Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

College professors organize national “Teach-In” to challenge “Trumpism,” “Islamophobia”

Jan 16, 2017 10:24 am By Robert Spencer

“Islamophobia” is a propaganda term designed to intimidate people into being afraid to resist jihad and Islamic supremacism. But that doesn’t faze today’s enlightened Leftist academics:

“On that day, we intend to organize against the proposed expansion of state violence targeting people of color, undocumented people, queer communities, women, Muslims, and many others. On that day, we intend to resist the institutionalization of ideologies of separation and subordination, including white supremacy, misogyny, homophobia, Islamophobia, and virulent nationalism.”

State violence? Who is proposing any state violence? Why, no one, of course, but the Left is in the midst of a hysterical meltdown of Vesuvian proportions over the prospect of the inauguration of Trump on Friday. Meanwhile, imagine how surprised these professors will be when their Muslim friends start to force their women into hijabs and niqabs and start to throw the members of “queer communities” off the tops of tall buildings.

“College Professors Organize National ‘Teach-In’ to Challenge ‘Trumpism,’” by Susan Berry, Breitbart, January 15, 2017:

Some 25 colleges and universities – many of them public – have answered a call by professors at UCLA to use their regular class time to “teach, organize, and resist” what they view as the discriminatory political agenda of President-elect Donald Trump.

Slated for Wednesday, January 18, the teach-in, dubbed #J18, is taking place between the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday and Trump’s inauguration. The event’s planners say:

Let it be known that on #J18 and beyond, universities, colleges, and high schools refused to bear silent witness to the politics of hate and fear; that in these times, these places of teaching and learning not only served as a sanctuary for its students and workers but also stood up to proclaim the power of knowledge on the frontlines of social justice.

On January 18, the professors are calling upon their colleagues to “Teach, Organize, Resist,” and “affirm the role of critical thinking and academic knowledge in challenging Trumpism.”

They continue:

On that day, we intend to teach about the agendas and policies of the new administration, be it the proposed dismantling of economic and environmental regulations or the threatened rollback of the hard-won rights that form the fragile scaffolding of American democracy. On that day, we intend to organize against the proposed expansion of state violence targeting people of color, undocumented people, queer communities, women, Muslims, and many others. On that day, we intend to resist the institutionalization of ideologies of separation and subordination, including white supremacy, misogyny, homophobia, Islamophobia, and virulent nationalism.

In addition to UCLA, universities participating in the event to date include: American University, Washington, D.C.; University of California, Berkeley; University of Cincinnati; University of Dayton; University of Minnesota; New York University; Princeton University; Texas State University; University of Kentucky; Vanderbilt University; and University of Washington….

    sadly leftists control higher education in the US. With antisemitism increasing every day as well as calls to fight so called ‘Islamophobia. leftist professors will no doubt try and make excuses for violent Islam

      I’m embarrassed by these supposedly “educated” individuals. The only violence I see is by BLM and Never-Trump idiots who are funded by George Soros and egged-on by Michael Obama and other Marxist/’progressives’, gays and blacks beating up old men wearing Donald Trump hats, etc. How many white conservatives go around assaulting people (the knock-out ‘game’). Of course there are the increasing attacks by Muslims against non-Muslims…repeat-offender illegals the turn-style justice system keeps releasing…..but somehow a businessman, reality TV actor and casino owner is supposedly more of a threat? Yeah, I realize they just legalized marijuana in Commifornia….I thought that was supposed to calm people down! These folks must have something a bit stronger in their pipes!

      They control it in UK also, which is why most younger people are thrilled, absolutely thrilled, by the prospect of much more immigration from Africa and the Middle East.

      Sadly this much vaunted “education” does not seem to include the basic laws of economics, such as supply and demand, which is why we are seeing the National Health Service totally overwhelmed by demand from the hugely increased population and the housing crisis, where people are desperate to find housing and are unable to do so.

      The snowflake generation is quite unable to put two and two together.

      Indeed. All students with a brain should be disgusting. Unfortunatedly, most of the staff are indoctrinated. And those who took fake courses in feminism now control history.

    Seems like many protest groups spell out what they are “against”, and the list appears to be a long one–didn’t see anti-semitism, anti-Christian, anti-abortion, anti-BDS, anti-fake news media, anti-rape, anti-truthiness…
    I’d like to see more people standing “for”, researching and acquiring knowledge of the facts and then have honest to goodness debates that can lead to solid conclusions. We used to take debate classes in high school and university; we respected opposing viewpoints and our peers. It was called tolerance. Mr. Spencer continuously engages in debates for many years now, and he has prepared himself for his task over those years. Academia used to be hallmark of higher learning, investigation, research, apologetics… The best they can produce now is a protest to resist virulent nationalism and white supremacy? Seems shallow and intellectually vacuous.

      “I’d like to see more people standing “for”, researching and acquiring knowledge of the facts and then have honest to goodness debates that can lead to solid conclusions.”

      Imagine that in an institution of higher learning?

      Ah, yes, that’s how it use to be.

    And just the other day I posted something about the class struggle preached by Communism having, in the West, moved from economics to culture, creating a desperate need for perceived inequalities and “oppressed” and “oppressor” classes…

    Conservative students all over the USA should start a REGISTER giving the names of the leftist educators, name of University and his/her teaching subject

    As Hillary threatened “to SHAME ” them because they have been literally INDOCTRINATING several generations of young minds to be against Patriotism, against Religion, against military, against all those who do not follow their creed; for multiculturalism as all costs, for sexual promiscuity and ungodliness

    I have absolutely no doubt that at least 85% of them will be in California or New York universities

    Leftist Academia is even a worst SWAMP than the Political and it too must be DRAINED!

    It is time that the American parents have the backbone to stand up and jointly meet the leaders of these universities and give them a dressing down and threats that they will not be able to dismiss or ignore

    “We the People” have been given a mandate by destiny the instant Donald J Trump becomes President. “We the People” must assert their enormous clout and power and CHANGE the US education system by utterly eliminating all ideas of Globalism and Secularism

    A NEW DAWN will shine on the 21st January 2017 and ALL Patriotic Americans should henceforth be Pro Active in support of D J Trump so that he can in concert with “We the People” to make America EXCEPTIONAL again

      IQ, I usualy agree with what you say, but please don’t knock secularism. Many people mistake secularism for atheism, but essentially it means ‘separation of religion and State’. A secular government is one which does not endorse any particular state religion, and where citizens have freedom of religious belief – like the US and Australia. Religion is often a very emotive issue, and secularism is the only way to maintain harmony and tolerance in a pluralist society.

      On the other hand, Islamic governments are theocracies where everyone must adhere to the same belief. There is no separation of religion and State, and Islamic or Sharia law is the law of the land.

      The founding fathers of the US Constitution, introduced the First Amendment to prevent the sort of conflicts which raged in Europe between Protestants and Catholics in past centuries. And now with Islam trying to dominate us all, secularism is even more important and must be strictly enforced.

        There are definitely many secularists who are staunch Anti-Jihadists.

    Did you folks know that Milo was to speak at a university a few days ago and the left ran him off the campus? Sorry – no links. The Left held a demonstration and “created an atmosphere where security could not be guaranteed”, so he couldn’t speak. Now I have only ever watched one video of him speaking, but it was brilliant. I have no idea what he was to speak about, but surely, him being gay, you would think the Left would let him speak… but no, they simply can’t stand any challenging views. He might make them think. They are too fragile – like snowflakes. They might melt or something.

    • gravenimage says

      Jan 16, 2017 at 8:02 pm

      I think this is the story, billybob:

      “Milo Yiannopoulos, Martin Shkreli Campus Event Cancelled Due to Protests”

      http://fortune.com/2017/01/14/milo-yiannopoulo-martin-shkreli-uc-davis/

      He’s going to speak on the Quad there, anyway. I may not agree with Milo on every point, but there is no doubt that he is a brave and principled person.

      • billybob says

        Jan 16, 2017 at 8:22 pm

        Thanks for that. Had no idea what “the Quad” was, but I Googled it. Seems to be a show directed to the black community. Can’t imagine what he would have to say, but whatever it was, it was bound to make people think, something they avoid these days on campuses.

        • gravenimage says

          Jan 17, 2017 at 10:50 pm

          billybob, “the Quad” just means the quadrangle–many universities have such an open-air square or area where students can gather. Milo speaking on the Quad just means he will be speaking out in public, rather than being booked into an auditorium.

          I’ve been to the UC Davis campus, including the Quad–here is a picture:

        It’s called ‘free speech’.

        The way so many lefties want to run people off campuses that they disagree with…One would think that these people were carriers of small pox, or advocating lynching n****** again.

        ‘Free speech’, and debate on college campuses.

        Imagine that.

    “or the threatened rollback of the hard-won rights that form the fragile
    scaffolding of American democracy.”

    What do “rights” mean in a society without law?

    The left has repeatedly called to disregard the law: looting during ‘protests’, illegal immigration, overturning the results of elections, freedom of speech, and on and on. Surely, the only “right” which remains after laws are abolished is that of “might.” (i.e. strength)

    These b||||||||s can fall down a flight of stairs face first, behind the police administration building, with their hands cuffed behind them, and I wouldn’t care at all.

    The demented, god-cursed LEFT will try to deny Trump, lie about him, obstruct him, and hurt him at every single turn—and this includes hurting ordinary people like you and me.

    —And MY LIFE MATTERS! (MLM!)

    And so does yours, and the lives of your families. These are times that try our souls. Lift up the banner of of your sacred honor, life, liberty, and Fortune’s favor:

    ?If the left’s lips are moving, they are apparently lying or deluded. The same applies to their supporters, enablers, Fake Newsers, and advocates.
    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-multi-billionaire, 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, debauched-looking face of their newest poster shill, John “The Tea Party Spit On Me” Louse,” the failed, “great civil rights leader,” to see how they roll in their own, filthy, stinking lies about Donald Trump and you.
    Their despicable “heroes,” like John 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, in about 6 weeks? ??
    .
    Will you pass these ideas onward and forward to your mailing lists and resources? It’s your Move, isn’t it?
    .

    ISLAMOPHOBIA IS THE OFFICIAL GOAL OF ISLAM.

  16. IQ al Rassooli says

    Jan 17, 2017 at 5:22 pm

    ISLAMOPHOBIA

    Islamophobia is a neologism used to refer to an irrational fear or prejudice towards Muslims and the religion of Islam.

    IslamoPhobia means IRRATIONAL Fear of Islam or Muslims

    The term has achieved a degree of linguistic and political acceptance which is utterly at odds with facts and reality.

    Let us firstly deal with the FACTS:

    1 Muslims are the only group on the face of planet Earth who show their anger, their destructiveness, their Hatemongering and their Warmongering on TV, in Print, in their Educational System and in their Speech against ALL other belief systems be they Christian, Buddhist, Jewish, Hindu or Animist

    2 They are the only group who manifest their Hate and Anger while holding their holy book the Quran in one hand and Guns, grenade launchers, swords and daggers with the other.

    3 They are the only group who while demonstrating their hatred and anger shout and call upon the name of their god with their TERROR VERSE

    ” Allahu Akbar”

    4 They are the only group who in the “name of Allah” slaughter UNARMED and innocent civilians by the sword, suicide bombings, beheadings, blowing up planes, buses, trains etc etc

    5 Of all the acts of terror and AGGRESSION in the world today, Muhammadan Muslims have the pride of being the number one in at least 55 countries in the world on FOUR continents.

    6 Muhammadan Muslim law, called the Sharia’, discriminates unreservedly against the following:

    a) All females (even be they the followers of Muhammad
    b) All UNBELIEVERS such as Christians, Buddhists, Hindus, Jews etc
    c) All Homosexuals
    d) All sects of Muhammadan Muslims who do not follow their methods

    7 Muslims BURN and destroy the holy places of other religious groups such as Churches, Buddhist temples, Hindu shrines and synagogues without remorse.

    8 Muslims show nothing but UTTER CONTEMPT for the beliefs, property and lives of all those who do not believe as they do

    9 Muslims massacre, mutilate, rape and destroy the lives and holy places of other Muhammadan Muslims who do not follow the same path.

    10 Muslims in the Western Democracies, while hiding behind their Freedoms of Speech and Belief, declare in public, in the media that they intend to turn the Christian Democracies into replicas of their DEPRAVED belief systems.

    11 Most Muslims in the world – the so called ‘Silent Majority’ – RARELY demonstrate against these inhumane, depraved and sickening acts and behaviour conducted daily in their name and in the name of ‘Islam’.

    12 One can understand and sympathize with those Muhammadan Muslims who live under Islamic governments and live in fear of being in the opposition, but those who live in Democracies HAVE NO EXCUSE WHATSOEVER in showing their disapproval, disgust and anger at those who are allegedly bringing Muhammadan Islam in DISREPUTE.

    Not ONCE in the last THIRTY years have any of them DEMONSTRATED anywhere in the democracies against the alleged Radicals/ Extremists shouting:

    NOT in Our NAME!

    13 It is one of the great ironies of history that it was Muhammad himself who said :
    “SILENCE MEANS CONSENT”, hence the silence of the followers of Muhammad in the West does mean that they CONSENT to what others are committing in their name and in the name of Muhammadan Islam.

    In fact and in reality, they have no choice since those that the media ERRONEOUSLY call ‘Islamic Radicals’ are actually the truest believers in the faith of Muhammadan Islam since they are ONLY following what the QURAN itself commands them to do in hundreds upon hundreds of verses:

    To force into Conversion, to Hate, to War, to Subjugate, to Slaughter, to Plunder, to Rape and to Enslave ALL those human beings who do not believe as they do. That is the remaining 80% of Humanity.

    If all the above items which any and all sane human beings are watching on TV, reading in the newspapers or listening to on the Radio DO NOT JUSTIFY being AFRAID of ISLAM, what DOES?

    Therefore it would be IRRATIONAL not to Fear Islam and or Muslims thus rendering Islamophobia as a contradiction of terms; an OXYMORON

    Muhammadan Islam IS RADICAL, it has no SHADES.
