sunni and Shi’ite madhahib about jihad — a handy reference is Reliance of the Traveller section O9. See Majid Khadduri’s book War and Peace in the Law of Islam. See also the escalating persecution of non-Muslims in Nigeria, Egypt, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Syria, Iraq, Indonesia, Malaysia, etc.
Also because of Sharia’s institutionalized oppression of women (recently manifested in several murders of women for refusing to wear hijab — Aqsa Parvez, Amina Muse Ali, etc.), the death penalty for apostates (Mohamed Hegazy in hiding and in fear for his life in Egypt, Abdul Rahman fleeing Afghanistan to avoid a death sentence for apostasy, etc).
Instead of fighting against this oppression, people like you, by fostering the “Islamophobia” fantasy, are abetting it. No hate crime is justified. Yet Jews are the victims of hate crimes eight times more often than Muslims are in the U.S. Why aren’t you writing about anti-Semitism? Because you have bought the propaganda that “Islamophobia” is a problem, and don’t even realize how you’re being manipulated into serving an agenda that is designed to shut down all criticism of and resistance to jihad terror and Sharia oppression, so that they can advance unimpeded.
6. Do you have any Muslim friends?
Yes.
This is what passes for academic study on our rapidly-sinking campuses these days.
“U.S. Muslim prof teaches ‘Islamophobia’ course,” by Pamela Geller at WND, February 9:
The Nazi-like march of Islamic supremacists into influential positions of power in media, politics and academia sank to a new low this week (and that bar was already conspicuously low).
Canadian Muslim reformer Tarek Fatah received a panicked message from a student enrolled at the University of California at Berkeley, who along with 100 kids in his class is being forced to tweet on “Islamophobia” as a requirement in a course on that subject called “De-Constructing Islamophobia and the History of Otherness.” This “course” is taught by a notorious anti-Semitic, terror-supporting professor, Hatem Bazian.
The student reported Bazian established as part of the course requirements that students would have to open a Twitter account and tweet at least once a week about “Islamophobia.” The student commented: “I can’t help but feel this is unethical. This is his agenda, not mine.”
The student explained to Fatah:
There are 100 students in the class, all of us forced to create individual Twitter accounts. I’m not wholly clear on what our final project is yet (I find it very interesting that he excludes both the Twitter account requirement AND the final project from his official syllabus), but we have to meet with a group in San Francisco, and our class will be surveying people of color on the impact of some ads put out by Pamela Gellar [sic]. Now I’m no Pamela Gellar [sic] fan, I think she’s nuts, but I feel … between the Twitter stuff and the final project he’s basically using us as unpaid labor to work on his agenda.
The kid has already bought into the demonization, smearing and marginalization of anyone opposing jihad. What’s nuts is “asking people of color” about my Shariah awareness ads. Shariah is not a color. Jihad is not a color. What’s nuts was the Hamas-CAIR ad campaign that my ads countered. Hamas-CAIR created an ad campaign to “rebrand” jihad (“my jihad is getting to the gym every day”). That’s nuts.
Nuts is the San Francisco City Council issuing a resolution (the first of its kind) condemning our ads highlighting Muslim oppression of gays.
Nuts is a homework assignment shackling children to a fictitious narrative designed as a thought-crushing device to silence any criticism of Islam.
A more useful assignment would highlight the brutal and bloody oppression of religious minorities under the Shariah. An intellectual study of the 1,400-year jihad against the Jews as manifested in the Muslim hatred for Israel would certainly be instructive. Where is the college credit for the study of the mass annihilation of Hindus in jihadi wars?
Steven Emerson, in his book, “American Jihad: The Terrorists Living Among Us” (Pages 214-215), quotes Bazian sermonizing at an American Muslim Alliance conference in May 1999:
In the Hadith, the Day of Judgment will never happen until you fight the Jews. They are on the west side of the river, which is the Jordan River, and you’re on the east side until the trees and stones will say, oh Muslim, there is a Jew hiding behind me. Come and kill him! And that’s in the Hadith about this, this is a future battle before the Day of Judgment. (More here.)
Bazian is a co-founder of an anti-Semitic, pro-jihad activist group founded at University of California’s Berkeley campus in 2001, Students for Justice in Palestine. According to Campus Watch:
SJP’s stated goal is to promote a “just resolution of the plight of the Palestinians” and employs boycott, divestment and sanctions campaigns as well as mock checkpoints and mock “apartheid walls” on campuses throughout the U.S. to promote that cause.
SJP’s theatrical and physical violence aims mainly at intimidating and marginalizing Jewish students on campus. It uses violent imagery to bypass discussion and skip right to the hate, accusing its opponents of Apartheid, Nazism and genocide. Its extremist speakers use lies and distortions to portray Israel and its supporters as absolute evil to create a hateful worldview (see Jessica Felber and Helen Freedman).
When the SJP deploys makeshift checkpoints on campuses where its members yell, “Are you Jewish?” at passing students, when it disrupts Holocaust memorials and Jewish student concerts, when it assaults and intimidates Jewish students on campus – it is making the trees and stones of the Ivy League and the Public Ivies a place of terror and danger for Jewish students.
Bazian is also the executive director of American Muslims for Palestine. Check out its web of Hamas support here. At its 2011 conference, Bazian said: “The universities – it’s gonna be the front line moving forward, the front line. Why? Because this is the next generation.”
Why would anyone take his course? He even equated the Boston jihad bombings with “Islamophobia.” obert Spencer wrote this of Bazian last May:
The aptly-named professor Hatem Bazian some years ago called for an “intifada” in the U.S. Here, he completely ignores the fact that the Tsarnaev brothers were Muslims acting, in their own words, in the defense of Islam. … Instead, as one would expect from a charter member of the “Islamophobia” propaganda industry, he equates the Tsarnaevs’ murders, which he calls “horrific crimes,” with those who spoke accurately about what motivated those murders, whom he accuses of “crimes against our collective consciousness.”
It is amazing that moral cretins like Hatem Bazian occupy comfortable positions at respected universities in the United States, but such is the state of academia today. In a field populated with people like Omid Safi, Haroon Moghul, and Caner K. Dagli, Bazian actually comes off rather well.
This “professor” is using his position of authority to bully and harass his students by demanding that they tweet about “Islamophobia.” His “course” is yet another sign of how low American academia has sunk.

There is no such thing as Islamophobia. A phobia is an irrational fear, and for non-Muslims and even some Muslims to fear Islamic persecution and jihad terrorism is NOT irrational. Islam is more than just a religion, it is a political philosophy much like Communism, and Islamic jihad has now replaced Communism as the great enemy of Western Civilization and Christianity.

SaleemSmith says
We ex-Muslims living with Islam’s formal and informal death penalty for apostasy know that Islam is a diabolical fraud that must be abandoned.
There is nothing wrong with being “Islamophobic.”
In fact all non-Muslim persons should be “Islamophobes”.
This does not mean that all such persons hate Muslims. It means that they do not respect the Islamic religion. Islam is a horrible religion and mythical Muhammad the mad prophet of Islam was clearly an evil madman that no human being should respect.
This Muslim snake oil salesman and UC Berkeley “Professor” Hatem Bazian is a highly paid professional deceiver. He knows full well of the many evils contained within Islamic theology and continues to promote it. A lower class of human beings you will not find.
One of the most ludicrous and illogical things of all concerning Islamic theology (the Quran, Hadiths and Sira) is the fact that we are told to believe that the many UNETHICAL passages and teachings found in Islamic theology are somehow ILLEGITIMATE, while SIMULTANEOUSLY being told to believe that Islam is perfect.
In other words, this religion/ideology is a laughable joke. Of course it would be so much more humorous if it weren’t so damn deadly…
Along with the 164 Jihad Verses found in the Quran that make jihad warfare a central tenet of the Islamic creed, at least 75% of the Sira (biographies of Muhammad and quotes attributed to him) is about jihad.
The largest part of the Islamic texts (the Quran, hadith and sira) relate to the treatment of unbelievers, kafirs. Approximately 67% of the Quran written in Mecca is about the unbelievers, or politics. Of the Quran of Medina, 51% is devoted to the unbelievers.
Mohammed preached his religion for 13 years and garnered only 150 followers. But when he turned to politics and war, in 10 years time he became the first ruler of Arabia by averaging an event of violence every 7 weeks for 9 years. His success did not come as a religious leader, but as a political leader.
Political Islam asks: What is the real jihad? The jihad of inner spiritual struggle, or the jihad of war?
Statistical analysis of the Bukhari hadith (considered by Muslims to be the most authentic of the hadith collections) show that Muhammad repeatedly speaks of jihad. In Bukhari, 97% of the jihad references are about war, and 3% are about the inner struggle. So the statistical answer is that jihad is 97% war and 3% inner struggle.
There are 146 references to Hell in the Qur’an. Only 6% of those in Hell are there for moral failings, murder, theft, etc. The other 94% of the reasons for being in Hell are for the intellectual sin of disagreeing with Mohammed, a political crime.
Islam is no religion of peace. Islam is primarily a religion of injustice, intolerance, hatred, and violence. The fact is, if we non-Muslims were to say about Muslims what the Qur’an says about us, we would be arrested for hate speech. The Qur’an largely preaches discrimination, death, and imposition of its dogma on everyone. Certainly some Muslims will be offended by such statements, but frankly, so what? Judaism and Christianity, the world’s two other major monotheistic religions, have had to face the harshest of scrutiny and criticism for several hundred years which continues to this day. Islam must not be granted any special privileges or be exempt from such treatment as the implications are of tremendous importance.
Here is a recent statement from a group of Bangladeshi apostates living in the UK explaining the reasons why they have abandoned Islam:
“One who claims to be a messenger of God is expected to live a saintly life. He must not be given to lust, he must not be a sexual pervert, and he must not be a rapist, a highway robber, a war criminal, a mass murderer or an assassin. One who claims to be a messenger of God must have a superior character. He must stand above the vices of the people of his time. Yet Muhammad’s life is that of a gangster godfather. He raided merchant caravans, looted innocent people, massacred entire male populations and enslaved the women and children. He raped the women captured in war after killing their husbands and told his followers that it is okay to have sex with their captives (Qur’an 33:50). He assassinated those who criticized him and executed them when he came to power and became de facto despot of Arabia. Muhammad was bereft of human compassion. He was an obsessed man with his dreams of grandiosity and could not forgive those who stood in his way…
The statement continues,
Muhammad was a narcissist, like Hitler, Saddam or Stalin. He was astute and knew how to manipulate people, but his emotional intelligence was less evolved than that of a 6-year-old child. He simply could not feel the pain of others. He brutally massacred thousands of innocent people and pillaged their wealth. His ambitions were big and as a narcissist he honestly believed he is entitled to do as he pleased and commit all sorts of crimes and his evil deeds are justified.”

Pick the right question to answer.
Blasphemy is punishable by death under Sharia/Islamic law. Does a charge of Islamophobia overlap enough that the target would fear for their life in any Sharia-compliant country? Or in any country where Muslims represent more than 10 per cent of the population?
Dead black slaves (at the hands of Arabs/Muslims) who had been castrated leave no offspring to answer your question about their perception of Islam. You would have to apply reason to figure out how they might have felt.
Islam demands obedience to government commands, if it is based on Sharia. No dissent is allowed to the Islamic top dogs. It represents the very thing that is repugnant to the US First Amendment right to not to be silenced when criticizing government. A charge of Blasphemy or Apostasy or Islamophobia is all this is needed. The difference is not the act but the status of the actor as Muslim or not and whether Sharia is or is not yet the law of the land. A charge of Islamophia is a call for your head to be severed from your body, under Sharia, if and when it becomes the law of the land.
Suppose that Obama unleashed his Obamabots to engage in weekly Friday rage against some targeted individual or group. Would this be civil behavior? Would it become so if he identified himself as a Muslim and said Islam demanded it? Obama said at the UN: “The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.” Ask how this is different, if indeed it is, from the Saudi Arabian government chopping the head off a sorcerer or anyone else who objects to Islam or the imposition of Sharia. Look up the Istanbul Process, with its goal to impose that same sort of penalty worldwide.
The Islamophobia campaign is to teach you what not to say and to get you to be a complicit enforcer of Sharia on your peers. Your motivation is either fear, or a misguided fit of competitive moralism.
This are my own views. Before 9/11 I could almost ignore all things Islam and Muslim other than to read about US law opposing the Arab boycott of Israel. I also recall an immigration law test question on asylum that dealt with Kurds who had risen up against Saddam Hussein only to be slaughter en masse.
My favorite court cases to read are the US First Amendment cases. They typically involve some legislative or executive attempt to silence a view or opponent. The challenged law is usually presented as neutral and fair on its face. The court routinely has to un-dissemble it to strike it down is illegal under the First amendment. The Islamic imperative of avoiding critique or objection is like so many such objectionable restraints on what people simply call Free Speech. Except that it is like tyranny on steroids, and sadly represents the law of the land in too many places around the world. Free Speech — to criticize government and Islam — is rationally viewed as a threat of the spread of individual liberty to places now governed by tyrants.
To favor Free Speech and individual liberty you must necessarily oppose Islam, worldwide. The alternative is wholly unacceptable, just because. For the love of liberty read just a few of the cases — any at random should due just fine– at this link: United_States_Supreme_Court_cases_involving_the_First_Amendment
Again: Is the crime of Blasphemy substantively different than the charge of Islamophobia? I say it is not. To oppose “Islamophobia” do you become the classic Rage Boy of internet fame?
Defcon 4 says
Islamophobia as a euphemism for islamic blasphemy laws. Interesting concept.
gravenimage says
You’re right, pdxnag—”Islamophobia” *is* about ‘blasphemy’—with a “hate crime” twist that Taqiyya-spewing Muslims have tailored to fly in the West.
Note that virtually all of those falsely identified as “Islamophobes”—such as Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller—regularly receive death threats, just as do those accused of blasphemy.

Possibly the negative attention given to Arabic, is because English, Spanish, Tagalog, Mandarin, Hindi, Hebrew, Keres and French have not been associated with any of the myriad terrorism attacks over the last 20 years.
This Guardian clown Younge, should perhaps remark on the forbearance of the American people in the face of these Arabic-related attacks and express wonderment that reaction has been so muted over the years.

The purpose of Bazian’s “Islamophobia” course and others like it is to turn out just such indoctrinated dhimmis as useful idiots for the cause of Islam.

mortimer says
It’s PROJECTION…attributing one’s own negative qualities onto to ‘others’ in an attempt to disown them and ‘purify’ oneself, while demonizing the scapegoat.
PROJECTION may also be called ‘scapegoating’. Muslims consider themselves ‘innocent’, while all ‘others’ are guilty.
A few quotes from Islamic scholarly authorities make this scapegoating very clear. PROJECTION or scapegoating are normative Islam, rather than an aberration.
mortimer says
The ‘Islamophobia’ slur is a thought-terminating cliché intended to prevent rational inquiry into jihad and Islamic supremacism.
James P. Breslin says
You are right Mr.Spencer. Why not a course in Christianophobia or Judeophobia?
Liberals have no idea how oppressive it is to live in a Muslim country. I remember how a friend of a friend was beaten Arab Banshees for wearing a skirt. I am a Jehovah’s Witness so I know what would happen to me if I went door to door in Saudi Arabia or had a glass of wine with lamb roast

Of the students who wrote to Mr Spencer, I’d peg the Yr 12 girl from Australia – the one from a Middle Eastern Christian background – as the least hopeless case; I’d say she’s educable. I hope she will *paysattention* to those within her community – Assyrian? Maronite? Copt? – who are critical of Islam and distrusting of Muslims; I hope she will *believe* the personal stories they tell.
I’m surprised Mr Spencer didn’t refer her to Dr Mark Durie’s book “The Third Choice: Islam, Dhimmitude and Freedom” and its companion booklet “Liberty to the Captives”. I don’t believe either of these books is beyond the capacity of a 16 or 17 year old to understand.
I wonder whether she’s been lurking here at this website. Maybe she’s reading this. If so: greetings from a fellow Australian, and please, young woman, *listen* to what your relatives say about Muslim cruelty and persecution of Christians, and in the name of God, **believe them**, because it is *true* and because that cruelty, that persecution, come straight out of the canonical texts of Islam. They are not an aberration. Muslims are *told* to do all those things.
There is a middle eastern Christian – a Maronite from Lebanon – called Brigitte Gabriel. Get and read her book “Because They Hate”. You will enjoy it, because as well as being a very dramatic and frightening – and truthful – story about what happens when Muslims en masse in a particular country start obeying their religion to the letter, it is also a very engaging story about a young girl growing up.
dumbledoresarmy says
Re the other student who wrote to Tarek Fatah. I do find it interesting that although the student couldn’t see the full extent of Hatem Bazian’s evil agenda, he had sufficient wit to see that he and his fellow students were being *exploited* in an unethical manner, and to feel cranky about it. Let’s hope that those niggling uncomfortable feelings will refuse to go away, and that in the end, he and his fellow students may decide that if they’re being *exploited* by the ‘professor’, then perhaps they *shouldn’t* buy the ‘professor”s intellectual product.
dumbledoresarmy says
Further thought. Students tell other students which academics to *avoid*. Methinks that some fairly negative word-of-mouth publicity about one Hatem Bazian may be spreading on the U of California Berkeley campus – “he makes you do *this*!!”, “he uses you as unpaid labour”, “he’s a *user*, don’t sign up for his course”. His entry in the unofficial “guide to our professors, lecturers and tutors” may end up being somewhat less than favourable.
Mohammad says
The whole western world is suffering from mass psychosis. Whether it be politics, economics, or Islam, the West has gone batsh*t insane in almost all things. We who know the danger these death cultists pose are the overwhelming minority. I had a friend many years ago who was one of the Lost Boys of Sudan. He told me stories of how the muslims came to his village and slaughtered the village, r*ped his mother in front of him, then cut his fathers throat. They then preceded to burn down the entire village. He escaped to Europe by crossing the Sahara desert, learned English, then came to the U.S. He then went on to go to college. He told me horror stories about this death cult. The whole Sudan thing is rarely mentioned in the media, sometimes some Hollywood moron will mention it, but they never talk about the reason why Sudan is like this. The wonderful arabs were also killing black muslims as well. I always wonder why blacks in the U.S embrace Islam. The Arabs were the main slave traders in Africa. The greatest threat to humanity is Islam. How can we evolve as a species when this death cult is hell bent on dragging the world back into the dark ages. The future looks dark for Western civilization. Europe is being colonized by these savages at a rapid rate. Just Google no go zones for non muslims in Europe. The jihad is raging across Africa, they are wining. SE Asia the jihad is in full force, the Philippines, ect ect. Everywhere you turn it’s the same thing. Canada is having issues, so is Australia. Both countries due to their low populations are prime targets for jihad by the womb, and both countries are full of Dhimmi’s I truly fear for the future, I’ll most likely be dead before the great war between our civilizations, but I hate the fact that if they win humanity will be dragged back to the stone age. I see most of the populace in the Western world incapable of recognizing this threat. Dhimmi’s of the highest order.
Mohammad says
As it stands now no western nation has any defense against two tactics they enemy is using against us. Stealth jihad (using the same playbook as the communists did) and jihad by the womb. They also tend to concentrate and ghettoize so to speak, so gaining control of local politics wherever they settle is easily done over time. They also out breed us by quite a large number in most cases. The U.S government is infiltrated at every level by stealth jihadists, so is Academia. The worst part is due to the left hating the Christians so bad and white people in general (including themselves the whole white guilt thing) as well as western civilization, many on the left are actively aiding the very people who if given the chance would kill or enslave them in a heartbeat. I don’t get it they would rather see us the right destroyed along with themselves than to admit that despite disagreeing with the right wing on most things, we pose no threat to their physical safety. You have a few lone wolf nut jobs out there who do things, but by doing that they are going against everything we stand for. That isn’t so for islam. The verses of the sword and by dividing us into the house of war and the house of islam, they are quite clear on their intentions. I honestly don’t think the West has the will or the stomach for this war of civilizations. Islam is anti human, all of the progress our species has made they want to turn back the clock. As someone who wants to see our species evolve they are anti everything I stand for. As I said the western world has gone batsh*t insane and are committing national suicide at every level. The world had become a bad acid trip, up is down down is up, right is wrong, wrong is right. There is nothing a powerless peasant like myself can do to change anything but it is disheartening to see. Sometimes I wish I would have taken the blue pill, living in blissful ignorance sometimes might be preferable since I can’t change a thing. Though I guess I’d rather know what kills me even if I can’t change it just because, maybe that makes me a sadist. Anyway person from Australia if you are reading this, wake the h*ll up. Your country due to it’s low population is a prime target for Islamic conquest via jihad by the womb, and immigration. All it takes is one leftist government who wants to use immigrants dependent on government to maintain power when they are unpopular (like Europe and the U.S) and you could see a rapid transformation of your country.

In a small city in Los Angeles county, CAIR funded a candidate for a city council position to the tune of a million dollars. This to win a local election. Their candidate lost.

“Islamophobia” in academia
The aptly-named Hatem “Hate ‘em” Bazian’s manipulative propaganda course at UC Berkeley in “Islamophobia,” in which he forces his students to adopt his agenda of demonizing opponents of jihad terror instead of allowing them to evaluate the value of his targets’ work for themselves…

And this is going on at my own alma mater. *Ugh*. As noted, though, this is hardly unusual these days in academia. Suicidal madness.

Canadian Muslim reformer Tarek Fatah received a panicked message from a student enrolled at the University of California at Berkeley, who along with 100 kids in his class is being forced to tweet on “Islamophobia” as a requirement in a course on that subject called “De-Constructing Islamophobia and the History of Otherness.”

Grotesque. While certain unprincipled instructors have long slanted things to reward students who share—or are prepared to parrot—their points of view, I don’t believe I have ever heard of such a blatant case as this one. This is indoctrination, pure and simple—it is clear that if a student disagrees with his professor that he can be penalized for not doing the coursework.
This is clearly unethical.
And Hatem Bazian’s “Palestinian” group has Hamas backing. A *very* disturbing figure.

I’d like to know how he was ever approved to teach this nonsense. And, after being given the job, why does the university allow him to continue spreading these hateful ideas? A reminder to parents: do you want your kids learning from him? Then keep some control over what they sign up for.
