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 […]
Muslim Prof Abandons LGBT Alliance
What Georgetown University Professor Jonathan Brown in 2017 wrote is “so out of date” and a “pointless article to read now,” he declared in a July 6 podcast concerning possible Muslim-LGBT alliances in Western countries. Brown, the Islamist former director of Georgetown’s Saudi-established Prince Alwaleed Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding (ACMCU), has belatedly realized how opposing […]
Georgetown, a Catholic university, holds panel on religion and the coronavirus, focuses on Ramadan, ignores Easter
Few people realize how severely America’s universities and colleges have degenerated. Georgetown University is a national disgrace, employing numerous apologists for jihad and professional dissemblers about the teachings of Islam that incite believers to commit acts of jihad violence. The millions it is alleged to have taken from Qatar may be a partial explanation for […]
Georgetown University’s Fake Islamic Pluralism
“The case for pluralism should be relatively easy to make in an Islamic context,” stated Indiana University Professor Asma Afsaruddin on March 5 at Georgetown University’s Copley Formal Lounge. She and other panelists made such unconvincing claims concerning Islam and pluralism during an event hosted by Georgetown’s Saudi-established Prince Alwaleed bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian […]
Georgetown’s Hamas-linked Bridge Initiative hosts prof who says US war on terror is a manifestation of Islamophobia
See? It’s as 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 Nazia Kazi, no resistance to the global jihad whatsoever is allowed, no matter how tepid, half-hearted, or fantasy-based. It’s all “Islamophobia.” “Islamophobia Permeates Foreign Policy, Speaker Says,” by […]
Georgetown University’s Hamas-linked Bridge Initiative wants to re-litigate trial of Hamas-linked charity
Few people realize how severely America’s universities and colleges have degenerated. “Hamas-linked ‘Bridge Initiative’ wants to re-litigate Holy Land Foundation trial,” by Kyle Shideler, Center for Security Policy, February 7, 2020: The Bridge Initiative, a project of the Alwaleed Bin Talal Center for Muslim Christian Understanding, continues to embarrass its host, Georgetown University, this time […]
Yahya Hendi, Or, Interfaith Healing with a Georgetown Imam (Part 1)
The story is here: Frederick [Maryland] Interfaith representatives are hoping a set of classes will help shine a positive light on Islam and the Muslim community. Of course. The Interfaithers of Frederick, Maryland are not in the business of dispassionately studying the texts and teachings of Islam, but rather of “shining a positive light” on […]
Michigan State Prof Claims Islam Is Not the Root of Islamic Terrorism
“If you want to identify people who are okay with suicide bombing, I can give you a list,” including Yusuf al-Qaradawi, Michigan State University Professor of Religious Studies and Director of Muslim Studies Mohammad Hassan Khalil told me at a September Georgetown University lecture. Khalil theorized before an audience of some thirty people at the […]
Georgetown, other universities accused of covering up millions taken from jihad-promoting Qatar
Georgetown University is a national disgrace, employing numerous apologists for jihad and professional dissemblers about the teachings of Islam that incite believers to commit acts of jihad violence. The millions it is alleged to have taken from Qatar may be a partial explanation for its steep decline from academic institution to Islamic dawah and propaganda […]
Sharia truth and the “Progressive Muslim” Feminist
As a “Muslim feminist scholar,” Williams College Assistant Professor of Religion Saadia Yacoob has a “very complicated relationship” with her Islamic faith, as her Duke University dissertation explains. This research, the basis for an April 3 presentation at Georgetown University’s Saudi-funded Prince Alwaleed bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding (ACMCU), reveals the chasm between her […]
Christian “Peacemakers” Slam Israel
Georgetown University neglects the fact that a 70-year old Israel has the only growing Christian population in a Middle East that has witnessed a centuries-long decline of Christianity in its birthplace under Islamic sharia oppression. This emerged from a filmed September 12 panel before about 90 listeners that pilloried Israel and praised Islam, co-hosted by […]
Saudi-funded Georgetown University’s Bridge Initiative claims “Allahu akbar” “co-opted by anti-Muslim activists”
In response to the Richard Dawkins “Allahu akbar” controversy, Saudi-funded Georgetown University’s “Islamophobia” propaganda mill, the Bridge Initiative, has claimed that the phrase “Allahu akbar” has been “co-opted by anti-Muslim activists”: The “factsheet” (in reality a deception sheet) that Bridge Initiative linked contains numerous false claims, including: “The phrase is ‘recited by Muslims and Arabic […]
Professor: Sharia Marriage is No Bed of Roses for Women
Contemporary Islamic apologists such as Georgetown University Professor John Esposito, his protégé Dahlia Mogahed, and political activist Linda Sarsour constantly whitewash sharia as benign and pro-women. In this context, Georgetown University law Professor Lama Abu-Odeh provides a refreshingly critical outlook on sharia and women, as shown by her June 21 discussion of sharia at Washington, […]
Jordan Denari Duffner in Islamic Wonderland (Part II)
Jordan Denari Duffner announces that “many Muslims describe Islam as a ‘religion of peace’” in her previously reviewed recent book Finding Jesus among Muslims: How Loving Islam Makes Me a Better Catholic. This ubiquitous distortion of Islam’s Arabic etymology sets the tone for a book whose uncritical regurgitation of shopworn Islamic apologetic myths belies the […]
Jordan Denari Duffner in Islamic Wonderland
“Despite the fact that they lived among Muslims — who are the vast majority of the population in Jordan — my Christian host family bought into these Christian TV channels’ negative portrayals of Islam,” notes Jordan Denari Duffner’s new book. Such passages unintentionally reveal in Finding Jesus among Muslims: How Loving Islam Makes Me a […]
Orlando Sentinel cites Robert Spencer, Saudi-funded Bridge Initiative starts defamation campaign
Paul Brinkmann of the Orlando Sentinel cited me in the story below about the motives of Orlando jihad mass murderer Omar Mateen, and he did so without the usual mainstream media defamation. That was too much for the Saudi-funded Bridge Initiative, which has partnered with a Muslim organization linked to Al Qaeda, Islamic Jihad and […]
Muslim Brotherhood-linked International Institute of Islamic Thought gave $750,000 to Georgetown University in 2015
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 […]
Georgetown University’s Qatar campus hosts lecture by former Palestinian Islamic Jihad leader
Al-Arian for years was a darling of the Leftist intelligentsia. In March 2002 Nicholas Kristof went to bat for the professor in the New York Times: “The point is not whether one agrees with Professor Al-Arian, a rumpled academic with a salt-and-pepper beard who is harshly critical of Israel (and also of repressive Arab countries) […]
Georgetown Prof: “Is Islam an Enemy of the West? It Does Seem Like Such a Ridiculous Question, Doesn’t It?”
“Is Islam an enemy of the West? It does seem like such a ridiculous question, doesn’t it?” asked Georgetown University professor Tamara Sonn on February 22 at its Saudi-funded Prince Alwaleed bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding (ACMCU). What seemed manifestly obvious to this Qatar-funded Hamad Bin Khalifa Al-Thani Professor in the History of Islam […]
