Suheil Laher will fit right in at Brandeis and virtually anywhere else in American academia today. University campuses are no longer centers of higher learning; they’re hard-Left indoctrination camps that tolerate no dissent and look favorably upon Islamic jihadists as supposed victims of American “Islamophobia” and the Israeli war machine.
“Brandeis Hires Anti-Semitic Islamist With Al-Qaeda Links,” by Sam Westrop, PJ Media, January 17, 2017:
In 2016, Brandeis University hired an anti-Semitic Islamist formerly linked to al-Qaeda to teach students about Islam.
Brandeis offered Boston-based cleric Suheil Laher a job in its Near Eastern and Judaic Studies department despite his long history of involvement with extremist causes. That history includes his leadership of a now-defunct charity that raised funds for jihadist causes in Bosnia, Chechnya, and Afghanistan.
This academic year, Laher is teaching two courses at Brandeis: “Introduction to the Qu’ran” and “Muhammad: Life, Teachings, and Legacy.” Given Laher’s past, what strain of Islam is he likely to promote?
Before Brandeis, Laher was the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)’s Muslim chaplain for almost twenty years. While at MIT, he also served, from 2000, as head of a Boston-based charity named CARE International (not to be confused with the current charity of the same name). Originally named the “Al Kifah Refugee Center,” the charity was founded by Abdullah Azzam, a founding member of al-Qaeda and a mentor to Osama Bin Laden.
CARE served to support jihad. According to J.M. Berger, a fellow with the International Centre for Counter-Terrorism at The Hague:
[H]undreds of thousands of dollars passed through CARE for distribution to jihadists and jihad-support organizations overseas.
CARE also arranged public screenings of jihadist videos, and published a newsletter called “Al Hussam” (“The Sword”), which “was stuffed with short, informative news items from various fronts in the global jihad.”
Berger notes:
CARE’s tactics included dinner speeches and events at local mosques and universities, among them MIT, Boston College, and Boston University, usually slipping them in under the auspices of the local Muslim Students Association.
As the MIT Muslim chaplain, Laher would have overseen MIT’s Muslim Students’ Association and have been able to promote CARE’s jihadist causes among the Muslim students under his leadership.
While at MIT, Laher did not hide his Islamist views. His personal website at the time featured attacks on Jews, Christians, and kuffar (non-believers):
The kuffar, including the Jews and Christians, can never become our intimate friends, confidantes or close allies.
Laher’s personal website featured al-Qaeda leader Abdullah Azzam’s infamous call to jihad. It also linked to an al-Qaeda fundraising website. It urged Muslims to reject the “evils” of the West.
His personal website also declared: “[T]he only solution prescribed by Allah is jihad.”
Laher’s reputation as a leading Islamist operative brought him into contact with Aafia Siddiqui, later known as “Lady al-Qaeda.” Siddiqui studied at MIT before receiving a PhD in neurobiology from Brandeis in 2001. A mere three years later, in May 2004, the FBI named Siddiqui one of seven “most wanted” al-Qaeda fugitives.
According to Der Spiegel:
[Siddiqui] met several committed Islamists through the Muslim student group at MIT. One was Suheil Laher, the group’s imam, an open advocate of Islamization and jihad before Sept. 11…..

The main contact link for the president of Brandeis University: http://www.brandeis.edu/president/staff.html
Note that an email path to him is posted at that page’s UPPER RIGHT, but you might want to choose Peter M. Giumette instead (center top).
He is apparently a major person, but perhaps is not quite so busy with constant correspondence.

But, Ayaan Hirsi Ali is not welcome at Brandeis.
If I were an Alumnus, I would NEVER support this school again.

Exactly.
But this Islamic supremacist is now welcome to spew his bile, as a professor no less, at Brandeis, of all places. He’ll fit right in with the rest of the faculty.
Jaladhi says
This is how the American universities are helping spread of Islam by hiring Muslim preachers as “Professors”. The fact is these guys should never be allowed to enter the campus and barinwash the young mind.
davej says
The swamp of Middle East Study programs in most US Universities needs to be drained of people like this. Replace them with genuine scholars who are capable of clear eyed analysis instead of hiring known jihadists. American students deserve the truth about Islam, not a warmed over bowl of propaganda.
Meanwhile the Huffington Post is busy denouncing the Ted Cruz bill to finally name the Muslim Brotherhood as a terror group. As it is already so designated in Russia and even Egypt. Huffpo claims that this bill is part of an “Islamophobia industry”, that the MB’s goal of instating Shariah law and undermining our government is a “right wing conspiracy theory”. Apparently they haven’t read the material.

Brandeis hired this dumpy little Moslem creep? You’ve got to be kidding! I would demand my money back. They’ve been on my sh** list since the Hirsi Ali debacle. What morons!

CAN A MUSLIM BE A LOYAL AMERICAN?
This article is for all those Politically Correct dim wits and their liberal retards. I hope that all those who LOVE their country to read it from start to finish and send it on to others. One can replace American with any other none Muslim nationality on Earth and the result is the same.
To make sure readers appreciate how accurate it is, I challenge anyone – especially Keith Ellison – the sum of $100,000 to prove me wrong.
Theologically – NO. . . Because his submission is only to Allah – originally the name of the supreme rock god of Pagan Arabia- and hence most definitely not the same as the God of Jesus, Moses or Abraham.
Religiously – NO. . . Because no other religion is accepted by his Allah except Islam (Submission to Allah).
Al Imran 3: 85 “If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (submission to Allah) never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter he will be in the ranks of those who have lost”
Scripturally – NO. . . Because his allegiance is to Sharia based upon Muhammad’s Quran and Sunna.
Textually – NO … Because Muhammad’s Quran is Hatemongering, Warmongering, Misogynist, Racist, Intolerant, Duplicitous, Hypocritical & hence UNGODLY.
Geographically – NO. . . Because a Muslim bows in reverence to Mecca in Arabia, to which he turns in prayer five times a day.
Socially – NO. . . Because his devotion to Islam forbids him from making friends with Christians and Jews ~
Al Mai’da 5: 51 “O ye who believe! take not the Jews [Yahood] and the Christians [Nasara] for your friends and protectors: they are but friends and protectors to each other. And he amongst you that turns to them (for friendship) is of them…”
Al Tauba 9: 29 “Fight [qatiloo] those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His apostle nor acknowledge the religion of truth [ISLAM] (even if they are) of the People of the Book [Christians & Jews] until they pay the Jizya [onerous penalty for not being a Muslim] with willing submission and feel themselves humiliated”
Loyally – NO … Because his allegiance is primarily to ALL other Muslims all over the globe.
Ishaq:231 “Muslims are one ummah (community) to the exclusion of all men. Believers are friends of one another to the exclusion of all outsiders.”
Politically – No. . . Because he must submit to the mullahs (spiritual Leaders), who teach equal opportunity HATRED for ALL those who are not followers of Muhammad (currently 80% of humanity called Ummat al Kuffar/ Nation of Infidels) as well as calls for the destruction of America, The Great Satan.
Al Fath 48: 13 “And if any believe not in Allah and His Apostle We have prepared for those who reject Allah a Blazing Fire!”
Domestically – No. . . Because he is instructed to marry up to four women and beat and scourge his wife when she disobeys him
Al Nisaa 4:34 “Men are the protectors and maintainers of women because Allah has given the one more (strength) than the other and because they support them from their means. … As to those women on whose part ye fear disloyalty and ill-conduct admonish them; refuse to share their beds; beat them …”
Legally – No. . . Because he cannot accept the American Constitution as binding since it is not from Allah’s Sharia as well as he believes the Bible is corrupted.
Culturally- NO… Because Muslims belong to a culture that prefers Death more than Life.
Ibrahim 14: 3 “Those who love the life of this world more than the Hereafter who hinder (men) from the Path of Allah and seek therein something crooked: they are astray by a long distance”
Constitutionally – No. . . Because Sharia is the nemesis of Democracy; it does not allow for freedoms of religion, expression or belief. Democracy and Islam is an oxymoron; a state of affairs that cannot possibly co-exist. Every Muslim government is either dictatorial, autocratic or theocratic and hence dysfunctional.
Spiritually – No. . . Because the USA declares ‘one nation under God.’ The Christians’ God is loving and kind, while Allah is NEVER referred to as Heavenly father, nor is he ever called love in the Quran’s 99 excellent attributes.
This is why American Muslims are so quiet and not speaking out about all the world wide atrocities allegedly committed by so called ‘radical’ Muslims.
Not once has there been a major demonstration – whether in Europe or the USA – by the so called ‘silent majority’ Muslims expressing their revulsion at acts of terror committed by these alleged ‘radicals’ shouting out loud “NOT IN OUR NAME!”
Muhammad said: SILENCE means CONSENT!
Therefore, after much study and deliberation…. Perhaps Americans should be very suspicious of ALL MUSLIMS in their country.
Muslims obviously cannot be both ‘good’ Muslims and good Americans. Call it what you will, these are the FACTS based entirely in chapter and verse upon their scripture.
Americans had better believe it. The more who understand these realities, the better it will be for Americans and their future generations.
This is NOT a clash of Civilizations but a clash of Beliefs.
Footnote: Muslims have PUBLICLY and repeatedly declared their intention to destroy the USA from within.

Unfortunately today muslims are seen in the U.S. as a curiosity, as something “cute”. The media has constantly attempted to portray them as just regular people who happen to have other beliefs and a different religion, which by the way must be learned by the general non-muslim population.
As the picture of this miscreant muslim misfit shouts, muslims are in America not ti integrate but to create havoc, to attack little by little, at the workplace, at the convinience store, at the bank, at the sports field. Once they have inserted themselves into the fabric of the American way of life, they’ll start with greater demands: Public places of worship, special sites where to wash their filthy feet before lifting their arses to praise their hate-mongering “prophet”, halal food throughout the whole country, declaring muslim holidays as national holidays, special accomodations for their backwards and discriminatory customs, enforcing sharia law in US courts, demanding special privileges in school curricula.
The muslim invasion of the U.S. must be first halted and then reversed. Muslims need to be sent back to where they belong. Thay can choose from among 50-plus failed nations that span an area 3 times as large as the U.S., where they speak their same language, they’re practice their same lousy “religion”, they dress in the same awful dress code they try to impose on the West, they share the same (lack of) values, sharia law is the official rule of the land and where they can kill each other to their heart’s content.

Brandeis University, rooted in Jewishness and originally sponsored by the Jewish community at large in America, is now no more Jewish than is Georgetown University Catholic.
Sign of the times. Big sign. Troubling sign. Count on this and proceed from here if you have any regard for the preservation of the civilization, Western Civilization, that pioneered more rights than any other civilization in history even remotely has.
Right now, fools aplenty in the West who are in leadership roles, in academia, in the media, in the political realm, remain in “continuation-mode” exculpating the absolutely worst religion ever developed by mankind, i.e., Islam. Which religion will surely destroy, if allowed, so much of the best which the West developed, staring with the evisceration of liberty—————and then it will be all downhill thereafter.
Strange times in which we live. The very civilization which accomplished more than any other civilization in history——in science and technology, in the great experiment which is freedom, in women’s rights, in the laudable capacity to apologize for its wrongdoings, et al., is now the one civilization which can be excoriated without fear of retribution.
Meanwhile, one of the worst examples of what humans have wrought, Islam, is given pass after pass, for instance at Brandeis and Georgetown.
This is madness. Sheer madness. And so welcome again to what I have for years called the Age of Nonsense.

Just as a reminder:
“Founded in 1948 as a non-sectarian, coeducational institution sponsored by the Jewish community, Brandeis was established on the site of the former Middlesex University. The university is named after Louis Brandeis, the first Jewish Justice of the U.S Supreme Court… In 2014, Brandeis announced it would offer an honorary doctorate to Ayaan Hirsi Ali, “a staunch supporter of women’s rights”, and an outspoken campaigner against female genital mutilation, honor killing and Islamic extremism in general. After complaints from the Council on American-Islamic Relations and internal consultation with faculty and students, Brandeis publicly withdrew the offer, citing that Ali’s statements condemning Islam were “inconsistent with the University’s core values.”

Yes–that was appalling–are they admitting that opposing violent Jihad and the horrors of Shari’ah law are “inconsistent with the University’s core values”?

Well, this is just f*cking insane. If Suheil Laher were a Muslim who tried to keep his vile opinions and links to Jihad terror secret, I might just think university representatives were clueless–but this is much worse than that.

Can this devout Muslim, Insha allah, get MRSA and dye?
? If Islamists, or the Left, or the Euro-Weenies, or the Establishment Deep State’s lips are moving, they are apparently lying, deranged, or deluded.
The same applies to their supporters, enablers, and advocates. Also to their Fake News, multi-millionaire, mouthy, “anchor” Faces, and to their spoiled brat, Marxist-propagandized, demented, dumb, drug addict “celebrities.”
Don’t buy their CDs or the products they hawk on TV, don’t go to their inane movies, don’t visit their stupid sites, don’t listen to them on the radio.
Don’t watch them on their Fake News TV, don’t buy tickets to see them do ANYthing, and especially don’t watch or attend their dumb, leftist-activist “shows.”
Are they the oily, lying, “Shmuck Shroomer,” political type?
Or the lying, insane, “You can Keep Your Doctor,” I-rule-the-world, type?
Or the “Pajama Boy,” T-Shirted, Marxist-indoctrinated, spoiled, over-educated, multi-billionaire, or the web or silicon mogul type?
Or the blathering, “Holy,” Islamist, devoutly corrupt, Marxist, “priestly” type, from some other world?
Or the radical, leftist, multi-millionaire, arrogant, self-agrandizing “media” liar type?
If so, they would be your leftist, Islamist, One-World, slave-master wannabes. Your Rulers in waiting. And they are coming after you and your family, just as they are coming after Donald Trump and his family.
And…you have only to see the bloated, vacuous, dissolute-looking, mashed potato, collapsed-bullfrog face, of their newest poster shill.
” ‘The Tea Party Spit On Me,’ John Louse.” The lying, failed, “great civil rights leader.”
See how they roll in their own, filthy, stinking lies about Donald Trump and you?
Their despicable “heroes,” like Louse, and—Her The Stumbling Zombie Witch of New York—they demonstrate they stop at Nothing to grasp and clutch at their rotting, stinking, filthy goals for YOU.
Don’t believe any lying word they say. Ignore their lies. Defund them; block their plots.
“Find them; fix them in place; isolate them; and ridicule them.” (To paraphrase their leader, Saul Alinksky)
Think: would you maybe wipe them out financially? Or have them praising Trump? All in about 6 weeks? ??

Oh…by the way…we don’t “protest;” we don’t “riot;” we don’t “organize,” create “snowflake cells,” or “do Twitter,” in place of action.
