In the 1930s, the universities were the first German institutions to capitulate to Adolf Hitler. Martin Heidegger, Germany’s greatest 20th century philosopher and the intellectual idol of American academics hailed the advent of the Third Reich from the rectorship of Freiburg University. Fascism was an idea so messianic in its conception, so elitist in its attitudes and so anti-capitalist in its social philosophy that intellectuals found it irresistible.

In England in the 1930s, while Germany rearmed and began annexing territory in the heart of Europe, the Oxford Union resolved “not to defend King and country” against the growing fascist threat. The pacificism of the progressive left and the Tory right added up to an appeasement of Hitler that protected him when he was still weak and testing the limits of Western resolve. The consequence was World War II and 70 million deaths before he was stopped.

The lessons of history are not readily learned and the past, as a result, is slated for an endless revival. Plus ca change plus c’est la meme chose. The seeds of the contemporary opposition to the War on Terror were sown in the 1960s in the movement to oppose the Communist aggression in Vietnam. Once again the universities and the intellectual culture provided the most dependable support in the West for the totalitarian agendas of the Communist bloc. The withdrawal of American aid to the anti-Communist forces in Cambodia and Vietnam in 1975 (long after American forces had been removed) resulted in the slaughter of two and a half million peasants in Indo-China at the hands of the Communist victors. The blood of these innocents would not have been shed without the aid the Communists received from their supporters and appeasers in the anti-Vietnam movement in the West.

Now we are engaged in a new war with a totalitarian enemy. Radcial Islam despises capitalism and its democracies in the West. And once again, totalitarianism finds its most dependable allies on college faculties. This time, the enemy does not offer lofty visions of utopia nor rallying cries of “self-determination,” nor a promise to revenge past national grievances. The jihadists of Radical Islam simply offer unmitigated hatred of the “Great Satan,” United States. For the academic left, that is enough. “The enemy of my enemy is my friend” is a sufficient logic to cement the alliance.

On university campuses across the country, tenured radicals teach their students that “one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter,” and that America is “the world’s greatest terrorist state.” The Middle Eastern Studies Association and more than 200 “Peace Studies” programs share the view that our terrorist enemies, however regrettable their public relations sense are in fact the voice of the world’s “oppressed” and that by challenging the United States they are advancing the cause of “social justice.”[1] ([1] For the views of one influential radical professor see Peter Collier and David Horowitz, The Anti-Chomsky Reader, Encounter Books 2004) Nor is the activity of these faculty radicals confined to academic theory. On every major American campus, radical professors are busily organizing anti-American “teach-ins” and demonstrations against the war, and providing their students with academic credit for joining the radical cause.

September 11, 2001, is burned into the nation’s memory as a day of infamy and terror. Yet within weeks of this horror, protests were organized on more than 150 American college campuses opposing an American military response in advance. Columbia University Marxist Eric Foner, a past president of both the American Historical Association and the Organization of American Historians, declared, “I’m not sure which is more frightening: the horror that engulfed New York City or the apocalyptic rhetoric emanating daily from the White House.” As President Bush vowed to depose the totalitarian theocracy that had given al-Qaeda a military base of operations and bring the terrorists to justice, professors denounced America as “the greatest terrorist state;” lecturers at the City University of New York condemned “American imperialism” as the root cause of the attack; and Brown University academics chanted, “one, two, three, four, we don’t want a racist war!”[2] (For these citations see David Horowitz, Unholy Alliance: Radical Islam and the American Left, Regnery 2004) Thus, before the final death count had been tallied in the worst act of terrorism in American history, the campus Left had already launched a pre-emptive strike against America’s effort to defend itself.

A year and a half later, American forces entered Iraq to enforce UN resolution 1441 against Saddam Hussein’s brutal dictatorship, a sponsor of terror, a deployer of chemical weapons, an aggressor in two recent wars, and an outlaw regime in open defiance of 16 previous UN resolutions and international law. Demonstrations were organized on nearly 1,000 campuses to prevent America and Britain from taking down Saddam’s regime. At one “antiwar” teach-in at Columbia University, conducted by 30 faculty and attended by 3,000 students, Professor Nicholas De Genova declared: “Peace is subversive, because peace anticipates a very different world than the one in which we live – a world where the U.S. would have no place. The only true heroes are those who find ways that help defeat the U.S. military. I personally would like to see a million Mogadishus.”[3] (Cited in Horowitz, op. cit. p. 34)



This was a reference to the site in Somalia where an al-Qaeda warlord ambushed and killed 18 American troops, then dragged their bodies through the streets. According to reports, the crowd “applauded loudly” when De Genova continued, “If we really [believe] that this war is criminal...then we have to believe in the victory of the Iraqi people and the defeat of the U.S. war machine.” The “Iraqi people” the Columbia teach-in cheered to victory are the same terrorist forces that carried out the torture and rape of Saddam’s political opponents and their families as a matter of course, and have since killed more than 1,000 U.S. servicemen.



This speech was a moment of truth for the campus antiwar Left, revealing how a significant segment of academia had formed an unholy alliance with terrorists and their enablers. From sponsoring pro-terrorist symposia, to funding and defending pro-terrorist campus organizations, to teaching students that America is an imperialistic oppressor and the terrorists are no threat, America’s universities are playing a sinister and dangerous role in the war on the terror. It is a role that deserves more attention than it has been given, and the present booklet, Campus Support for Terrorism, is an attempt to remedy the deficiency.

Perhaps the most notorious example of a professor’s active role in the terrorist jihad is that of Osama “Sami” al-Arian, a University of South Florida professor who before his arrest was the North American head of Palestinian Islamic Jihad, an organization that has murdered more than 100 people in suicide bombings in the Middle East, including two young Americans.

there is no in between?

you either hate america or hate islam?

you can't dislike american foreign policy while abhoring islamic radicalism?

universities are anti-american you can be anti-war and not anti-american

He likes to muddle things that are obvious, ignore him. We all know that the majority of universities are rabid leftist anti american shitholes.

it's obvious to Jack Thompson that videogames are murder trainers... its obvious to Jack Chick that anyone NOT in his sect are foul and evil...

obvious...

psh...

today's kids don't want an islamic state... they want us to live and let live and worry about our OWN fucking problems. or do they? i don't know because i don't have the sample data. do YOU know? how?

who are you talking about billy?

Errantrogue the only guy in here who dleiberatly tries ot muddle things that are obvious in this case but tries to claim things are black and white in others.

Notice he started talking about Thompson? Because yeah he has a lot to do with the fact that college campuses in the US are breeding gorunds for morons who hate the USA and are led by ex hippys and pro socialist scum.

Errantrogue the Theocrat Thompson does not change the fact that universities supports terrorism

There ya go, thats the way to beat him at his game, stick to your issue.

that's a matter of perspective... the college that i work at and several colleges that i've visited or had contact with recently have added several courses to the catalog in the wake of 9/11... most of them exploring Middle Eastern history, Islamic history and law, etc., in an effort to better understand where and why the violence happens.

there are extremists in every field... so, yes, you WILL find examples of professors who advocate in favor of the Jihad... but you've seen what've happened to them... they've been ridiculed, censored, and some have lost tenure and been fired.

the problem i have with the previous statements is that people are throwing out general statements as fact when i personally have seen no evidence of it (and i fucking WORK at a college and speak regularly with so-called "radical" professors daily).

"We all know that the majority of universities are rabid leftist anti american shitholes."

"college campuses in the US are breeding gorunds for morons who hate the USA and are led by ex hippys and pro socialist scum."

yes, those are both Billy, but the point remains... the hostile generalizations prove nothing.

if nothing else should give you pause in the article, this possibly should... "([1] For the views of one influential radical professor see Peter Collier and David Horowitz, The Anti-Chomsky Reader, Encounter Books 2004)"

now, i may not often agree with Noam Chomsky (that IS the Chomsky that i assume they're anti- for), but the phrasing of their title makes me very suspicious of their nature and validity.

oh really then explain why these profs aren't fired?


http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/I...c.asp?type=aca


this is a long list and ALL of them are still teaching in thier concentration camps called universities

your analogy is flawed... they can't be both Nazi Training Grounds (as implied by the fascism/Hitler references in the article) and Concentration Camps.

this list, by the way, seems suspicious in itself... i randomly clicked on several of the names and not much jumped out at me as being pro-terrorism. yes, there were a lot of quotes citing criticism of the current administration, but that is far from illegal and far from wrong.

now, no doubt there ARE probably professors on that list who are advocates of islamic fundies or radical anti-americanism... i don't know because i didn't read them all... but there's nothing wrong with being on the political left... just as there's nothing wrong with being on the political right.

bandying about inflammartory and insulting terms based on political leanings doesn't help... in fact, i believe it further polarizes us away from common understanding.

Universities are facilities. They're a collection of buildings that house professors that are paid to educate students; they're not political institutions. If they're anti anything, it would be anti-ignorance, because ignorance leads to people spamming Internet forums with inflammatory, sweeping generalizations that aren't very well thought out nor informative.

The Muslim Student Association: A Wahhabi Front
By Stephen Schwartz
NationalReview.com | March 11, 2003

What is the real nature of the Muslim Students' Association of the U.S. and Canada (MSA)? This octopus-like entity has infiltrated numerous college and university campuses in North America, and has taken the lead in corralling young Muslims to defend the fascist dictator Saddam Hussein. According to MSA, the correct position for Muslims in America involves their marching alongside neofascists and Stalinists, with the legions of "useful fools" who flock to bogus "peace" demonstrations.

When its leaders speak to mainstream media, MSA presents itself as a campus-service organization not much different from other collegiate faith groups. But the reality is very different, and deeply sinister. MSA is a key element in the Wahhabi lobby, and a cornerstone of the conspiracy by Saudi-backed extremists to control American Islam, as well the public discourse about Islam in America.

Above all, MSA now seeks to present itself as moderate and opposed to terrorism, even though its chapters have distributed the propaganda of Osama bin Laden on its websites, along with publicity-recruiting campaigns for Wahhabi subversion of the Chechen struggle in Russia.

To best understand the MSA and its history one should turn to the work of Hamid Algar, a Western Muslim scholar of impeccable academic credentials, who also happens to be a ferocious critic of the U.S. and Israel. Algar, a member of the University of California-Berkeley faculty, is the biographer of Ayatollah Khomeini and among the leading historians of Islamic spirituality alive today.

But although he is no friend of President Bush or Ariel Sharon, Algar has described with stunning accuracy the nature of the MSA. In his brief work Wahhabism: A Critical Essay, published in 2002, he writes: "Some Muslim student organizations have… functioned at times as Saudi-supported channels for the propagation of Wahhabism abroad, especially in the United States. The Muslim Student Association of the U.S. and Canada was established in 1963, one year after the Muslim World League [MWL] with which it had close links." Let us note here that the MWL was established by the Saudi regime as an extremist Islamic equivalent of the old Communist International or Comintern, and that its cadres included numerous Islamist "revolutionaries" from the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood and from Pakistan.

Algar continues, "Particularly in the 1960s and 1970s, no criticism of Saudi Arabia would be tolerated at the annual conventions of the MSA… Its numerous local chapters would make available at every Friday prayer large stacks of the [MWL]'s publications, in both English and Arabic… Although the MSA progressively diversified its connections with Arab states, official approval of Wahhabism remained strong." Algar notes that in 1980 the organization published a translation, which was actually a text puffed up to give it more substance, of writings by Ibn Abd al-Wahhab, the 18th century founder of the dispensation named for him, which is presently the state sect in the Saudi kingdom.

With some sarcasm, Algar points out "it might appear at first sight puzzling that students pursuing a higher education should be attracted to a Wahhabi reading of Islam… they found in Wahhabism a 'rationalized' Islam, stripped of the niceties and ambiguities of juristic reasoning, the complexities of theology, and the subtleties of Sufism" [Islamic spirituality]. He calls attention to MSA's role in the creation of the Islamic Society of North America, or ISNA, which is best described as a branch of the Saudi religious militia operating to impose Wahhabi conformity on all of American Islam.

In addition, the MSA has strong ties with the World Assembly of Muslim Youth (WAMY), established in 1972 and directed from the Saudi capital, Riyadh. WAMY's U.S. offices in Northern Virginia have been a central target of the federal investigation of terrorist funding and money laundering by Islamist groups following the horrors of September 11th.

The foremost aim of the Wahhabis is always to impose a single voice on Muslims. Right now, this means projecting the image, in U.S. media as well as on campuses, that all right-thinking Muslim believers consider an attack on Saddam and his regime to be aggression against Islam. This is a lie. Thousands of Iraqi Shias, Kurds, and other Muslims in the U.S. support the Bush project for the liberation of Iraq from the fascist regime, and for the broader liberation of Islamic societies from the grip of tyranny and terrorism, leading to a new epoch of democracy, prosperity, and stability.

This month, Shia Muslims in the New York area will use their commemoration of Ashura, the main Shia holiday, as an opportunity to express loyalty to America, support for the removal of Saddam, and opposition to Saudi-funded terrorism — which has always aimed first to kill Shia Muslims. But you won't hear that from MSA chapter leaders on our campuses — just as you won't hear from International ANSWER, the Stalinofascist cabal that organizes pro-Saddam marches, about the crimes of the Butcher of Baghdad. Like the new breed of out-front Jew-baiting Stalinists, and the revived isolationist Judeophobes who see the hand of Sharon pulling President Bush's strings, MSA stands for the "peace" of the grave — surrender to tyranny abroad and promotion of treason here at home.

Do you have your own opinons or do you just post articles from websites and try to elicit response?

i have my own opinions

Try articulating them then, and stop hiding behind cut-n-pastes. That's called spamming.
