Unfiltered Jihadist Propaganda in Dhimmedia

Jeffrey Imm:

Individuals who are either members of or supporters of Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTO) (as designated by the U.S. State Department), are increasingly being represented in the U.S. news media's editorials, op-ed pieces, and other columns. FTO's Hizbullah and Hamas terrorist group figures are gaining unfettered access as columnists in major American newspapers, such as the Washington Post and the New York Times.

The Washington Post and Newsweek today has provided an online column for Hizbullah terrorist group supporter and religious leader Muhammad Hussein Fadlallah to discuss the nature of Jihad as a "defensive" struggle. The Washington Post column clearly describes Muhammad Hussein Fadlallah as a Hezbollah "supporter", stating that he is "a controversial figure known primarily for his support of the armed Shi’ite resistance movement, Hezbollah".

If you follow the link for the Hezbo's online column, you go to WashingtonPost/Newsweek. At the top of the page, there is the bio that Jeffrey Imm quoted, and another link, called "Details."

Follow that link, and you find yourself at the Berkley Center for Religion, Peace & World Affairs of Georgetown University.

The Berkley Center supports the interdisciplinary study of religion and its role in world affairs. It leverages Georgetown's Washington, DC, location, its academic strengths in theology, the humanities, and the social sciences, and its international partnerships to frame global policy challenges. The Center is at the heart of a university-wide effort to support interreligious understanding in two ways -- through deeper knowledge about the world's religious traditions and through promotion of interfaith dialogue and collaboration across faith communities.

Click on "more about the Center," and you get to what I was looking for.

The Berkley Center is at the heart of a university-wide effort to make Georgetown a global leader in the interdisciplinary study of religion and its role in world affairs. Other Georgetown centers and programs engaged in this effort include the Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding, the Program for Jewish Civilization, and the Catholic Studies Program. The Office of the Vice President for Mission and Ministry coordinates a variety programs designed to advance interreligious understanding within the Georgetown community and beyond.

I don't know if anybody can - or wants to - follow all this, but the upshot is that at first I was relieved that the Berkley Center, which has something to do with the Hezbo in the Washington Post, was not in fact the Prince Alwaleed Center. You'll remember that this Saudi prince Alwaleed gave Georgetown and Harvard Universities $20 million each in December 2005, and offered NYC $10 million in 2001, which was turned down by Giuliani.

But then I thought about it. No, the Saudi Prince isn't directly related to the Hezbo in the Washington Post, but isn't it even worse that there are two "centers" pushing Islam at (one) Georgetown University? I can't delve further into these websites right now because 1) I'm discouraged and 2) I dread what I might likely find there.

Whoops, too late. Found something already: Center Announces Launch of Professional Development Workshops for Educators

The Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Center for Muslim Christian Understanding at the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University announces that it is offering a series of full and half-day professional development workshops funded by Saudi Aramco Corporation for teachers from elementary through high school.

Kind of ties in to something I blogged earlier today, doesn't it? But wait, there's more! The two centers work together! Check it out:

On Monday, 12 February, the Berkeley Center for Religion, Peace and World Affairs and the Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding sponsored the event: "Promoting Peace and Tolerance through Madrasa Renewal"

I will leave you with these words from the speaker at the event:

Johnston emphasized that madrasa teachers and parents of students are not unlike teachers and parents around the world. “They all care about doing the best they can for their kids.”

I wonder if he got that from Condi Rice, or vice versa?

"I just don't believe mothers want their children to grow up to be suicide bombers. I think the mothers want their children to grow up to go to university."

This garbage is EVERYWHERE ... see even National Geographic:

What did you learn about the women behind these terrible bombings?

What we found in talking to the [bombers'] families and people in the community—and I want to limit this to the women whose stories we looked into—all of them had very traumatic personal stories and issues. Those things, combined with the horrors of living under occupation, could have provoked them to act.

Okay, that does it. I quit. I'm disgusted. Time to do something (anything) life-affirming. Like make dinner. We may have lost the war before we ever even fought it, but I still get hungry from time to time.

I tried to post the following on the Newsweek/Wapo site in response to them giving space and recognition to terrorists right here in the good old USA: "Since when do terrorists get a column in a major American news outlet? The last are indeed being treated as if they were the first. But then I have to remember that they gave a Nobel pace prize to the abominable child-molesting terrorist arafart. I can't wait for Rudy.. and Bibi.." No wonder they refused to let me post this. They're a bunch of pinko whiner liEberals! Let us pray for Israel and a Jerusalem UNDIVIDED!
