We recall very distinctly that the Students for Justice in Palestine at Georgetown University hosted an anti-Israel divestment conference at that university, which seems to be under the influence of the Saudi terror supporter Al-Waleed bin Talal. bin Talal gave Georgetown $20 million for a Muslim studies center to “promote Christian-Muslim understanding.” We can think of no conceivable mission for this institution other than to function as a jihadist propaganda center because bin Talal also boasted during an interview, “There are no Christians in Saudi Arabia.”

During an interview on the O’Reilly show along with StopTheISM’s Lee Kaplan, Dr. Daniel Porterfield of Georgetown University’s Office of Communications made the following commitment.

O’REILLY: OK. Now, if ties to terror were proven, if what Mr. Kaplan says is true, that they provide material support, sometimes financial support, would Georgetown turn around and say, “You’re not welcome”?

PORTERFIELD: I think that would be very significant, yes. We need to know what the exact facts are, of course. But we have no interest at Georgetown University in allowing people to come to campus who are supporters of terrorism.

Lee Kaplan was on record as providing Dr. Porterfield with copious evidence of the Palestine Solidarity Movement’s support for terrorism. An information package was delivered by certified U.S. mail to Georgetown’s Directors (Trustees) on January 23 with extensive information, including numerous quotes from Web sites friendly to the Palestine Solidarity Movement, that confirm beyond a reasonable doubt the organization’s verbal support for terroristic violence plus an account of material support (”safe house” assistance) to terrorists (the Susan Barclay incident). This information has also been sent by E-mail to Dr. Porterfield, Dr. Smulson, and Dr. DeGioia. Furthermore, information on how the conference may violate Georgetown University policies was sent to Dr. Todd Olson, who is in charge of Student Affairs and the rules that govern Georgetown University events. In the Washington Post, PSM organizer Huwaida Arraf stated openly that her organization worked with Hamas and Islamic Jihad, which are both Foreign Terrorist Organizations as defined by the U.S. State Department, although she claims that the cooperation related only to “nonviolent resistance.” “Nonviolent” resistance can take numerous forms, such as removing roadblocks (an activity that Arraf is on record as promoting) and interfering with security checkpoints to make it easier for the practitioners of violent “resistance” to do their work. Again,

O’REILLY: OK. Now, if ties to terror were proven, if what Mr. Kaplan says is true, that they provide material support, sometimes financial support, would Georgetown turn around and say, “You’re not welcome”?

PORTERFIELD: I think that would be very significant, yes. We need to know what the exact facts are, of course. But we have no interest at Georgetown University in allowing people to come to campus who are supporters of terrorism.

The fact that the conference was allowed to proceed despite documented evidence of connections to terrorist organizations like Hamas pretty much speaks for itself.

StandWithUs reports that the University of California at Irvine’s Muslim Student Union also is bringing terror supporters onto campus.

UC IRVINE’S MUSLIM STUDENT UNION is making the mistake
of bringing the most hateful, most radical speakers to this community - By Roberta Seid, PhD, and Stand4Facts.com*

…Imam Muhammed Al-Asi …has been associated with the radical terrorist group, Hezbollah.[v] He regrets that Moslems were pushed out of Spain, defeated at the gates of Vienna in the 17th century and condemns the “infamous legacy of Ataturk”—the man who brought liberal reforms to Turkey in the early 20th century.[vi] He supported Ayatollah Khomeini’s fatwa calling for the assassination of author Salman Rushdie…

Al-Asi …told an audience in 2001 that “You can take the Jew out of the ghetto but you cannot take the ghetto out of the Jew.” He has claimed that Jews deserved the Holocaust, that “What the Jews refer to as ‘anti-semitism’ does not happen out of the blue! When the masses turn their wrath against the Jews it is not because the Jews are ‘minding their own business…. the gentiles finally realize that the Jew thrives on regional and world wars so these gentiles turn their wrath against the Jew.”

Jews are not proposing to turn the United States into a Jewish nation and institute biblical Jewish law (which most American Jews would not tolerate for an instant). It is the Jihadists that have openly boasted their intention to turn the United States into an Islamic nation. Another Islamofascist, Abdel Malik Ali, has in fact said so as shown below. At least Al-Asi agrees that when the masses turn their wrath against the jihadists, it will be because both Jews and Gentiles realize that the Islamofascisti thrives on wars and on mindless violence in general.

Another speaker, Rabbi David Weiss, belongs to Neturei Karta, a fringe, self-styled ultra-Orthodox Jewish group that was funded in part by Yasser Arafat’s government…

…The last speaker, Imam Abdel Malik Ali, is a firebrand rhetorician who uses street slang to vilify Jews and to rouse his audiences to fight for the victory of Islam in America. “We ain’t gonna lose. We must implement Islam as a totality,” in which “Allah controls every place - the home, the classroom, the science lab, the halls of Congress,” he told a Berkeley MSA conference in 2004. Nor does he insist that this victory for Islam be done peacefully. “In America, you’re mostly fighting with your tongue. But you should also learn how to fight with the sword.”

That, Mr. Abdel Malik Ali, sounds like a threat to commit illegal violence, although perhaps not sufficiently specific to require immediate attention from law enforcement. The First Amendment gives you the right to spew as much nonsense as you want but the instant you lay a violent hand on another person to put your agenda into effect, violent hands may be legally laid upon you by your prospective victim or bystanders. If you survive that experience, you will end up in one of our prisons for a very long time like your friend who was recently sent to the Supermax facility in Colorado. (I think that individual gets to see the light of day for one hour out of every twenty-four, when he is let out of his concrete cell.) Your kind will not do here what it has felt free to do in Europe, such as raping women for not wearing veils, cutting filmmakers’ and journalists’ throats, and burning down homes and businesses. We have nice strong steel cages for violent animals that cannot be allowed to run loose in civilized societies.

His goal is to see Sharia law instituted in America, and he acknowledges that “There will be some poop-butts who will not want to live under sharia law and will leave.”

Abdel Malik Ali, we guarantee that you will leave the United States before we (Judeo-Christians) do, unless you find yourself in a cage with the other animals for perpetrating any of the violent actions about which you have been making noises.

The most immediate problem, though, seems to be the Muslim Student Union at UC Irvine. It is quite clear, as shown by its list of distinguished guests, that it is an Islamofascist fifth column and a possible security risk to the United States. UC alumni should consider a selective boycott in which they cut off all donations to the University of California that might be directed to the Muslim Student Union.

We are also aware that about 20 Saudi Arabian students have enrolled at Wilkes University in Wilkes-Barre PA. As reported by Dhimmi Watch,

Stephen Lawrence is refusing to bow to intimidation. Would that we had 300 million more people like him in America. “Criticism of Saudi students sparks protest at Wilkes: Students object to a letter in the Times Leader portraying Saudi students as a potential danger,” from the Times Leader:

…Nearly 300 students attended the hour-and-a-half exposition outside the Henry Student Center Wednesday afternoon to protest the letter written by Forty Fort dentist Stephen M. Lawrence referencing 9/11, honor killings and the treatment of women and Christians in Muslim states.

“It is said we are having a clash of civilizations, but as we can plainly see, only one side is civilized,” he wrote. “Wake up Americans. We are letting the barbarians in and we must be diligent.”

Dr. Lawrence’s letter drew the usual politically-correct outcries in the Wilkes-Barre Times-Leader and Citizens Voice. We heard the usual squals of racism, along with moral equivalency arguments that Americans behave just as badly as Islamofascists by committing, for example, domestic violence and child rape. They conveniently leave out the fact that American laws punish domestic violence and child rape while Islamofascist cultures sanction both behaviors. As an example, Saudi girls can be forced to “marry” at age 12.

While we have no problem with these Saudi students as individuals, the fact that 300 students could be turned out to protest Dr. Lawrence’s condemnation of honor killings, terrorism, and misogyny suggests that there is a very serious problem at Wilkes University, and that Arab fifth columns may be behind that problem. Saudi Arabia has a lot of money, it is using it to influence policies at Georgetown University and Harvard University (one of the sources of the infamous Mearsheimer and Walt “Israeli Lobby” article), and it is probably trying to infiltrate other universities as well.

We also wrote a reply to the above criticism in the Citizens Voice because we are not going to tolerate this political-correctness nonsense in our own back yard. As just a brief excerpt,

Salman Punekar’s and Badr Al Hussain’s “Foreign students are here with nothing but good will” (May 11) should teach them more about the United States than four years at any university on earth can possibly do. No religious police dragged them away for writing, “We would also like to invite you to learn about Islam, as it should be taught, and in its most beautiful light.” In contrast, a Saudi teacher who “mocked religion” by talking about the Christian Bible and praising Jews was given 750 lashes and more than three years in jail.

Finally, we have a very serious incident at the Pennsylvania State University that began when, according to the Daily Collegian,

…the university cancelled his [Stulman’s] upcoming art exhibit for violation of Penn State’s policies on nondiscrimination, harassment and hate.

Three days before his 10-piece exhibit — Portraits of Terror — was scheduled to open at the Patterson Building, Stulman (senior-painting and anthropology) received an e-mail message from the School of Visual Arts that said his exhibit on images of terrorism “did not promote cultural diversity” or “opportunities for democratic dialogue” and the display would be cancelled.

…Charles Garoian, professor and director of the School of Visual Arts, said Stulman’s controversial images did not mesh with the university’s educational mission.

Professor Garoian has been offered numerous opportunities to tell his side of the story and it is now reasonable to conclude that he does not have one. While we are still investigaging this incident, there could be a very strong case for a selective boycott of the School of Visual Arts by Penn State’s alumni. Given President Graham Spanier’s very dignified and diplomatic reversal of the School of Visual Arts’ actions, the University as a whole must absolutely not be held responsible for some individuals’ loose-cannon actions but alumni can and should earmark their donations to prevent the use of any portion by the School of Visual Arts. As an example, graduates of the chemistry program can earmark their donations, “Department of Chemistry.” Graduates of the School of Visual Arts should consider redirecting their donations to a related program instead.

Furthermore, it is eminently clear that Penn State’s Muslim Students Association is a major part of this problem if not the underlying cause.

Muslim Student Association Vice President Heather Barton wrote that it was legally wrong to cancel the exhibit, but she thought Garoian should not suffer “any enormous consequences.”

“I personally feel very hurt and threatened by this exhibit, and I know that a lot of other Muslim and International students do too,” she wrote. “I definitely feel that this exhibit [threw] gasoline on the already burning fire of hate and ignorance towards Muslims and peoples of Middle Eastern origin.”

First of all, we are not sure why Ms. Barton feels “hurt and threatened” by an exhibit that condemns terrorism unless she sympathizes with terrorists. She is more than free to renounce her American citizenship, withdraw from Penn State, put on a veil, move to some Islamofascist country, and be treated like chattel property by the jihadist males. We personally feel that the passengers on United Flight 93 felt “hurt and threatened” by militant Islamic behavior on September 11 2001.

As for “ignorance of [militant] Muslims and peoples of Middle Eastern origin,” the victims of 9/11 certainly learned more than they ever needed to know about jihadists, although there are certainly plenty of decent Muslims who would leave those barbaric pre-medieval societies if they could. Hirsi Ali left Somali to escape jihadist “culture” and we will be delighted to have her become a fellow American.

Second, it is quite clear that Penn State’s Muslim Students Association has become a serious problem and liability for the University, and something needs to be done to separate it from all official connection with the University.

In conclusion, we see a very dangerous and disturbing pattern of behavior that is not confined to a single Muslim student organization, but is instead common to such organizations across the country. We have shown how the Muslim Student Union, Muslim Students Association, Students for Justice in Palestine, and so on have, to one degree or another, supported militant Islamic jihadism at UC Irvine, Penn State, Georgetown University, and Wilkes University. Muslim student organizations at Temple, Duke, and the University of Michigan have also been involved in sponsoring jihadist activities.

While the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States– a document whose liberal position on natural human rights would be inconceivable and intolerable in the Third World countries from which many of these international students are visiting– guarantees these organizations the right to say whatever they want as long as they do not incite illegal violence, it does not entitle them to support from taxpayers or even from the universities they have infested. Alumni and, in the case of publicly-funded institutions like Penn State, the taxpayers, must demand an end to all university sponsorship of organizations that promote jihadism and intolerance of Judeo-Christian society. If the jihadists don’t like it, they are free to go back to wherever they came from because our country has no walls to keep people in who don’t want to be here.
