In this final part we will look a little further into Considine’s Fantasy Islam, and then my concluding remarks. Muhammad did not condemn Christians to hellfire or call them inferior On p. 113 Considine wrote: …Muhammad did not condemn Christians to the eternal hellfire. Nor did the Prophet think that Christians are inferior people who […]
The Fantasy Islam of Rice University’s Craig Considine (Part 2)
Let’s continue examining the creativity of Considine’s Fantasy Islam. Muhammad’s Farewell Sermon On p. 61 Considine lauded Muhammad’s Farewell Sermon as an example of Muhammad’s belief in racial equality: The Farewell Sermon (see Appendix 2) of Muhammad…is another noteworthy manifestation of the Prophet’s stance on anti-racism. He stated in the sermon: “…a white person has […]
The Fantasy Islam of Rice University’s Craig Considine (Part 1)
Dr. Craig Considine is a Lecturer in the Department of Sociology at Rice University, a private university in Houston, Texas. According to the university’s website, it “is ranked among the nation’s top 20 universities by U.S. News & World Report.”[1] In July 2020 Considine’s new book, The Humanity of Muhammad: A Christian View, was published. […]
Taxpayer-Funded Islamic Terrorists Sent Millions to US Colleges
Open question: Is there any enemy nation or power, from Communist China to Qatar, that isn’t buying up academia? It’s one thing when wealthy enemy nations like China and Qatar do it, but the whole thing reaches a new level of obscene absurdity when it’s a terrorist entity that we fund with our tax dollars […]
California: ISIS Jihadi Stabs Four in University Classroom, University Blames Toxic Masculinity
My latest in PJ Media: The FBI last Wednesday released new details about the case of Faisal Mohammad, who in November 2015, while he was a freshman at the University of California, Merced, entered a classroom and stabbed four people. It was already known back at the time of the attack that young Mohammad was […]
California Jihadi Planned to Kill People, Then Read Qur’an Until Police Arrived
Not that this has anything to do with Islam. My latest in FrontPage: Yet another blow to the establishment media narrative came Wednesday. The Associated Press reported that Faisal Mohammad, who in 2015 stabbed four people in a classroom at the University of California, Merced, where he was a freshman, “planned to praise Allah while […]
Georgetown Features Academic Who Likens Austrian Counter-Terror Measures to Kristallnacht
My latest in PJ Media: In the wake of the recent jihad attack in Vienna, Austrian authorities are cracking down on Muslim organizations that have been discovered to be exhorting or approving of jihad terror activity – and Georgetown University’s Hamas-linked Bridge Initiative is not happy. On Thursday, it published a weepy self-pitying piece entitled […]
Georgetown’s Bridge Initiative features Muslim academic who likens Austrian counterterror measures to Kristallnacht
See? It’s as I’ve been pointing out for years: for the Hamas-linked Bridge Initiative, a program of the Saudis’ bought-and-paid-for Georgetown University, and for highly politicized “academics” such as Farid Hafez, no resistance to the global jihad whatsoever is allowed, no matter how tepid, half-hearted, or fantasy-based. It’s all “Islamophobia.” Meanwhile, this likening of counterterror […]
Northeastern University: Students for Justice in Palestine promotes jihad terror group
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) is nominally a Communist group, but it is wholly tied in to the “Palestinian” jihad. Would Northeastern University ever allow the promotion of an organization dedicated to opposing jihad violence and Sharia oppression? Come on, man! “SJP at Northeastern University Promotes US-Designated Terrorist Group,” by Jackson […]
California: Muslim stabbed four ‘in the name of Allah,’ planned to read Qur’an until cops arrived, then shoot them
The Qur’an? Didn’t Faisal Mohammad know that, as Pope Francis has told us, “authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence”? Despite the fact that Mohammad “was found to have an image of the ISIS flag, a handwritten manifesto with instructions on how to behead someone, and […]
Khaled Elgindy’s Virtual Palestinian Reality
Middle East Institute (MEI) Senior Fellow Khaled Elgindy, a previously discussed go-to establishment policy wonk for all issues Palestinian, has tweeted that Jerusalem’s Old City is Israeli “occupied territory.” His absurd claim that Jews could ever “occupy” their historic capital of Jerusalem is just one piece of nonsense that he has broadcast online, further proof […]
Khaled Elgindy: ‘Palestine’s’ Man in the Establishment
Middle East Institute (MEI) Senior Fellow Khaled Elgindy is among the most esteemed advocates of the Palestinian cause in American policymaking and academic circles. Yet behind the veneer of mainstream respectability of this prominent figure in the Democratic Party’s increasingly leftist base lies slick yet shocking apologetics for Palestinian radicalism. During the Democratic Party 2020 […]
Muslim academic tries to refute Robert Spencer’s ‘History of Jihad,’ fails miserably
Jihad Watch reader Mark has alerted me to an academic review of my book The History of Jihad: From Muhammad to ISIS by one Ahmed Achrati, who says that he “graduated from Law School in Algeria and received an LL.M from the School of Law at NYU, and a Ph.D. in International Relations from the […]
US universities fail to report $6,500,000,000 in foreign gifts, including money from Saudi Arabia and Qatar
Why are American colleges and universities radioactive sinkholes of pro-jihad, anti-American propaganda? Here are six and a half billion reasons why. “Investigation Prompts Schools to Report $6.5 Billion in Undisclosed Foreign Gifts and Contracts,” by Ivan Pentchoukov, Epoch Times, October 20, 2020: NEW YORK—American Universities failed to report $6.5 billion in foreign gifts and contracts, […]
‘Islamophobia’ researcher: Because China represses Uighurs, ‘counterterror narrative’ must be ‘dismantled’
Mobashra Tazamal is “a researcher on Islamophobia at The Bridge Initiative at Georgetown University.” Her article here illustrates yet again something that I’ve been pointing out for years: for the Hamas-linked Bridge Initiative, a program of the bought-and-paid-for Georgetown University, and for establishment academics such as Mobashra Tazamal, no resistance to the global jihad whatsoever […]
UK: Muslim student enraged after being given ham sandwich during self-isolation
The principle is always and everywhere the same: in Muslim countries, one must conform one’s behavior to Islamic sensibilities. And in non-Muslim countries, one must conform one’s behavior to Islamic sensibilities. It’s noteworthy that the London Economic thought this was news at all. If a Christian student at the University of Edinburgh were dissatisfied with […]
Want to Be Rich, Powerful, and Influential Today? Play the Victim.
My latest in PJ Media: Has there ever been another time in history when the powerful, moneyed, cosseted elites achieved and maintained that elite status by claiming to be despised, discriminated against and marginalized? The latest example of this fetishization of outcast status came from Yale University’s Council on Middle East Studies last Thursday, when […]
University of Toronto Law School Under Fire for ‘Rescinding’ Job Offer to Israel-Hating Academic
At the University of Toronto, acting on their own without consulting the Dean, several faculty members of a search committee did not only recommend a candidate for the job of director of the school’s International Human Rights Program – which was their prerogative – but did what they had no authority to do: they offered […]
An Israel-Hating Academic’s Obsession
At the University of Toronto Law School, a faculty committee recommended that Valentina Azarova be hired as the director of the school’s International Human Rights Program. The Dean of the Law School, Edward Iacobucci, disagreed with the committee’s recommendation and did not make the offer. That has led to a great contretemps, with the Dean […]
Muslim CUNY Law student threatens to set man wearing IDF sweatshirt on fire
What have CUNY authorities done about this case? Or in the light of the fact that Nerdeen Kiswani’s views largely align with theirs, have they done nothing? College and university campuses have become increasingly inhospitable spaces for Jewish and pro-Israel students. Horrific – a student at @CUNY, Nerdeen Kiswani, threatens to set on fire a […]
