The Trump administration is threatening to cut funding for a Middle East studies program run by the University of North Carolina and Duke University, arguing that it's misusing a federal grant to advance "ideological priorities" and unfairly promote "the positive aspects of Islam" but not Christianity or Judaism.

Personally I think foreign funds to any of our schools/colleges should be banned. Our major colleges/universities receive hundreds of millions of dollars over the years towards Muslim studies as well as buildings being built and named for Islam studies.

2019 through 2021 the Education Department has allocated nearly $7.5 million to 16 universities for Middle East studies and outreach per Title IV records.

In addition, the Muslim nations awarded $603 million to the 12 universities from 2011 to 2016.

Mr. President bann foreign donations of any kind to our schools and colleges.

The simple solution to the “Islamophobia” nonsense is to have Islam declared to be “a Political System seeking to replace the US Constitution”.

That is a statement to which all “believing” (i.e. truthful) Muslims would agree.

Then it could be dealt with as a subversive political ideology containing a religious component.

Your post is all anyone needs to know about the topic. I’ve been saying the same thing since 9/12.
