The unending treachery of Barack Hussein Obama.

Who is vetting our employees at the US embassy in Egypt? Could anyone seeking asylum  trust that they wouldn’t be putting their lives in danger by going to the US embassy? Any Christian going to the US embassy to try to escape Muslim oppression, persecution and subjugation is putting a target on his or her back. That is what America has become under Hussein Obama.

Egypt: U.S. Embassy official in contact with Muslim Brotherhood arrested (thanks to Robert Spencer)

Barack Obama has been an indefatigable and unstinting supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, as well as of its proxies in the U.S. Thus it is not surprising that U.S. Embassy employees in Cairo would be Brotherhood allies as well. Obama was the target of vociferous criticism during the anti-Brotherhood demonstrations last summer for his uncritical support of the Brotherhood.

“US Embassy confirms one of its local employees detained,” by Rabab Fathy for Youm7 via the Cairo Post, February 11 (thanks to Joyce):

CAIRO: National Security arrested a local employee on Jan. 25 who works for the U.S. embassy in Cairo, the embassy confirmed Tuesday.

“We confirm that one of our local employees was arrested on Jan. 25. According to our information, there are no charges against him so far,” said Mofid al-Deek, Media Attaché and the spokesperson of the U.S. embassy in Cairo.

Deek said the embassy is communicating with the Egyptian government to understand the reason for the employee’s detention.

A security source reported National Security arrested Ahmed A., a U.S embassy employee in charge of the political Islam file. The source added that the employee was in constant contact with Khairat el-Shater, First Deputy of the General Guide of the Muslim Brotherhood, when the group ruled the country.

The suspect was arrested while participating with others in marches and riots in Giza Governorate. He is being investigated by the National Security Agency to determine the dimensions of his activity.

Another doctor. Further proof that the lie that Islamic apologists and Muslim supremacists advance is propaganda. Here again, reality flies in the face of the bogus narrative of Islamic supremacists and the leftist lapdogs on their payroll, that jihad is caused by poverty. We are clubbed to death with the lie (literally). But it is often just the opposite. Well-educated and affluent, the jihadis shows that the catalyst for jihad is a move towards the faith of Islam. Religiosity is the catalyst.

Herdsmen in Nigeria,  rappers in Germany, doctors in Glasgow,  chemical engineering students in Canada, heart surgeons in Saudi Arabia, university students in Britain, imams in America and so forth – what brings these wildly different people together? Jihad. From the Sahara to the Kalahari, London to Lisbon, Manhattan to Madrid, Bali to Boston, Tiananmen Square to Thailand, Myanmar to Malaysia, Nairobi to Nigeria  ….. no matter what the background, upbringing, schooling, wealth or poverty, color, what have you, it doesn’t matter. The understanding of Islam and jihad is the same, and it is the motive, the incitement to this monstrous war on the West and and the East and all points in between.

If the world was as concerned with the mass slaughter of non-Muslims by jihadists as they are about the fictional narrative of “islamophobia,” we might begin to defeat this enemy of humanity

“Doctor enters not guilty plea in as Ottawa terrorism trial begins,” Edmonton Journal, Thanks to Don, February 11, 2014

OTTAWA – A man who once auditioned for the Canadian Idol TV show has pleaded not guilty to a terrorism charge laid more than three years ago.

Khurram Syed Sher, a doctor of pathology from London, Ont., is being tried by judge alone in Ontario Superior Court after months of wrangling over how much information in the case can be made public.

Sher, 31, was charged in August 2010 with conspiracy to facilitate terrorism.

Wearing a grey suit and blue tie, he observed the proceedings from a small table near his counsel as the trial — expected to last four weeks — got off to a halting start.

During arguments Monday, one of Sher’s lawyers, Giuseppe Cipriano, made preliminary points about the legal nature of conspiracy as it relates to the charge.

In essence, the defence is seeking more information about the accusation, Cipriano said after the hearing.

“It’s just so we know what it is that they’re alleging he’s done wrong.”

Both Cipriano and federal lawyer Jason Wakely declined to elaborate on the defence motion.

Judge Charles Hackland is expected to rule on the request Tuesday before the Crown begins to lay out its main arguments.

Following Sher’s high-profile arrest, police said they seized terrorist literature, videos and manuals, along with dozens of electronic circuit boards allegedly designed to detonate homemade bombs remotely.

Police claim the alleged plot stretches from Ottawa to Afghanistan, Dubai, Iran and Pakistan.

A senior RCMP officer said at the time that an attack was still months away, but that the plotters were moving into a preparatory phase.

Authorities said they acted when they did to prevent the transfer of money to counterparts to buy weapons that would be used against coalition forces in Afghanistan.

Sher, a graduate of Montreal’s McGill University, worked an anatomical pathologist at St. Thomas Elgin General Hospital in St. Thomas, Ont., south of London.

He made international headlines shortly after his arrest when it emerged he had once sung and danced on the Canadian Idol program. He has been free on bail, under strict conditions, for years.

A publication ban on certain aspects of the case limits what can be reported during the trial.

In addition, the federal government has been trying to ensure portions of thousands of documents in the case never become public in order to protect the identity of a confidential source as well as sensitive relationships with foreign allies.

Records filed in the Federal Court of Canada indicate an undercover source working for Canada’s spy agency and secret intelligence from the United States and Britain helped build the federal case.

At least some of that information came from the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation and the London Metropolitan Police in Britain, says an affidavit filed by the RCMP in Federal Court.

Another Muslim “misunderstanding’ Islam, along with millions of other Muslims who are motivated to kill by jihadic doctrine. Soon the international Muslim fighters will outnumber the Syrian jihadists.

British jihadist fighting in Syria posts Twitter ‘torture’ footage with caption: ‘Can’t wait for feeling you get when U just killed some1′ Daily Mail, February 11, 2014 (thanks to David)

• British citizens ‘involved in beating and execution of fellow rebels’
• Footage of apparent torture of a Free Syrian Army fighter by British man
• In separate picture posted on Twitter three prisoners are seen blindfolded
• Text says: ‘Can’t wait for that feeling when you just killed some1′

British citizens fighting in Syria may have been involved in the beating and execution of fellow rebels, it has today been claimed.

It comes after a man from London has posted an apparent ‘torture’ video on Facebook, which appears to show the beating of prisoners.

The man – believed to be with a jihadist rebel group and originally from West London – has uploaded a video in which he claimed to have tortured a fighter with the Free Syrian Army – which is backed by the west.

Alongside images of the fighter tied to a car tyre and being hit with an iron bar, the ‘jihadist’ writes that he launched the attack after he ‘insulted his brothers’.

He said: ‘Some FSA are starting to feel they run things! This FSA scum never thought we wud jump out at them and pick them up after saying some abusive words to our brothers.

‘Two then got ahead of themselves and swore at Allah, at this point there was no stopping us LOL [laugh out loud] although we where told to jus leave them.’

He shouts that he is not a ‘kuffar’, a non-believer, and that he is a ‘mujahid’ – a Muslim fighter  – and begs them not to kill him.

Shiraz Maher, a senior fellow at the International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation at King’s College London, confirmed to Sky News that the man who posted the video footage was from London.

It is also believed he has been to university.

In a  separate picture posted on Twitter by another British citizen in Syria, three prisoners are seen blindfolded, alongside the words: ‘Got these criminals today. Insha’Allah [God willing] they will be killed tomorrow. Can’t wait for that feeling when u just killed some1′

The same user then posted a picture of a blood soaked hand along with the words: ‘My first time!’

Mr Maher said that after contacting the man over the internet, he denied killing prisoners.

He also added that the blood on his hands was from a slaughtered sheep.

Maybe the NY Times has an opening for a film critic ….. seeing as how fond the Times is of their poetry.

The irony is how these terrorists are depicted in Hollywood films: Serb terrorists, Russian terrorists, Russian Orthodox terrorists, but never Muslim terrorists.

Pakistan: Islamic jihadists throw grenades into crowded movie theatre, murdering eleven people (thanks to Robert Spencer)

These Islamic jihadists think that it is sinful to see movies. And to drive that point home, they resort to murder. They do not think it is sinful to murder people who watch movies. It is only sinful to watch them. This is what is behind the Islamic critique of Western immorality: a culture of violence and intimidation that is only moral because people are too afraid not to be — not because they are interested in cultivating genuine virtue, or even have any clear understanding of what that is.

“Attackers throw grenades at moviegoers in Pakistan,” by Munir Ahmed for the Associated Press, February 11 (thanks to Kenneth):

PESHAWAR, Pakistan — Assailants threw grenades into a crowded movie theater in northwestern Pakistan, killing 11 people, officials said, in an attack that shows the challenges as negotiators face off in talks between the Taliban and the government.

One of the grenades blew up the main door, and two more exploded inside the theater as about 80 people were watching a movie called “Yarana,” which means friendship in Pashto, officials said. The floor of the cinema was streaked with blood while some of the seats were torn from the force of the explosion.

No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, which occurred in Peshawar, a city near restive areas on the Afghan border that are home to Pakistani Taliban and al-Qaida-linked foreign Islamic militants. Many Sunni Muslim militant groups view movies and other forms of entertainment as obscene Western influences.

The manager of the cinema, Fayaz Khan, said he hadn’t received any threats from anyone and urged the government to provide protection for them in the future.

Police official Kamal Khan said the investigation was continuing, and it wasn’t clear how many attackers were involved. Another official Ijaz Khan gave the death toll and said some 20 people also were wounded.

The attack comes days after Pakistan began a peace process with Taliban militants fighting in the country’s northwest to end the violence that has killed more than 40,000 people in recent years. The Pakistani Taliban, formally called Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan, is separate from the Taliban fighting NATO-forces in neighboring Afghanistan. Although the two groups share similar ideology, the Pakistani Taliban has focused its fight against the Pakistani government….

But Obama said that there was not even a smidgen of corruption in the IRS scandal.

We are under siege. And the Obama administration is turning our government agencies against the American people without firing a shot. A bloodless coup.

“Smoking gun in IRS political targeting,” By Aaron Klein, WND, February 11, 2014
Shocker! Leftist group paid to review right

WASHINGTON – Though President Obama insists the Internal Revenue Service is not guilty of the political targeting of nonprofits, WND has learned the agency contracts with an avowedly “progressive” organization supported by George Soros to process data filed by smaller tax-exempt groups.

The federal agency process sends details contained in the annual filings for organizations with $50,000 in annual receipts or less to the Urban Institute, which is funded at least partly by government payments as well as contributions from far-left activist George Soros.

The IRS page directs groups to file with the Urban Institute, although apparently other providers also can file the Form 990 documentation, which is required of every nonprofit, small and large.

The IRS.gov page on the “Annual Electronic Filing Requirement for Small Exempt Organizations – Form 990-N (e-Postcard)” includes instructions to file online, and includes a direct link to the Urban Institute.

It’s for “most small tax-exempt organizations whose annual gross receipts are normally $50,000 or less,” since they are “required” to electronically submit Form 990-N, unless they choose an alternative Form 990 or Form 990-EZ.

“The organization that fails to file required e-Postcards … for three consecutive years will automatically lose its tax-exempt status,” the IRS warns.

There, in the “How to File” box, are instructions to use “this link” to file. The IRS explains, “When you access the system, you will leave the IRS site and file the e-Postcard with the IRS through our trusted partner, Urban Institute. The form must be completed and filed electronically. There is no paper form.”

That link leads to a page offering operations to “File your Electronic Form 990-N (e-Postcard).” You can register as a “New User” and you can “Create your Form 990-N.”

And “Submit your Form 990-N.”

The page URL is for “epostcard.form990.org,” and it carries the logo of the Urban Institute.

The supposedly “nonpartisan” organization’s employees have a record of donating nearly 100 percent of their political contributions to Democrats, and officially, the Urban Institute advocates for totally socialized medicine, carbon taxes and amnesty for illegal aliens.

And UI’s president, Sarah Rosen Wartell, is the co-founder of the Center for American Progress, widely considered ground zero for the development of many of the Obama administration’s progressive policies.

The issue of IRS targeting of tea-party and conservative groups arose in May 2013 when the agency admitted during a news conference that groups with “tea party” or “patriots” in their names were flagged for extra IRS review.

Dozens of organizations ultimately filed lawsuits over the targeting, and members have testified about the questions they faced from the IRS, such as about the content of their prayers, whether they would promise not to protest the Planned Parenthood abortion agenda, and others.

Many of those groups still are in court over their pursuit of fair treatment.

Even as recently as Thursday, an attorney representing several of those groups, Cleta Mitchell, told a congressional hearing, “The IRS scandal is not over. It is continuing to this day. And the Department of Justice is a sham. It is a nonexistent investigation.”

Mitchell, a partner in the Washington-based law firm Foley & Lardner LLP, is well-known for providing expert legal advice to conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. She blasted Obama’s claim on Sunday that there is no IRS scandal, and his insistence there was “not even a smidgen of corruption” in the agency’s targeting of conservative groups applying for tax-exempt status.

“The IRS scandal is not just a bone-headed bunch of bureaucrats in some remote office, contrary to what the president of the United States told the American people,” she said.

She told the House Government Reform and Oversight committee the attacks were politically motivated because the direction came from “political elites in Washington — not in Cincinnati, but Washington.”

The attorney said she knew as far back as October of 2011 that the targeting was being guided by Washington, because when she contacted the Cincinnati IRS agent assigned to one of her clients and offered to try to help smooth the application process, she said she was told, “Oh, there’s a task force in Washington; we can’t do anything until we hear back from Washington.”

During that hearing, Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., took up the questioning.

“How can the president say there’s not a smidgen of criminality when Lois Lerner invoked the 5th Amendment, 41 witnesses haven’t been interviewed – including the two that are here right now? How can he possibly draw that conclusion?!” Gowdy demanded.

The latest maneuver in the continuing battle is the pending proposal from the IRS to impose new rules on those nonprofits that essentially would prevent them from speaking about candidates or issues.

“This is a real assault on the First Amendment rights of American citizens, and we need to do everything we can to stop the IRS from implementing these new rules,” Mitchell said.

She said the goal of the rules is “to restrict the free speech of conservatives in the United States. Progressives tend to focus on process issues, and these new IRS regulations are a direct attempt by the political left to rewrite the rules of political engagement unfairly in their favor.”

The Urban Institute has advocated for socialized health care in the United States, and back in the 1980s ran a critique of the Reagan administration. It followed with critiques of George H.W. Bush.

“In 2001, UI and the Brookings Institution began collaboration on a Tax Policy Center (TPC) to discredit President George W. Bush’s tax cut plans, which UI claimed disproportionately and unjustly favored ‘the wealthy,’” a report from Discover the Networks said.

The institute lamented “societal obstacles” that allegedly prevented African-Americans from prospering. It argued “public insurance appears to offer the best financial protection from high out-of-pocket expenses and financial burden for low-income families.” And its reports make “no distinction between legal immigrants and illegal aliens.”

Even the Los Angeles Times has unabashedly labeled the Urban Institute a “leading liberal think tank.”

The Urban Institute says it “gathers data, conducts research, evaluates programs, offers technical assistance overseas, and educates Americans on social and economic issues – to foster sound public policy and effective government.”

It has released dozens of extensive reports advocating redistribution through taxes. The “Tax Distribution and Economic Trends” section of its website provides links to many of those reports.

The group is a proponent of the carbon tax, which has been criticized as too heavily taxing the United States while distributing those funds to the Third World.

The Urban Institute got into the tax forms with the help of the IRS, which turned over documentation from 200,000 nonprofits from the American Cancer Society to the Heritage Foundation so a database could be created.

At the time, Linda Lampkin of the Urban Institute’s National Center for Charitable Statistics touted it as a way for individuals to access information about nonprofits.

A report in the Washington Post said Urban Institute officials, at one time while President Reagan was in office, accused Republicans of defunding the organization because of its leftist bias. At that point, it made connections with Ford, Mellon and other foundations for support.

It also started getting contributions from Aetna Life and Casualty, Exxon and General Dynamics. Among Ford’s funded projects was a study on immigration.

And an entire page at the Urban Institute’s website is dedicated to the IRS tea-party scandal, which is described as “small.”

Just last year, Soros provided a $250,000 grant for “collecting data and conducting sophisticated empirical research and analysis on the impact of various proposals for housing finance reforms on low-income families, communities of color and underserved markets.”

Another Urban Institute donor is the Joyce Foundation, an anti-gun group where Obama served on the board from 1994 to 2002.

Joyce gave a $400,000 grant to the controversial Media Matters progressive activist group in 2010, purportedly to “support a gun and public safety issue initiative.”

While Obama was on the Joyce Foundation board, the organization granted tens of millions of dollars to gun-control organizations. Also numerous large grants were provided to a group called Leadership for Quality Education, which was run by John Ayers, the brother of Weatherman terrorist Bill Ayers.

Also while Obama was at Joyce, the foundation gave numerous grants to the Small Schools workshop at the University of Chicago, which was founded by Bill Ayers and is run by avowed communist activist Mike Klonsky, who served with Ayers in the Students for a Democratic Society.

The honor code under Islam trumps all, but most especially humanity. The Muslim husband divorces this poor woman (and probably did her the biggest favor of her life) and throws her out. She goes home to live, but can’t tell her family that he divorced her. Then why is she there? Only the Muslim male mind can explain such things.

He divorced her because she gave birth to a girl ….

It gets worse. The savage decides he wants her back. She refused. So he went to her parent’s house and beat her. He threw acid on her, as “punishment for her arrogance.”

Where do Muslim men buy their acid? Who sells it to them? The law ought to pursue that as well.

“Acid attack: Woman burnt for making divorce public “ Express Tribune.com, February 11, 2014 (thanks to Religion of Peace)

The man has been arrested. Doctors treating the woman said she was in critical condition.

Saima Bibi* told police that she had had a daughter two years after she married Muhammad Hussain, 37, a resident of Akhtar Town in Burewala Vehari. A few weeks later, she said, he divorced her and kicked her out of his house. She said she had been living with her parents for six months. However, she said, he had threatened her not to tell her family that he had divorced her. She said he had also threatened to kill the girl.

She said she told her parents that she had had an argument over the birth of a girl and did not want to go back.

A few weeks ago, she said, Hussain visited her and asked her to go with him. She said her family, too, pushed her for reconciliation, not knowing that she had been divorced.

She said she finally refused him and told her family that he had divorced her and that she could not return to his house. On Monday, she said, Hussain entered her parents’ house along with two men and beat her. He then threw acid at her and kept shouting that it was “a punishment for her arrogance”. She said he also cursed her for making the divorce public and refusing to return to him.

She was taken to Burewala tehsil headquarters hospital, where doctors said that she had 50 per cent burns. From there, she was shifted to Vehari district headquarters hospital, where she was said to be in critical condition.

Eye specialist Ghulam Hussain Atif at the DHQ Hospital told The Express Tribune that doctors were trying their best to save her eyes. He said he feared she might lose her eyesight.

An FIR has been registered on her father’s complaint. District Police Officer Sadiq Ali Dogar said the suspect was arrested on his way to Lahore. He said the two other suspects nominated in the FIR were yet to be arrested.

*THE NAME HAS BEEN CHANGED TO PROTECT VICTIM’S IDENTITY

California Muslima Shaima Alawadi was honor killed by her devout Muslim husband.  Kassim Alhimidi has been charged with the beating death of his long suffering wife. A CAIR front site, the  Chicago Monitor, featured an article claiming that “Shaima Alawadi was beat to death inside her home and left next to a note that read, ‘This is my country. Go back to yours, terrorist.’” In what is now textbook Islamic supremacist media myth manipulation, when Muslims commit honor violence, plot jihad, attempt to murder the kuffar,  Islamic supremacist leadership blames non-Muslims and howls about Islamophobia. We see this pattern repeatedly. Mosque attacks are staged by Muslims to shore up the false narrative of “islamophobia.” Any number of cases of mosque vandalism were done by imams.

Shaima Alawadi was the victim of the honor code of violence under Islam. The Muslim community and the lapdog media tried to blame ……. us. I covered this case extensively here.

Did CAIR apologize for falsely accusing and defaming people like me for the death of California Muslima Shaima Alawadi — when, in fact, she was  honor killed, beaten to death with a tire iron, by her husband? No, instead, Hamas-CAIR incites an atmosphere of hate among Muslims for non-Muslims. And these jihad supporters are still  lying in order to impose Islam and sharia on an unsuspecting American public.

Hamas-linked CAIR still claims California Islamic honor killing victim was killed by “racism”(thanks to Robert Spencer)

This murder was a very big deal for awhile among Leftists and Islamic supremacists, although now (of course) they have forgotten that it ever happened. At the time, because of the note that was found by the body saying “Go back to your country, you terrorist,” the crime was universally reported as being motivated by “Islamophobia,” and the work of an “Islamophobe” who hated Shaima Alawadi for wearing a hijab. They even staged a campaign, “One Million Hijabs for Shaima Alawadi.” When it turned out to be an Islamic honor killing and Shaima’s husband was arrested for the murder, they went silent — with no retractions or apologies, of course.

Where were the One Million Hijabs Against Honor Killings?

Stooping lowest, not surprisingly, was current media darling Reza Aslan, who raged in this sub-literate tweet that Pamela Geller and I were responsible for the murder:

In another tweet containing yet another adolescent insult, Aslan of course refused to apologize. Very classy guy, Aslan.

Anyway, the whole “hate crime” was staged, and it was actually an Islamic honor killing for which Shaima Alawadi’s husband is now about to stand trial. Will the Leftists and Islamic supremacists who made so much of the hate crime now stage “One Million Hijabs Against Honor Killing”? Somehow I doubt it.

“CAIR Still Trying to Blame Muslim Honor Killing on ‘American Racism,’” by Daniel Greenfield for FrontPage, February 9:

…The Chicago Monitor, which is a front site for CAIR in Chicago, featured an article claiming that “Shaima Alawadi was beat to death inside her home and left next to a note that read, ‘This is my country. Go back to yours, terrorist.’ She was a 32-year-old mother of five who had left her country, Iraq, with her family following the Shiite uprisings, in hopes of finding peace in El Cajon, CA. These two now-lifeless Americans represent the true victims of America’s inherent racism and prejudice.”

Right. America’s inherent racism and prejudice.

New information in the Shaima Alawadi murder case in El Cajon, Calif., suggests that the family was cracking over a forced marriage for daughter Fatima, 17, and that Alawadi herself was preparing to divorce her husband. If female freedom turns out to be at the heart of the murder, it will highlight not so much the intolerance of Muslim immigrants by Americans, but the cultural restrictions on women in those communities and what happens when those restrictions clash with the relatively permissive rules of Western society.

Alawadi, 32, belonged to a culture in which families choose husbands for their daughters at a young age, and the daughters have no say in it. She was married by the age of 15. She had produced five children with her husband Kassim Alhimidi, who moved his family to the U.S. 17 years ago. Police executing search warrants on the family’s house, cars and phones found documents in Alawadi’s car indicating she was planning to get divorced.

What’s more, Alawadi’s 17-year-old daughter seems to have been rebelling against her own forced marriage. According to court documents revealed in the New York Times, Alawadi’s eldest daughter, Fatima, was found in a car with a 21-year-old man. After her mother picked her up, Fatima said “I love you, Mom” and jumped out of the car going 35 m.p.h., sustaining injuries. While recovering in the hospital, Fatima told authorities that she was being forced to marry a cousin in Iraq — not the man with whom she’d been in the car.

And…

Kassim Al-Himidi, 49, faces charges of first degree murder in the beating of his wife, Shaima Alawadi, 32. On Thursday, he broke down in court as his daughter described finding her mother lying in a pool of blood.

Fatima testified that her parents’ marriage started experiencing trouble in August 2011. Things really got bad in January, she said.

Her mother had planned to get a divorce and move to Texas, Fatima said. She testified that her father saw the divorce papers and laughed at her mother. She said her mother was furious that he wasn’t taking her seriously.

Then after her mother’s death, Fatima testified she heard Al-Himidi say he had thrown objects out of his van “shoes and a metal thing.”

“He said yes, that he did throw it away because he was afraid that the cops will suspect it was him,” she testified

On Thursday, the victim’s brother, Hasseneen Alawadi, told NBC 7 he knows Al-Himidi is guilty.

“We know the truth, but it has to be proven here in court today. The truth is, Kassim Al-Himihi killed my sister,” said Hasseneen.

“When [Shaima] left home for two days [before her murder], she was coming to my house, to me and my other brother’s house, to run away from him [Al-Himidi],” he added.

On Friday, a judge ordered Al-Himidi to stand trial for the murder of his wife. The trial is set to begin next month. If convicted, Al-Himidi faces 26 years to life in prison.

But don’t expect CAIR to stop telling the same lies.

The Washington Free Beacon has a good piece on the islamophobia course at Berkeley:

Prof. Hatem Bazian

Critics of a professor on an American college campus claim that he is using assignments in class to indoctrinate students to oppose criticism of radical Islam.

Professor Hatem Bazian, who teaches at the University of California, Berkeley, is requiring his students to tweet weekly on Islamophobia, according to a column in the Toronto Sun.

 Several students said they were uncomfortable with the assignment and felt it was “unethical.” One student reportedly said, “I can’t help but feel this is unethical. This is his agenda, not mine.”

Another requirement of Bazian’s class, entitled De-Constructing Islamophobia and History of Otherness, is for students to get reactions from “people of color” on ads critical of radical Islam placed by Pamela Geller, author of the blog Atlas Shrugs.

 Geller said she believes Bazian is indoctrinating students.

 “The very idea that he is surveying ‘people of color’ about my ads is ridiculous and offensive. Jihad terrorism is not a race. The Islamic oppression of women, gays, and non-Muslims is not a race. What has Hatem Bazian ever said or done in defense of the non-Muslim ‘people of color’ who are victimized by Islamic jihadists in Nigeria, Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Pakistan and elsewhere?” Geller said in an email to the Free Beacon.

 Nonie Darwish, cofounder of FormerMuslimsUnited.com and the author of The Devil We Don’t Know; The Dark Side of Revolutions in the Middle East, said she is “glad that students found Professor Hatem Bazian’s assignment unethical and agenda-oriented.”

 Darwish, who escaped Sharia law, took issue with Bazian’s assignment for students.

 “Bazian appears to consider those who criticize Islam as Islamophobes. He is marking people like myself and many other former Muslims who escaped life under oppressive Sharia law as some kind of nuts who have unreasonable fear,” Darwish said.

 “American parents who get in debt to educate their kids are cheated with indoctrination instead of education of their kids,” Darwish said.

 Bazian said by email the Toronto Sun article was “ideologically driven.”

 “While I did see the initial article published on this topic which incorrectly, and I may say, underhandedly implied that I am forcing students to write positive comments about Islam or direct them on what they should write—that is totally false and the article is ideologically driven and not my own course.”

 Bazian said students are required to send one post a week on a topic related to the class.

 “They are graded on undertaking the posting, but not its content as they have the complete freedom on what topic or issues they would like to write.”

 Students in his class, according to Bazian, are welcome to make the “argument that Islamophobia does not exist and they are graded on the soundness of their argument and supporting evidence rather than the actual thesis statement they made.”

 The University of California, Berkeley did not respond to a request for comment.

 The Toronto Sun’s acting comment editor, Lorrie Goldstein, defended the column.

 “We have a wide range of columnists who express many views on a number of topics. Professor Bazian was contacted before this column ran by Tarek Fatah and his comments were included in the piece,” Goldstein said in an email.

 Goldstein said the “impetus for the column, as Fatah explains, was that a student in Professor Bazian’s class contacted him expressing concerns about the course content.”

 Bazian has a history of inflammatory comments. He called for an “intifada” in the United States before stating in an interview with Bill O’Reilly that the remarks were taken out of context.

 Bazian was also affiliated with KindHeart, a group shut down after it was suspected of raising money for Hamas. The Treasury Department found the group had ties to the terrorist group in 2006. Bazian was listed as a speaker for a KindHeart event to raise money for “Palestinians in agony.” The group just settled with the Treasury Department in 2012.
