UC Berkeley: A Safe Harbor For Hate
In support of a fellow protestor charged with felony assault on a police officer, Hatem gets to the real reason for the charges.
If you want to know where the pressure on the university [i.e., to prosecute the trespassers who were arrested] is coming from, look at the Jewish names on the school buildings." (UC Berkeley is a state institution whose main buildings are Sproul Hall, Dwinelle Hall and Wheeler Auditorium.

Students Express Anti-War Sentiments at Rally
Hatem Bazian, a UC Berkeley lecturer and director of the Al-Qalam Institute for Middle Eastern Studies, said the United States poses a greater threat to the world than Iraq because it is the only country in the world that has used nuclear arms in war.
"In this university and institutions of higher learning, we have been responsible for more weapons of mass destruction than Iraq has ever dreamed about," he said.

Reports of last year's exhortations to "kill the Jews" by organizers like UC Berkeley professor Hatem Bazian and featured guest of honor, Sami Al-Arian, currently in federal prison as a leading fundraiser for Islamic Jihad, have not slowed this event down a bit.

Proposed by the Special Committee on Regents' Procedures, the change was suggested after September's board meeting was disrupted three times by student protesters and ultimately closed to the public, regents said yesterday.
During one of the day's speeches, UC Berkeley student Cesar Romero verbally threatened regent Ward Connerly, who initiated the move to eliminate university affirmative action programs.
Connerly commented on the proposal to cut back public comment time yesterday, saying, "It is long overdue."
"We have allowed ourselves to become a human punching bag," Connerly said. "I, as one regent, was among the leaders to say we should open up the meetings." Members of student groups who support affirmative action said yesterday the regents' proposal to limit public comment shows their efforts to pressure the board have been successful. "I think it just shows they are reacting to the political pressure that students have put to the board of regents," said Diversity in Action member Hatem Bazian.

"If it is passed, people will close down California Street as symbolic of California's future and in an attempt to send a clear message of opposition to closing affirmative action," said graduate student Hatem Bazian, coordinator of UC Berkeley's affirmative action coalition.
For Bazian, who has addressed the regents during several past meetings, Wilson's attendance may make the difference for the board, which he feels is split 50-50 on the issue.
"However, any narrow-margin vote is sending a signal that the institution is split on the issue. The only way Wilson can declare a victory is by a solid vote," Bazian said, adding that students will request an injunction from the courts to keep the policies from being implemented if they pass.
A major perversion of the PC culture is that free speech means elevating to positions of respect viewpoints that would have been very incorrect within the context of the previously meanstream views of society. A jerk like Hatem wouldn't have gotten a teaching position, and hardly anyone would have listened to him--he'd have been shouted down and the FBI would have been all over him.
Because of the current PC perversion of free speech, he gets a pass, and even a boost. Because of our lax student visa and immigration policies, he also gets an enthusiastic audience and good reviews from Islamic students. This is a disease we have brought on ourselves; the cure is going to be painful and unpleasant.
In other words he's an Islamic propagandist and fifth columnist.
What he's advocating is sedition and he should be kicked out of the country.
