South Africa: Muslim students demand that Jewish students be expelled from university

Mar 16, 2015 12:45 pm By Robert Spencer

Durban University of TechnologyThe Durban University of Technology’s Student Representative Council issued a statement referring to Israel as an “apartheid state.” This is the antisemitic poison that is found on university campuses all over the world these days. And even though this effort failed, there will certainly be more attempts to bar Jews from university campuses.

Watch this video of a black South African explaining why Israel is not an apartheid state. “Muslims attack Jews in South Africa! Demand that Jewish students be kicked from university,” by Matt Waterson, Catholic Online, February 16, 2015:

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) – A student group from Durban University of Technology (DUT) called for all Jews to be expelled from the school, because of their potential stance on the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine.

In response, Vice Chancellor and Principal Ahmed Bawa called the “outrageous” demand “a deep violation of… every human rights principle.”

“One of the demands on the memorandum was deregistration of Jewish students at DUT, to which my response was that this was outrageous, preposterous and a deep violation of our National Constitution and every human rights principle.

“No student at DUT will be discriminate [sic] against on the basis of religion, race, gender, political affiliation or sexual orientation.”…

Immediately, a secretary with the student council, Mqondisi Duma, fired back. Stating that the decision to demand that Jews leave the university was the result of analysis of “international politics. We took the decision that Jewish students, especially those who do not support the Palestinian struggle, should deregister.”…

The Student Representative Council released an apology letter, which was not, in fact, very apologetic.

“The SRC apologises without reservation to anyone offended by recent demands made by us regarding Jewish students,” the statement said. “Once more, we repeat our position, Israel is an apartheid state that should be fully isolated; on this point we will not concede.

“If there are any students, Jewish, Muslim, Christian, even atheists or any other that is funded by the apartheid state of Israel and its institutions they must not be students at DUT. If there are any, they must be immediately deregistered. Our campuses will not be breeding grounds for apartheid.”

    The muslim students should be expelled, not the Jewish ones! This is outrageous!!

      In fact sharia compliant countries are, by definition, apartheid; so by the student council’s reasoning ALL muslim students must be expelled

    • Manuel paleologus says

      Mar 16, 2015 at 3:41 pm

      Yes. All the muslim students should be expelled and send back to the muslim countries they belong.

        I’m guessing quite a number of them are black converts to Islam who got suckered into converting to the actual slavemasters’ religion under the guise of it being their “natural” religion.

        abad, Mary Sue, not true, unfortunately. The British took to South Africa people from Malaya – as it was called back them. They were Muslim. I grew up in the Western Cape Province of South Africa and there were many there, but in those days – despite apartheid – we co-existed peacefully and they were peaceful, but today we are dealing with a different, resurgent and once again savage, intolerant, supremacist Islam. No doubt today some blacks have converted to Islam as it weaves it’s ugly web all over the continent.

      Judi, you are right. The Muslim students should be expelled. They represent and support the most vicious apartheid system in the world today, Islam with its disgusting sharia.

      Verdempte moslems. Always causing problems where they are. This moslem organisation must be defunded and expelled from campus politics.

    So very happy that Vice Chancellor Bawa stood up for the Jewish students. This Muslim student group seems to get away with whatever they are allowed. So they should be given a very narrow swath, in keeping with all the rules and regs of their heinous belief system.

    The students who want to throw out jews are obviously pro-apartheid, and should be kicked out as the outcome of their own logic.

    • Mary Sue says

      Mar 17, 2015 at 12:07 am

      Moslems are pro-apartheid in reality.

    The gross anti-Semitic angle of this story is bad enough, but why are we always hearing about “Muslims *demand* this”, and “muslims *demand* that”, and so on and so on, ‘demand’, ‘demand’, demand’……. I always thought that a ‘demand’ was a kind of ‘official request’ from those in authority, which had to be complied with. Muslims in the West are NOT in any position of ‘authority’ and no one has to take any notice of them, so why do we keep hearing that ‘D’ word so often? It’s becoming really irritating!!!

    • Bettina says

      Mar 16, 2015 at 4:32 pm

      Jay, anyone can be demanding of other people’s efforts, and more so when they feel ENTITLED to all they want, right now if not sooner. They’re blood-thirsty parasites, so they demand privileges way beyond what normal folks merely ask for.
      They want to be more equal than anyone else, in the civil rights and human rights arena. So they demand that our boundaries succumb to their narcissistic spoiled-brat routine.

    When I was in 12th grade back home in Iran, we did not have electives etc… You either majored in Math, Science or literature. The grading system was different too. It was from 0 to 20. Anything below 10 you failed and if you got a 20 you got an A plus! one of the subjects was religion(Islam) and we had it once a week! This is a course that everyone aced! because all you had to know was a few BS such as the 5 pillars of Islam!! In our class there a Jewish student with near genius IQ! He was exempt from attending this class because he was a Jew. One day in our class the teacher said to all of us: You are all failures because a Jew is doing much better than you”! This is the Islamic mentality. m

      I was lucky and saw your “left hand” post. This is funny because my grandfather did the same thing to my uncle way back in the 1940’s. My brother is also L handed, however my parents did nothing to stop what nature intended. You know what they say, L handed people are in their right mind.

    “Our campuses will not be breeding grounds for apartheid.”

    The blatant, two faced hypocrisy of these Muslim vermin beggars belief. Apartheid is a fundamental tenet of Islam.
    How much more ” apartheid” can you get than describe non Muslims as apes and pigs and DENY THEM EVERY SINGLE HUMAN RIGHT.
    In Islam, non Muslims have NO social, political or economic rights. In Islam, non Muslims are NON PEOPLE

    Universities
    … Just a general comment about Universities

    There seems to be a two-step dance between (‘progressive’ PC) television and universities.
    Television offers up what on-the-surface appears to be a bold and adventurous challenge to the status quo.
    Bear with me for a moment…
    1 — ‘Religion’ is mocked, non-Muslim religion that is. Christianity in particular.
    2 — Pre-teens discuss sex and abortion with parents in a flippant gratuitous manner followed by a staged sentimental moment so as not to appear too openly gratuitous all the while hinting that the big bully in the room is religion — hint not Islam.
    3 — The usual secular liberal agenda is spoon fed and promoted as if ‘DUH’ doesn’t everybody accept this as common knowledge and that if anybody does not accept this they should be peer pressured into submission to the Leftist PC ideal.

    The point is that by the time such students get to universities the have already been groomed to be approval seeking automatons waiting to be programmed as to what to think while still maintaining an plausible aura of them being brave idealistic challengers to the status quo.

    South Africa: Muslim students demand that Jewish students be expelled from university
    ……………………….

    Antisemitism with the thinnest of veils.

    And note that they did not want Israeli students expelled, but *all Jews*.

    This would, as others have already pointed out, make this school *itself* an apartheid institution.

    I would call them hypocrites, but they are not. Muslims are just using Western concepts to try to further their agenda of imposing Islamic law.

    And this is a false charge against democratic Israel, in any case. These Muslims just hope such a charge will resonate in the West—especially in South Africa.

    And the fact is that apartheid—against Infidels—is institutionalized all over the Muslim world.

    Jewish students and Jewish South Africans were in the forefront of the anti-apartheid effort in South Africa. This is their payback. Next time, maybe stick to whales.

    Are these the same black supremacist commies that led Rhodesia, and then finally SA to crash and burn and join the rest of the utopian Africa? Muh oprreshun indeed. I hope every white and every Jew leaves all these black and muslim lands and leaves them to their own.

    • Jay Boo says

      Mar 16, 2015 at 7:37 pm

      The article is about (Muslim Students) and their demands so when you suggest that black supremacist commies are who is demanding this you may very well be incorrect. If you wish to suggest that they are allied that is a different topic. When South Africa was rule by minority colonial whites as an “apartheid state” that was morally unsustainable.

      The orange colored link in the article at the sentence (Watch this video of a black South African explaining why Israel is not an apartheid state.) contradicts your one size fits all “black supremacist commies that led Rhodesia” approach. that you offered.

    Gonna take a wild guess here that the Jewish students at the school of technology outperform he Muskim students by a vast margin “for some reason.”

  12. Porkistan says

    Mar 16, 2015 at 7:21 pm

    20% of white South Africans have left since Apartheid ended. Another 20% (along with any educated blacks who can leave too) and South Africa will be a giant clone of Detroit. This article illustrates that there’s no problem on earth that islam can’t make even WORSE.

    Oh, I see, it’s not the behavior of the Jewish students, or any current view on Palestine they may have that is so vexing, why no, it’s theirpotential stance that causes the trouble.

    It looks like the Muslims are doing their best to end any resistance to jihad before it starts.

    A little prevention impedes a pound of potential.

    Muslim students of DUT, you’re geniuses all. Isn’t it marvelous that Muhammad recited the glorious Qur’an to give you guidance? As you know, in sura two the Cow, Allah says that the Jews are ungrateful and prone to thievery.

    Well little Ummahbots, you’re really thinking now. Moreover, you’ve made a brilliant corollary to the late Fouad Ajami’s famous lament, “Wherever I go in the Islamic world, it’s the same problem; cause and effect, cause and effect.”*

    As long as you’re doing that strenuous, high-level thinking down there in Durban, why not immediately enforce Sharia and conduct preemptive amputations on every Jewish student, because, after all, one of them just might steal something.

    Wouldn’t it be a good idea to reduce the potential eruption of what Allah forbids by fifty percent?

    How much can a one-handed kid steal anyway?

    Apartheid was a gift to the global Marxists, the UK and Commonwealth countries, the Council of Churches and world trade organisations as justification to attack South Africa and eventually bring the country to it’s knees by allowing Soviet Russia to arm ANC terrorists who went on to kill many black as well as white people. There is just as much apartheid in southern Africa today under a corrupt black racist government who discriminate against white people and minority races. The apartheid activists are looking the other way having accomplished their real mission which was to ethnically cleanse South Africa of white people. There was no apartheid in Rhodesia but this country also experienced attacks on its three borders by Mandela’s ANC and the country was handed over to the black despot Mugabe by Britain to ruin. It’s due to the successful campaign against South Africa on the so called ‘apartheid’ issues that the left and pro-Arab supporters are now using it against Israel.

    if a Christian group made this demand (which they never would) it would make front page news and there would be riots across the world.
