The Infiltration of Terror Supporting and anti-American Ideology into North American Universities: A case study

Sorry for the long thread, but trust me - it's worth it.
Seriously.

On September 26, 2001, (just fifteen days after 9/11), @SamiAlArian (a professor at @USouthFlorida) was a guest on the @BillOReilly show.

Prof. Al-Arian was asked about a statements he had made, saying that "Jihad is our path. Victory to Islam. Death to Israel. Revolution. Revolution until victory. Rolling to Jerusalem."

He could have taken his statement back.
He could have denied having made it.
Instead, he doubled down.

When asked about his call for the annihilation of Israel, Prof. Al-Arian's answer was, and I quote, "let me just put it into context."

It doesn't end there.

Five years later, Prof. Sami Al-Arian pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to contribute services to Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

Stop scrolling and think about that for a second:

A Professor at a major American University was arrested, pleaded guilty, and was deported for raising funds for the Islamic Jihad.

In prison, Prof. Sami Al-Arian used the same tactic that the imprisoned terrorists use in Israel.

He went on a hunger strike.

Guess who came to the defense of the person who just pleaded guilty to a terrorist conspiracy?

@amnesty International.

As part of his plea deal, Prof. Sami-Al Arian was deported to Turkey, where he could presumably be more effective working with the Islamic Jihad.

In Turkey, Sami Al-Arian founded The Center for Islam and Global Affairs (@cigaistanbul).

Here's an event in which they hosted Professor @JonathanACBrown from @Georgetown to talk about his book about Islam and Blackness.

(Remember this guy. He comes back later in the story)

Being a true gentleman, @SamiAlArian left his wife Nahla behind, so she could keep up the spirit of supporting terrorism in the U.S.

Here she is, last spring, in the illegal encampment at @Columbia University.

Columbia did not even issue a condemnation of her visit.

(as a side - Here's how @AP reported on her visit: They described Nahla as a "retired school teacher" and @SamiAlArian as someone "who had been prosecuted [...] on charges that he had given banned support [...] to a sanctioned Palestinian group",

They just omitted the fact that he had pleaded guilty and that the "sanctioned group" was a designated terrorist organization. )

Of course, @SamiAlArian also left his daughter @LailaAlarian behind.

Guess what she does for a living?

You guessed it: She's a journalist at no other than Qatari-funded @AlJazeera.

Guess where @LailaAlarian went to school?

You guessed it again: @Columbia School of Journalism (@columbiajourn).

But here's the really crazy part:

@LailaAlarian is married to @JonathanACBrown, a Professor of Islamic Civilization at @Georgetown School of Foreign Service (@georgetownsfs)

Remember him? That's the guy giving talks for the center run by a convicted supporter of terrorism.

So what does the son-in-law of a convicted supporter or terrorism teach and research at @GeorgetownSFS, a school that trains the future leaders of American and international politics?

In 2017, @JonathanACBrown gave a lecture at the International Institute of Islamic Thought (@IIITfriends) about Islam and slavery in which he stated that he doesn't think that “ it’s morally evil to own somebody".

He also justified rape as something that has been historically acceptable.

His response was, just like his terrorist supporting father-in-law's response, you need to look at the context.

washingtonpost.com/news/answer-sh…

The obedient son-in-law that he is, @JonathanACBrown routinely shows his support for Hamas, the PFLP, and the Palestinian Islamic on his social media.

Here he is, denying the massacre of October 7 *while it was ongoing*.

Again, stop scrolling and let that sink in for a moment:

The son-in-law of a convicted supporter of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad teaches at @Georgetown and openly supports the same terrorist organization.

In what world is that a morally acceptable thing?

So, what did we have here?

- A professor at @USouthFlorida who called for the annihaliation of Israel and who pleaded guilty to charges of terrorist conspiracy.
- A wife who openly supports @Columbia students who protest in favor of her husband's favorite terrorist organization.
- A @Columbia trained daughter who writes for the Qatari-funded @AlJazeera
- A @Georgetown professor son-in-law who openly supports terrorism, derides its victims, and finds ways to justify slavery and rape.

This is just a case study.

There are hundreds of other professors like these all across the U.S.

Professors like Rashid Khalidi at @Columbia who is still battling accusations of being a spokesperson for the PLO, a Palestinian terrorist organizations from the 70s, 80s, and 90s.

Something needs to be done.
