Discover the Networks has this about the International Institute of Islamic Thought’s ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and involvement in the fabrication of the term “Islamophobia”:
IIIT was named in a May 1991 Muslim Brotherhood document — titled “An Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal for the Group in North America” — as one of the Brotherhood’s 29 likeminded “organizations of our friends” that shared the common goal of destroying America and turning it into a Muslim nation. These “friends” were identified by the Brotherhood as groups that could help teach Muslims “that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and ‘sabotaging’ its miserable house by their hands … so that … God’s religion [Islam] is made victorious over all other religions.”…
In the early 1990s, IIIT invented and promoted the term “Islamophobia,” a term which implies that any societal fear associated with Islam is necessarily irrational, even if that fear stems from the fact that Islam’s prophet and its modern-day imams call on believers to kill infidels, or from the fact that the 9/11 attacks were carried out to implement those calls. Moreover, the term suggests that any negative societal reaction to such exhortations to violence reflects a bigotry that itself should be feared.
Former IIIT member Abdur-Rahman Muhammad — who was with that organization when the word was formally created, and who has since rejected IIIT’s ideology and terminated his membership in disgust — now reveals the original intent behind the concept of Islamophobia: “This loathsome term is nothing more than a thought-terminating cliche conceived in the bowels of Muslim think tanks for the purpose of beating down critics.” In short, in its very origins, “Islamophobia” was a term designed as a weapon to advance a totalitarian cause by stigmatizing critics and silencing them. This plan was an outgrowth of the Muslim Brotherhood’s deceptive “General Strategic Goal for North America.”
And now it is revealed that the IIIT gave Georgetown University $750,000 in 2015 alone (thanks to Raymond). From the IIIT’s Form 990 for 2015:
Georgetown University is the home of the Alwaleed bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding and its Bridge Initiative, both of which label energetically to propagate the fiction that honest analysis of the motivating ideology of jihad terrorists is “Islamophobia,” and to smear and demonize all who engage in it. And they’re doing it with a massive bankroll from a Muslim Brotherhood organization dedicated to “eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within.”

SLOWLY BUT SURELY THE PIECES FALL TOGETHER.
mortimer says
The Muslim Brotherhood should be declared a terrorist organization and those who receive money from them should be investigated and audited.
Philo sophy says
Islam in itself should be declared as terror leading belief system, with emphasis that Islamic belief is not consistent with secular world. India is suffering from Islam since 1400 years, no difference, all non-Muslim world sailing in the same boats. Let the world unite to protect our Civilized world from such terror leading system, they call way of life ? We are getting real way of life from science and that to without fear !!
Just now I read many article about … Rotherham Muslim Center for Rape …How much proof we need to arrive at such decision ?

The story is about Georgetown….with Muslim Student groups msa’s in far too many universities, this is influence …..money from Sauds this is influence, so what is new….just influence that far exceeds the “Russian influence”….. IIT International Institute of Islamic thought…. raising money and sending to colleges now you can see the trouble this country is in and the protesters revolutionary ideas is how we get conquered from within…. the plan to support students and colleges is major influence for the next generation that will soon be in positions of power. Where in the world was the leadership or were they in line also. Problem is they have the marketing muslim organizations to help with this invasion…and deception,that is good for no one.

Sorry triple I T.

The Muslim Student Association has been infiltrating universities for decades. At least, it seems, more people are aware of it — first step to resistance. Whatever we read here about Georgetown, has been dwarfed by much more extensive and insidious infiltration all over the country, going back to 1963 when it was established. They have a 50+ year head start … Let’s keep alert, and spread what we are learning wherever we can.

There is no doubt that we could find endless falsehoods being perpetrated by the Alwaleed bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding and its Bridge Initiative. We should pool money to take the university to court for both accepting the money to promote falsehood and for permitting this propaganda. A university should not be a dawah centre.
Gbox says
Georgetown is not the only university in the US accepting funds from the Saudis, there is also Duke, Harvard, Princeton, Cornell, U of Arkansas, Berkeley, Texas U, and Rutgers. The Saudis have also influenced textbook content for our K-12 and high schools.
What the Islamists are doing is more effective than a military invasion– they have successfully embedded them selves in all of our institutions, including national security agencies, and except for a handful of Republican congressmen, no one is doing anything about it.
Every American, especially parents should be very concerned about this, and read the following two reports:

The author of the article at the National Review is eminently qualified…
Stanley Kurtz graduated from Haverford College and holds a Ph.D. in social anthropology from Harvard University. He did his fieldwork in India and taught at Harvard and the University of Chicago. Kurtz is a senior fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center and a former adjunct fellow with Hudson Institute, with a special interest in America’s “culture wars.” He has published extensively on family life, child rearing, religion, and psychology in various parts of the world. His writings on the family, feminism, homosexuality, affirmative action, and campus “political correctness” have appeared regularly for publications such as National Review, Policy Review, The Weekly Standard, the Wall Street Journal, and Commentary.

Ron Trent says
If anyone has a complaint with this article, they should contact Georgetown University.
Trying to bring in the federal government has no merit at this time. Those in charge at Georgetown University do not believe there is anything wrong by accepting money from this Islamic Group. Before one does complain, however, one would have to know all the facts. Commenting in this forum is one thing. If Georgetown University does not believe this is any threat then you will have to prove your case.
Gbox says
Contacting Georgetown directly would be an exercise in futility. They accepted $20 million in 2005 for their Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding, thereafter called the Prince Alwaleed bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding. It is headed by John Esposito, one of the more prominent apologists for all things Islamic, and who will not even acknowledge the persecution of Christians happening today. Furthermore, he has spoken at CAIR fundraisers, and called this Muslim Brotherhood organization “phenomenal”. It is highly unlikely that an institution that employs such a man and has built such a center with Saudi funds would change anything. They would circle the wagons and fight.
Northern Virginiastan says
IIIT, which is based in Northern Virginia, gave $1.5 million to George Mason University for an endowed chair in Islamic studies: see https://eagle.gmu.edu/newsroom/722/.
Read Paul Sperry’s article The Wahhabi Corridor, http://www.sperryfiles.com/corridor.shtml. Many Muslim organizations operate out of buildings on Grove Street, in Herndon, Virginian (IIIT is located at 500 Grove Street). That’s why I refer to Grove Street as AQINV – Al-Qaeda in Northern Virginia.
