If Brandeis really wants to end “Islamophobia,” here is how they can accomplish it. They can call upon Muslim individuals and groups to:
1. Focus their indignation on Muslims committing violent acts in the name of Islam, not on non-Muslims reporting on those acts.
2. Renounce definitively, sincerely, honestly, and in deeds, not just in comforting words, not just “terrorism,” but any intention to replace Western constitutions (or the constitutions of any non-Muslim state) with Sharia even by peaceful means. In line with this, clarify what is meant by their condemnations of the killing of innocent people by stating unequivocally that non-Muslim civilians, including Israelis, are innocent people, teaching accordingly in mosques and Islamic schools, and behaving in accord with these new teachings.
3. Teach, again sincerely and honestly, in transparent and verifiable ways in mosques and Islamic schools, the imperative of Muslims coexisting peacefully as equals with non-Muslims on an indefinite basis, and act accordingly.
4. Begin comprehensive international programs in mosques all over the world to teach sincerely, and again transparently, against the ideas of violent jihad and Islamic supremacism.
5. Actively and honestly work with Western law enforcement officials to identify and apprehend jihadists within Western Muslim communities.
If Muslims did those five things, voila! “Islamophobia” would vanish! But it ain’t gonna happen.
“University Ethics Center announces Bahalim Student Fund for projects countering Islamophobia in the US,” by Ece Esikara, The Justice, October 2, 2018:
The International Center for Ethics, Justice and Public Life and the Brandeis Chaplaincy recently announced the creation of the Bahalim Student Fund, a fund to give the Brandeis community an opportunity to fight Islamophobia and promote Islamic values.
The Bahalim Student Fund was made possible by a donation from Brandeis alumnus Ammad Bahalim ’04. The fund is designed to “support student-led public events intended to combat Islamophobia and promote an understanding of Islam as a tradition of learning and critical thinking,” according to the description of the fund released by the Center.
The committee is looking for proposals that will have “a broad appeal to students on campus.” This could include “exciting formats” or “unexpected collaborations among groups of students, clubs and departments,” Leigh Swigart, the director of programs in International Justice and Society at the Ethics Center, said in an interview with the Justice, .. “It does not have to be a talk, it doesn’t have to be a film. It could be a comedian who uses an appealing and insightful way of getting at issues that are very important, or a music that is unexpected or a theater production.”
The fund offers up to $5,000 for the winning proposal, but a great proposal could justify a higher amount, according to Swigart.
Swigart also explained that the fund was the result of a one-time contribution, unless the donor chooses to contribute again in the future. According to Swigart, Bahalim is an alumnus with Pakistani heritage. Bahalim initially donated money to the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation, a philanthropic organization that fights inequity and is a partner and funder of the University. Bahalim also has connections with Marci McPhee, the Center’s previous director. In the end, Gates foundation multiplied the money, and partial control of the donation fell into the Center’s lap.
In discussion with the new Muslim chaplain, Muhammad Xhemali, the Center decided to open the fund up to not only Muslim students, but to anybody who would like to propose programming. Swigart thinks that the fund “will be a great way to get some excitement and collaboration across different sectors of campus and give students the opportunity to think imaginatively about how to use such a fund.”
In the same interview, Swigart said she assumes that Bahalim created the fund, because “he is responding to the rising climate of Islamophobia and thinking that having something on campus is a good place to start knowing that there are number of Muslim students on campus.” She explained that the language of the proposal is broad, giving the Center and the University considerable freedom in applying it to the community. She also said that the fund’s proposal language emphasizes how Islam exists in United States, not elsewhere….
Marvin says
Clearly they have no clue about the Koran. There is no such thing as this phobia thing they are talking about. The Koran tells Muslims to kill non Muslims so people have a right to be afraid.
Norger says
This is the same (Jewish founded) university that caved in Muslim students’ demands and withdrew a commencement speaking invitation to Ayan Hirsi Ali a few years ago. A university that has as its motto, “truth unto its innermost parts.” Unless, of course, one wants an open, honest, “truthful” discussion about Islam, in which case the truth must be silenced.
Mac-101 says
Look at George Town, is it NOT a Catholic founded University, yet they can’t kiss the Muslim butt enough at the very cost of their supposed religious beliefs! Brandies and George Town are as fake in their beliefs as is the Pope. All Worship Satan!
.
PS: Was it George Town who covered all the crucifixes when Obama came there so as to NOT offend him?
Wellington says
Mac-101: Georgetown is a Catholic-founded university, the oldest in America, though its official date of 1788 or 1789 for the founding actually does it a discredit since its true origins lie with 17th-century Maryland, founded by the Lords Baltimore as a safe haven for English Catholics persecuted by English Protestants—and in particular, respecting said university, with the Carroll family.
But this aside, your comment about Georgetown and Brandeis worshiping Satan is, to put it mildly, not helpful. To put it forcefully, you’re an effing nut to assert this. At the very least I hope you know that Brandeis is Jewish-based and not Catholic-based.
Yes, both universities are now dominated by leftists, but to invoke the “Satan route” to account for this sad development is, to put it mildly, inaccurate. To put it forcefully, profoundly unhelpful to the anti-jihad cause precisely because it is indicative of whack-job “thinking.”
You won’t get this. No, this will all go over your head. But for the sake of truth I felt compelled to state all this nonetheless. For the record and all that.
Mac-101 says
That is what I was sayin. Brandies is as Jewish as it gits and they consistently support Islam whereas George Town is Catholic and they also took the 10 Mill from the Oil Ticks and who knows how much more and are anti-Christian now just as is the Pope!
.
So the most educated intelligent Jews and Catholics in the USA can’t figure out that the Muslims want to kill ALL the Jews and break ALL the Crosses?
.
They are demonically possessed or Neo Bolsheviks which are Demonically possessed and will kill us ALL once THEY gain total control of THEIR NWO.
.
If one can NOT see that the Globalist/Deep State has made a mockery of our Political and Judiciary System and corrupted them both with the way THEY have dealt with Trump and now Kavanaugh, I’d say THEY are demonically possessed also as foretold in the End Times.
.
So I do NOT buy these Elites are just Ignorant and do NOT understand Islam. THEY surely do. The question is WHY THEY support Islam the way THEY do?
.
PS: Did George Town cover Jesus on the cross with a sheet and also sheeted the Blessed Virgin Mary when Obama visited?
.
StellaSaidSo says
@ Mac
You are right, Mac, the globalist/deep state fiends have made a mockery of the political and judiciary systems in the US. But it’s all in a good cause, as far as they’re concerned. America must first be destroyed if it is to be rebuilt to their specifications.
gravenimage says
Agreed, Wellington.
Mac-101 says
Stella. I have yet to read a plausible answer to why the Elites empower Islam, many of which are the very people the Muslims wish to kill first. So I just gotta chalk it up to Demonic Possession and the lead up to the End Times.
.
I knew enough about Islam when I was 13 and the threat they are to Western Civilization over 50 years ago than these sick demented Clowns do now. It can NOT be that I was so smart then or that NOW THEY are so stupid. Some other factors are at work.
.
I am NOT ashamed to say that Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior and that I believe in the Holy Bible and the last Book of Revelation!
.
I will continue to attempt to bear my witness until I am silenced.
gravenimage says
StellaSaidSo, the other day you were taking me to task for being critical of someone who said that anyone mentioning Satan should be deprived of their freedom in a psychiatric institution:
Did you change your mind?
I hope so. Like Wellington, I don’t think that characterizing dhimmis as demonically possessed is particularly helpful; but even less do I believe that they should be imprisoned for so opining.
Mac-101 says
Graven Image: The same Libs who support Islam also support the right of a grown man who says he thinks he is a girl to be able to go into the Girl’s shower/rest room with his junk swingin. That is SICK with or without any religion. You want a grown man in your daughters/granddaughters shower room? If this is NOT demonic possessed I do NOT know what is!
.
Meanwhile they ignore ALL the different ways Muslim murder gays! And these people are holding the highest positions in our most prestigious Universities! Pure Sick!
.
As a side note look up WikiLeaks Podesta’s emails. If “Spirit Cooking” ain’t sick and Satanic I do NOT know what is! The there is the little matter on all those special code words!
.
I will end this with reports that a replica of the Arch of Baal was supposedly erected in DC around the Capital just prior to Kavanaghs hearings. Need I say how many babies have been murdered for Baal/Satan in the USA and this battle over Kavanaugh is ALL about Abortion for the Left!

If you like antiquities you can look up Temple of Zeus/Berlin,Hitler, Stalin, Moscow, Yeltsin back to Berlin/Mock up Obama’s 1st Democrat primary acceptance speech/Pillar of Victoria, Obama’s Berlin visit!

Hi, Mac. I definitely consider this “political correctness” to be terribly harmful; but most of these people are clueless idiots and virtue signalling, not possessed by demons.
I have a lot of neighbors like this, in fact.

@ gravenimage
Once again, you misrepresent me. Your 11.42pm Oct 2 is an outright lie.
And, once again, you reveal your ignorance. ‘Demonic possession’ and Satanism are not the same thing. Satanism exists. ‘Demonic possession’ is how some Christians explain its existence. Mac is right. There is something more sinister than mere dhimmitude afoot.
StellaSaidSo says
@ Mac
You are on the money regarding the role of the elites in foisting Islam upon the West. As to WHY they are doing this, I suggest you look into the history of the UN, which was created in order to implement One World government. Its true purpose was concealed from the public thru PR promoting its ‘good deeds’, but the cat is out of the bag now, largely thru the efforts of researchers who have joined the evil dots.
You should also become acquainted with the Kalergi Plan, devised in the 1920s by Richard von Coudenhove-Kalergi with the purpose of interbreeding white Europeans out of existence (so much for ‘diversity’). The destruction of national and racial/ethnic identity is a necessary precondition to establishing a single, central, totalitarian govt. The UN Agenda 21 initiative – cloaked in feel-good buzz-words like ‘sustainable development’ – is also designed to facilitate the ultimate goal of total control of the many by the few.
You might also look up the Hegelian Dialectic, aka the ‘Problem – Reaction – Solution’ dynamic. The so-called ‘migrant crisis’ was deliberately engineered by the globalist elite in order to create chaos. Provoked long enough, people will eventually demand a solution. And – hey presto! – the answer is right there. Before we know it, we have traded our liberty for ‘security’, and are hurtling toward a police state.
The connection between globalism and Satanism is real, and dates back centuries. As a heathen, I don’t go along with the idea of ‘demonic possession’, but I understand that, for many people, it serves an explanatory function.
Over the past several years I have spent considerable time educating people about the related threats of Islam and NWO globalism. While the penny drops for most people, once given basic information and a few key words to look up, there are some who will remain under their rocks until both they and their rocks are bulldozed away.
Mac-101 says
Stella, I am familiar with all you wrote about. As you said it goes back centuries. It gained speed with the Illuminati who I believe were most likely responsible for many of the events that unfolded in the 18th and early 19th Century. THEY most likely go ALL the way back to Babylon. We know what Globalist organizations THEY use now to spread their filth. We may NOT know who THEY are now, but we know THEM by their Evil works.
.
Let me say that I have had personal experiences after I died twice in 2010 that ensured me that there is a G-d and that Jesus Christ is his son and the Holy Ghost is here to guide us. All part of G-d, which we ALL are, part of HIS creation.
.
Long before that, I have felt the presence of extreme Evil at least half a dozen times. Evil is very real and ALL around us. Fortunately where there is Evil there is Goodness, not nearly enough though.
.
Western Civilization and our Freedom and way of Life is due to Christian Men and Women reading the Word of G-d and attempting to live a Christ like life startin really seriously in 18th century with the advent of the printing Press, Protestant Reformation and the ability of the people to read.
.
Unfortunately it is impossible to live such a perfect life since the only Perfect Person was Crucified for our sins so we may be Forgiven. But society strivin to live Christ -Like brought us where we are today. The last 50 years THEY have been chippin at society removing G-d and destroyin the family , the main goals of Satan, and have been very successfully.
.
Islam is completely opposite of Jesus’ teachin and is straight from Satan. How else can you explain it and still have 1.5 Billion people worship such an Evil, Bloodthirsty and Deceitful god? Even the Atheist Libs can NOT exalt it high enough in the West, even though it is against almost ALL what Libs believe in.
.
Please give me your opinion on the present use of the Arch of Baal and the Temple of Zeus (Satan) where Jesus’s friend was sacrificed. Perhaps also please humor me on the CONTENTS of Podesta’s emails.

How is this a lie? StellaSaidSo did indeed agree with a poster who opined that those talking about Satan should lose their freedom. I disagreed.
I try to link to stories I refer to–but it has become harder to find stories on Jihad Watch. Much as I love JW, it does not have a robust internal search engine. This had not used to be a serious problem, since it was easy to Google references and find these stories. Now since Google has stopped supporting JW search results, even key words seldom work–one often has to have the entire title word for word to find it.
But if I am able to find this post, I will definitely link to it.

Where to start? The poster who said that those referring to Satan should be locked up was not talking about Satanism–he was replying to a Christian poster who referred to Satan.
Of course Satanism exists–there is a silly “Church of Satan” in San Jose. I find this unpleasant. but they are not actually much of a danger.
But no–I don’t believe that everyone who is in denial about the threat of Islam to be possessed by demons.
For one thing, I believe that it is possible to educate those in denial about Islam–why even try if we believe that they are all possessed by demons?
In the same way, there were those in denial about the threat of Fascism eighty years ago–I am very glad that those like Churchill did not give up on spreading the word.
It is the same now–Robert Spencer has given up trying to get to the word out, and I am glad of it.
Mac-101 says
Graven: I will just have to agree to disagree with you. For a society to allow their Mothers, daughters and young boys to be raped, assembly areas to be bombed and to be randomly killed just to be ‘Tolerant” is beyond me.
.
I would assume other forces MUST be at work. Studies have shown the more educated these idiots are, the more ignorant they are to the threat Islam is to the very fabric And existence of Western Civilization!
gravenimage says
Mac, most people I talk to are in denial over Muslim rape–they don’t believe that Muslims rape any more often than Western men do, and have no idea that Islam itself teaches the rape of Infidels–they think I must be mistaken. One person assumed I was reading “Islamophobic” propaganda, rather than the texts of Islam.
Same with terrorism–I have spoken to people who actually believe that terrorism is as common with Infidels as with Muslims. One problem is that most of these people know so little about this–I have spoken with people who consider themselves well informed who don’t know that there have been Jihad terror attacks here in the US since 9/11, and who have no idea at all what is going on in Europe.
One person thought that Orlando was perpetrated by a white right-wing gun nut, and had no idea this was a Muslim.
Really, the denial runs very deep, Mac.

I have never advocated that Satanists should ‘lose their freedom’. I have warned that serious adherents (as distinct from dabblers) are dangerous. When crimes are committed, whatever the motivation, of course the offender should forfeit his/her freedom. And crimes ARE being committed in the name of ‘Satan’.
Nor did I claim that ANYONE is ‘possessed by demons’. If you have not figured this out from my posts, you really do have cognitive issues.
Mac-101 says
Graven, I’ll just have to take your word for it. Here in KY with the uneducated lower classes I hang with, ALL know what a threat Islam is to ALL of us. Perhaps you live on one of the Coasts and the people there are way too smart for their own good. No LOL!

Mac, I am glad that you are familiar with the topics raised in my 3:51am. It is a pity that there are some here who not only know nothing of these matters, but who insult those who do, in an attempt to discredit us. It is ironic that the spectacularly ignorant gravenimage so often accuses others of ‘wilful ignorance’.
I agree entirely that Western Civilisation owes a great debt to Christianity, and I can assure you that one does not need to be a believing Christian to appreciate this, and to be prepared to step up and defend the Western inheritance. I also agree that ‘Evil is real and all around us’, but I attribute it to human failings at the extremity (eg psychopathy) rather than to ‘demonic possession’. Whatever its origin, and however it is manifested, evil must nevertheless be confronted. The West has been far too tolerant, and far too susceptible to destructive cultural influences.
Mac-101 says
Stella, As long as a Religion or a person follows the Golden Rule then it really doesn’t matter to me what they want to believe. However to allow people to emigrate to our country who believe that the Constitution needs overthrown and the World Wide Caliphate needs established with Sharia Law the law of the land is ridiculous. It is unConstitutional and these people need deported, even if born here if they believe it!

If you spent as much time addressing the gaps in your knowledge as you do in attacking those who expose your ignorance, you might begin to contribute something more to JW than the same fatuous remarks day in, day out.

Exactly right, Mac. The Golden Rule is the Gold Standard. And there is no Golden Rule in Islam, which is precisely where the problem starts, and why there is no solution except separate ‘homelands’. Our ancestors knew that Islam is incompatible with the Judaeo-Christian tradition. But our ‘leaders’ think they know better.
MK Ultra and its variants are evil. Any survivor who speaks out needs to be taken seriously, however weird their story sounds.

No–opposing the horrors of Islam is *not* fatuous, whatever StellaSaidSo may believe. I think it is ultimately very important.
And my disagreeing with her on conspiracy theories does not mean that I have gaps in my knowledge. I disagree with her that Infidels should be assassinating politicians and crucifying people, as well.
gravenimage says
Oh–after saying that I was a “Left Coast liberal” for opposing crucifixion–as though this was something Conservatives do!–StellaSaidSo did appear to change her mind. Well, about crucifixion, at any rate. I’m glad to see it, and thought I should make note of it here.

Ah! I found the initial exchange about locking people up in psychiatric institutions if they mention Satan:
Rev. G says
islam worships Satan, and Christ is known to have rebuked Satan. islam has no place in the civilized world.
eddie says
A statement straight out of the Dark Ages. I live in Britain, where anyone using the word Satan in the 21st century would probably end up in a psychiatric unit.
gravenimage says
Given Britain’s current crushing of freedom of speech, grimly this should not surprise.
Whether one literally believes in Satan or not is not the point; that the vile “eddie” believes that one should lose their freedom for pointing out how vicious Islam is *is*. *Ugh*.
StellaSaidSo says
@gravenimage
Where did eddie say that ‘one should lose their freedom for pointing out how vicious Islam is’? To my knowledge, eddie has said no such thing, and in fact has condemned Islam.
It seems to me that in the post to which you responded, eddie simply observed that in UK so few people believe in ‘Satan’ that anyone who did so might be regarded as a little crazy. The same would doubtless apply in many other places.
gravenimage says
“eddie” said that anyone referring to “Satan”–in this case in the condemnation of Islam–would “probably end up in a psychiatric unit”.
You may, of course, agree with “eddie” that people should be locked up if they refer to concepts some may disagree with. Ending up in a psychiatric unit is indeed a loss of freedom, though–claiming otherwise–with all respect–makes no sense.

gravenimage says
No, standing against Jihad–and horrors like “Honor Killing”–is *not* fatuous. Nor is opposing calls for crucifixion–which StellaSaidSo clearly did support before backpedaling–or locking people up in psychiatric institutions for assuming the existence of evil.
There is no mischaracterization–the comments in question are posted above in this thread.
Taking a stance against such barbarism is not ignorant–it does not indicate gaps in knowledge. Just the opposite, really.

Years ago, I used to coach a university debating team. Someone with your level of cognitive dysfunction would not qualify to make the tea, never mind the team.
gravenimage says
StellaSaidSo’s saying she would not allow someone to debate as a point of argument should not surprise, given her selective–at best–support for freedom of speech.
And note that she is unable to point to any instance of supposed cognitive dysfunction on my part–so this is not an argument, but rather just a slur.
StellaSaidSo says
@ gravenimage
For examples of your cognitive dysfunction, one is spoilt for choice. I am not the only poster here who has called you out for misunderstanding, or mischaracterising, their posts. It is a regular occurrence.
Disqualifying someone from a position on the basis of their lack of ability does not constitute a violation of their freedom of speech, as you absurdly claim..
It is in defence of freedom of speech (and of plain old good manners) that I first drew your attention to your habit of attacking personally those posters whose views you don’t like. I note that you have recently been quite civil to christianblood, who, apparently, is no longer the ‘vile’ or the ‘appalling’ christianblood. This is indeed progress.
gravenimage says
No, of course no one is guaranteed any position–I just found it telling that StellaSaidSo’s first impulse when unable to address any of my points was that I should not be allowed to debate.
And StellaSaidSo saying she is “spoiled for choice” in citing my supposed cognitive dissonance is just an insult–note that she *still* is unable to point to any instance.
As for christianblood, I have always replied respectfully to him on the increasingly rare occasions that he actually says something critical of Jihad.
But I actually *do* consider his support for Iran and Hizb’allah to be appalling and vile–no Anti-Jihadist should have to apologize for this.
And StellaSaidSo has herself repeatedly slandered actual Anti-Jihadists like Wellington and myself–but she has been quite put out over anyone replying critically to apologists for Jihad savagery.
I think I have said everything that need be said here–unless there are any more particularly outrageous posts on this thread, I will probably leave things here.
Walter Sieruk says
First, it needs to be made clear that the people who are aware of the many things that are wrong and dangerous about Islam don’t then really have a case of “Islamophobia.” What they actually have in their good understanding as well as very informed knowledge about the actual essence of Islam is better termed Islamorealism.”
Second, on the topic of the founder and prophet of Islam, Muhammad, as well as the subject of Islamic terrorism, the scholar and author , Robert Spencer ,in this book which has the title of THE HISTORY OF JIHAD FROM MUHAMMAD TO ISIS. In the book on page 371 the reader is informed that “Muhammad is supposed to have said ‘I have been made victorious through terror.’ In the early twenty-first century, he is being proven correct. As the fourteen-hundred –year Islamic jihad against the free world continues to advance…”
Furthermore, as the violent and murders jihadists continue their Islamic terror attacks against many Western cities as New York City,London, Manchester, Barcelona, Stockholm, Brussels, Stockholm, ,Paris Nice, Berlin, Madrid and so forth. Those jihad-minded Muslim terrorists who engage in those vicious Islamic terror attacks cannot be and will not be reasoned with. They will not respond to either logic or reason. They aren’t interested, at all, in reason or logic. So they have to be dealt with by a strong force of might. Either by the police or the military. For to even try to reason with a jihad-minded Muslim terrorist is just as much an act of futility as trying to teach algebra to a rabbit.
Norger says
To your first point, an “Islamophobe” is simply a non-Muslim (or more accurately a filthy kuffar) who knows more about Islam than he’s supposed to.
jihad3tracker says
THERE IS A COMMENT SECTION AT THE BOTTOM OF THAT ITEM ROBERT CITES.

Again, many naive goodies will not wake up, until terror has started with them.

Incredible irresponsible behaviour of so called “responsable persons” of the University.
Westman says
I’ve noticed that all of the BDS and “Islamophobe” persecutors are but a minority on campus; raising enough noise and mob action to get media coverage while the majority ignores them and attends to their own responsibilities and classwork.
It’s doubtful the libs could even get organized without faculty direction. When they move on in a few years the same faculty will have raised a new batch of ingrates. Now that they are being funded, which members of the faculty will have a sudden income improvement and how much more unaccounted university resources will flow into this indoctrination effort?

But first let us discuss it…or is that just being “islamophobic”?
Norger says
That’s exactly how twisted this ”Islamophobe”nonsense has become. A non-Muslim who points to the fact that authoritative Islamic scriptures are unambiguously hateful, misogynistic, genocidal etc. or worse yet, has the audacity to actually quote what these scriptures themselves say is a “hater” or an “Islamophobe.” Not that the theology is hateful, that the non–believer who does nothing more than accurately cite the original Islamic sources is “hateful.” Most remarkable of all is just how easily so many people swallow this “Islamophobia” nonsense.
And to answer your rhetorical question, in 2018, any critical examination of the theological underpinnings of the most virulent Jew hatred in today’s world is simply not considered acceptable to be discussed at Brandeis and other alleged “universities.”

“…intended to combat Islamophobia and promote an understanding of Islam as a tradition of learning and critical thinking“
Islam is the antithesis of critical thinking. The slaves of Allah aren’t supposed to question or challenge the Qur’an, etc. I have a feeling it’s the same OIC baloney where they attribute inventions or Greek philosophies and math as well as Persians’ math, geography, etc. None of that has to do with Islam any more or less than the Gutenberg Press has anything to do with Christianity. I guess Islam is so desperate to bolster itself up to a pedestal that is easily knocked down. If Muslims learned or used critical thinking they wouldn’t be saying the Qur’an is perfect, they would see all the contradictions, and so on. A lot of them wouldn’t be repeating “there’s science in the Quran,” which there isn’t.
This is more of the OIC/UN nonsense. People have Islamonausea. I think many understand this but are too PC to say. Students have a lot to study and the “combatting Islamophobia” is for proselytizing or da’wa aside from trying to soften people’s minds to the never-ending goal of Islam dominating and Allah’s law in place.
Muslims need to back off not keep pushing Islam around and whining. No other immigrants act like this. They will not get respect doing as they are doing. People are tired of hearing about Islam and hijabs and complaining.
Steve's nephew says
If something is atrociously wrong, a free-thinking person should criticize it. If something is atrociously wrong and you accept it, you have allowed yourself to be brainwashed. The Bible states: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” This a commandment from God the Creator. Anything that is contrary to that is atrociously wrong.

Brandeis University Ethics Center announces student fund for projects to counter “Islamophobia”
……………..
Ludicrous–anyone with any sense fears the horrors of Islam.

>> promote an understanding of Islam as a tradition of learning and critical thinking
Now that’s just plain hilarious!
Hugh Fitzgerald says
What do the members of the Brandeis administration and of its faculty know about Islam? And how many realize that the tendentious word “Islamophobia” is used to shut down well-formed islamocritics, and ought not be endorsed, as is happening here. A Pakistani Muslim graduate gives some money, insists on it being used in a way that can only prevent intelligent discussion of Islam — how is this different from the oil company that gives money to a college to support “research” to undermine claims of global warming?
In any case, Brandeis can call this new center the Aafia Siddiqui Center for the Study of Islamophobia, after the Al-Qaeda supporter who received her doctorate at Brandeis.
Perhaps,among Brandeis alumni, there are some both deep-pocketed and self-educated about Islam, who will let the college’s fundraisers know that they have no intention of contributing to Brandeis, given both its shabby treatment, in the past, of Ayaan Hirsi Ali and its acceptance of the Bahalim money to create “projects” to promote Islam.

Good post, Hugh.
UNCLE VLADDI says
Those five points are impossible to teach in regards to islam, simply because the Qur’an teaches the exact opposite!
Vicky says
I wonder how much islamic Saudi money it took to sway them to promote Islam, the world’s most lethal and cruel religion. To label defenders of humanity who dare speak against islam’s savage brutality, as islamaphobes. Funding a project implementing ways to punish naysayers.
Our country is merging with islam as it gradually overtakes us completely, as that is, and always has been, it’s nature.
John Lloyd Scharf says
Do we want to promote the values of Muhammad, who made the robbery, rape, torture, blackmail, and murder of unarmed men, men, women, and children a sacrament? How about we have them march around in brownshirts yelling “Sieg Heil” while promoting another Holocaust, TOO?
