Excerpt from Mr. Alexander's online essay "Islam: The Enemy of Democracy and Freedom": Wake up to the harsh realities of life in the twenty-first century! We've got some collective thinking to do if we wish to save ourselves from darkness. Perhaps we shall, indeed, be forced to think about having to re-classify Islam as a political system first and foremost...[T]o give complete, unhampered freedom to Islam to grow here in the West is tantamount to digging our own graves.

Promoting Islam At Georgetown University

(All emphases by Always On Watch)



From The Avid Editor's Insights, on March 10, 2008:

Check out this amazingly illuminating post by konservo

“Researchers” From Gallup Center for Muslim Studies and Georgetown University Publish a “Study”: ”

Georgetown University has been hard at work producing a new ‘study’ to show us infidels how it is really our fault that Islam has been given a bad name.

After all, we are not respecting Islam, and Muslims are a sensitive bunch.

Here are some key points:

• Muslims and Americans are equally likely to reject attacks on civilians as morally unjustifiable.

• Large majorities of Muslims would guarantee free speech if it were up to them to write a new constitution and they say religious leaders should have no direct role in drafting that constitution.

• Muslims around the world say that what they least admire about the West is its perceived moral decay and breakdown of traditional values — the same answers that Americans themselves give when asked this question.

• When asked about their dreams for the future, Muslims say they want better jobs and security, not conflict and violence.

• Muslims say the most important thing Westerners can do to improve relations with their societies is to change their negative views toward Muslims and respect Islam.

Georgetown.edu

You see, according to the ‘research’ gathered for this ‘study,’ it turns out that if we, as Freedom-loving Westerners, had merely turned a blind eye to the atrocious actions and ideological reasoning behind Islamic terrorism around the world along with the concomitant lack of denunciation (which is easily interpreted as quiet approval) from Muslim groups (e.g. MAS and CAIR supporting HAMAS), and rather if we had decided to give up that Freedom which we so cherish and instead submit and give out respect to a religion that has been spread by the sword since its conception, that is what it would take to improve relations between Americans and Muslims, and again, this is according to the ‘research’ found in this ‘study.’

Oh… also,

About Georgetown University:

A $20 million gift from a Saudi Arabian prince to a Georgetown University academic center has not affected its scholarly work, Georgetown’s president said in response to questions from a U.S. congressman

…

U.S. Rep. Frank Wolf (R-VA), wrote to DeGioia Feb. 14, saying he was concerned about Prince Alwaleed’s gift to Georgetown’s Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding (which was renamed in the prince’s honor) and the affect it had on research. Has anyone at the Center conducted research critical of Saudi educational or human rights policies? Wolf also asked whether the money fueled any of the school’s training of current and prospective U.S. Foreign Service personnel.

‘[A]ll of us at Georgetown University take very seriously the importance of protecting academic freedom,’ DeGioia wrote. ‘I want to assure you that I am completely confident that the Center’s work, to borrow your words, ‘maintains the impartiality and integrity’ that we expect of all research conducted at Georgetown University.’

The response misses the point, said Martin Kramer, former director of the Moshe Dayan Center for Middle Eastern and African Studies at Tel Aviv University and a fellow at Harvard and the Washington Institute for Near East Policy…

‘No one at such a center could possibly specialize in contemporary Saudi policy, because to do so objectively would not sit well with the Saudi princes who make the gifts,’ Kramer said in an e-mail exchange. ‘Replicate this a hundred-fold across academe, at universities that would also like $20 million for Islamo-this-or-that, and you have killed off the critical study of Saudi Arabia in the academy. This is no small achievement: the political structure and social norms of the Kingdom are not of the sort that endear themselves to the ‘progressives’ in our universities. But the academics are silent, because they hope and pray that someday, their prince will come.’

Investigative Project on Terrorism

It seems to me that the ‘study’ could very well be the result of Saudi-funded Islamo-this-or-that in an American university. Such a shame.

It's a shame, all right. In fact, it's worse than a shame.

Funded by bucks from Saudi, the home of Wahhabism, we are training the next generation in Islamophilia and continuing the whitewash of Islamism at one of our most respected institutions of higher learning. And we're selling out Western civilization in the process.

It's later than we think, folks.

We in the United States need not look across The Pond and gloat that we are smarter than Europe with regard to the Islamification of the West. We're allowing the camel's nose into the tent right here. Judging from the present fad of Islamophilia we're standing by and letting more than the camel's nose has intruded. It seems to me that the camel will take over the entire tent not too far in the future — oh so quietly.

1. Janet Levy is the founder of ESG Consulting, an organization that offers project management, fundraising, promotion, event organizing and planning services for conservative political causes and issues related to terrorism and national security. An index to her articles at Front Page Magazine is HERE and at American Thinker HERE. Excerpt from Janet Levy's most recent article, "The Fallacy of Shared Values," at American Thinker:

...[A]n examination of the intersection of Islam and traditional Western or Judeo-Christian societies reveals very little evidence of any "shared values." Instead, glaring conflicts between the two are evident in the role and practice of religion in society, the concepts of moral behavior, the value of human life, personal responsibility and civil and legal rights....

Read the entire article.

2. GM Roper of the blog site GM's Corner is a licensed professional counselor. He recently had one of his essays published at Pajamas Media. Excerpt from GM Roper's "Will Texas Hispanics Abandon Hillary for Obama":

“Si, se puede,” once again rings out in the Rio Grande Valley of South Texas. El Valle as it is known to those of us living here, hasn’t heard the phrase since the days of Caesar Chavez and the United Farm Workers.

This time, “Si, se puede” or, in the Obama lexicon, “Yes, we can” is the new slogan for Senator Barack Obama (D. Ill.) running for the Democrat nomination for President. And chasing him with blood in her eye is Senator Hillary Clinton (D. N.Y.) who has lost the last 11 races.

Obama is a phenomenon not seen in South Texas for decades....

Read the entire essay.

3. Pastorius is one outspoken infidel! You can read his profile HERE. He is also the host of his own radio show, Where We Rock, Roll, and Celebrate All Things Infidel. Both WC and I are proud to call Pastorius our brother-in-arms and our friend. We will discuss with him the founding and purpose of Infidel Bloggers Alliance and Barack Obama's campaign.

Listen to The Gathering Storm Radio Show this week to hear political and cultural analysis from Janet Levy, GM Roper, and Pastorius.
