Wayne State Prof Peddles Fake Islamic History
American Spectator ^ | April 5, 2019 | Harry Onickei

Do Muslims and Jews have a “shared future” in the U.S. based on a shared past? For the past four years, two Wayne State University academics, Howard Lupovitch and Saeed Khan, have held an annual lecture series entitled “A Shared Future.” Lupovitch, who is Jewish, is associate professor of history and director of the Cohn-Haddow Center for Judaic studies; Khan, a Muslim, is a lecturer in several departments, including Near Eastern and Asian studies. The first of the three lectures in the series was recently held at the Muslim Unity Center in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan.

Of the hundred or so people in the audience, the vast majority were Jewish. Lupovitch and Khan, being good friends, sparked a jovial atmosphere, kibitzing throughout their introductions. Although a stated aim of the lectures was to “connect members of both demographics through exploring hot-button topics,” Khan made outlandish claims for a Muslim history in the New World based more on Islamic supremacism than facts. He was aided by Lupovitch, who not only failed to challenge Khan’s patently false tales, but asserted that “parallels and similarities” exist between Jewish and Muslim immigration to the U.S.

The audience proved equally pliable. Charmed by Khan’s humor and commentary on pop culture, no one challenged such whoppers as “Muslims have encountered America… since the tenth century… and had rather amicable relations with the indigenous people here. But it also shows at the time that migration was not a priority [but] was simply too far for them to try… to then govern it and control it.… What it did, though, is create new commercial routes.” Turkey’s Islamist president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has advanced the same propaganda as part of his anti-Western, supremacist worldview.

Islam was responsible for the discovery of America. Europe wanted to find a way around lands infected with that evil cult. Sad that Europe is now inviting in the invader which they have struggled for 14 centuries.

Until muslims repudiate completely the koran, specifically the killing of “infidels”, there will be no peaceful coexistence with the lying savages.

Their future coexistence will be very violent if it’s anything like their past.

Uh, no. They've never had rather amicable relations with anyone, anywhere.

Islamic psyops. These determined scum will hoodwink the gullible with every trick imaginable. They are snakes. Look how they packaged this operation - one Muslim and a Jew.
