My latest in PJ Media:
In yet another sign of the thoroughgoing corruption of American academia, the University of Denver’s Josef Korbel School of International Studies just co-sponsored a conference with a man who admitted to being a member of a jihad terror group, and an organization affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood, which is dedicated, according to a captured internal document, to “eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within, and sabotaging its miserable house.” But that is of no concern to the wise heads at the University of Denver; how could it be, when the Left dominates academia, and would like nothing better than to aid in “eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within”?
Co-sponsoring the conference with the Josef Korbel School of International Studies were the Center for Islam & Global Affairs (CIGA) and the Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated Global Coalition for Quds and Palestine in Turkey. The founder of CIGA and chief initiator of this conference is none other than Sami al-Arian, who pleaded guilty back in 2006 to a charge of “conspiracy to make or receive contributions of funds to or for the benefit of Palestinian Islamic Jihad, a Specially Designated Terrorist” organization. He was then deported from the United States, whereupon he went to Turkey and founded CIGA.
According to JNS, the conference denounced Israel as the “apartheid Jewish Zionist colonial state” and called for its eradication. The program, JNS reported, was “replete with Palestinian propaganda, revisionist history, and blatant anti-Semitism and anti-Israel vitriol.”
At the conference, Palestinian Islamic Jihad’s al-Arian denounced Israel in the hysterically false terms that are now becoming familiar in America thanks to the likes of Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib: “There is no doubt we are talking about a settler, colonialist movement. What we see here today is an attempt to depopulate the indigenous people, and bring in as many Jews from around the world and try to bring a system that is properly being identified now as apartheid. There is no doubt about this.”
Israel, al-Arian thundered, was a “racist movement,” a “Zionist onslaught” that was directed toward replacing the “indigenous people.” The solution? Israel’s total destruction: “the essence of the struggle should be to dismantle this structure.”
Among the American professors listed as participating were Joseph Massad of Columbia University, Lubna Qutami of UCLA, Ahlam Muhtaseb of California State University San Bernardino, and Rabab Abdulhadi of San Francisco State University, who once invited jihad terrorist airplane hijacker Leila Khaled to speak to her students.
The University of Denver can’t claim that it didn’t know what it was getting into. Al-Arian has been quite clear about his views for decades. Back in 1991, during a speech in Chicago, al-Arian screamed: “The Quran is our constitution. Jihad is our path … Victory to Islam… Death to Israel… Revolution… revolution till the victory.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

Former US President ,William Howard Taft had wisely said “Anti-Antisemitism is a noxious weed that should be cut out it has no place in America”

University of Denver Co-Sponsors Anti-Israel Conference With Admitted Member of Jihad Terror Group
………………..
We keep seeing more and more of this in academia. *Ugh*.
Note that even Fatah is not Islamic enough for this thug.
mortimer says
The Muslim Brotherhood to which Sami al-Arian adheres is Egypt’s version of the Nazi Party.
The fanatical Sami al-Arian is an apologist for terrorism and genocide. How can any university consider the solicitation of genocide a valid presentation to take place at their campus?
Where is the board of governors of the university?
The University of Denver has no excuse on this topic of SOLICITING GENOCIDE.

Read the documents under above ‘captured documents’ and scroll to the bottom of the Arabic writing to about page 18 English version. from the Shura council…..
in point 4. it says the jihad of Muslim Bros in N America is a settlement process to destroy Western cultures from the inside using people inside as well as Believers and to make Islam above all other religions. It goes on as to how. The Education system is one of the big hows. making alliances with other N Americans who are unsatisfied with their circumstances, like ANTIFA, BLM etc are another How to overturn.
OLD GUY says
You only have to follow the MONEY. Saudi Arabia and other muslim countries have been pouring millions of dollars into our American colleges and Universities. In return the university allows Islamic student unions and the hiring of pro-islamic professors who spread muslim/islamic propaganda to our children.
jule says
Yes this is true but Muslim Bros are very against Saudi and conspire to overthrow them as well as Western countries. Its a huge cancer with multitude of parts.
