Incredible.......... too bad we can't have a bunch of freepers sign up for these classes - that would be something to watch, huh?
How 'bout we just give this pimple a blanket party in the parking lot. :)
Strip him of his citizenship and deport him. No Tenure for Idiots. This their game plan. Ultimate goal the destruction of Isreal and the US if necessary. They want to bring us down to the Third World Level.
Out of the UN, No KYoto. Seal the borders.
"He doubts the existence of Al Qaeda and questions the role of Osama Bin Laden in the attacks."
Can there be any doubt that this mentality is capable of supporting a terrorist cell?

Paging Bill O'Rielly, Mr. Bill O' Rielly, of the O'Rielly Factor -'we have another professor to take down, care to help? Talk about what appears to be terrorist supporters, the jerks at Columbia University reflect all the trimmings associated with the PA. Time for a freep! Wish I was out there, but this is being entered from Utah, darn.......
terrorist in the USA should be treated NO BETTER than terrorist in IRAQ -- shot on site!
Could you sit thru that crap without doing something illegal? God bless you and your self control if you could.
Columbia continues to free fall into hell as a worthless luantic lefty driven institution.
It is surprising to me that such an anti-Semitic operation could be set up in the heart of New York City.
Why yes.
Actually, Dabashi is a tenured professor and department chairman at Columbia University. And his views have resonated and been echoed in other areas of the university.
The university especially among the professors is where you find the crackpot fringe. I put much of the blame on the fact that Logic and Rhetoric are no longer taught as subjects. The closest thing we have to a Logic class is Mathematics where, unless math is your bag, it is unlikely to sink in. Rhetoric is most useful because it not only teaches you how to present your ideas in a logical and persuasive way but it also allows you to see flaws in the other guys argument and recognize the tricks when he tries to use them.
The students go in with no training in these areas and are simple skulls full of mush waiting to be imprinted. Once they leave college they usually get real life training which is usually quite painful. But the Professors never go into this real life, they remain in school where their ideas and authority are unchallenged. So universities are hot beds of crackpot-ism and the professors are the high priests.
I strongly disagree. As an alumnus I look at the events described in this article as shocking and shameful. However, it seems to me a renegade department rather than symptomatic of the university as a whole.
Don't forget, Anne Bayefsky, who is a highly-visible spokesman for justice and decency in the Middle East, was a visiting professor there last year (I am not sure whether she is there now). She has publicly reviled the UN for its hypocracy.
And the Israel divestment petition went down in flames after an anti-divestment petition got 10 times the signatures (it was something like 3,000 to 30,000).
I am grateful that the stench from the Middle Eastern Studies department is being exposed to the light of day. As they say, sunlight is the best disinfectant.
Hamid Dabashi! GO HOME!!! We don't want you here!
It was only after joining the Birch Society that I discovered the bizarro world of America's walled-off ideology wherein Zionism is considered "Leftist" and the ally or source of Communism. This ideological blindness applied not only to the Far Right but to the American Left as well, since domestic Jewish liberals seemed absolutely certain that support for Castro and the Sandinistas was ideologically consistent with Zionism.
Unfortunately, what many supporters of Israel still don't seem to understand is that this epidemic of "hate" has been going on for a long time against countries that stood in the way of the Left's plans. And too often, liberal "supporters of Israel" were among those engaged in these Leftist crusades (which reinforced the anti-Zionist Right's beliefs). What we are witnessing now is not a new situation but rather one where Israel is the only one of those countries still standing, and there is no other country left to attract Leftist hatred. And the Leftist "lovers of Israel" seem so absolutely surprised. How can anyone be so dense?
I can understand the previous victims of the Left reacting with "where were you when we needed you?" There are still liberals out there who are making stupid statements to the effect that until ten minutes ago anti-Zionism was limited to the anti-Communist Right. Bull-hockey. But while these Communist vermin must be combatted, it is most unfortunate that so many "lovers of Israel" refuse to recognize that the beast they are combatting is one they themselves fed for years in hopes that it would eat them last.
Well guess what, folks? It's your turn now. The least you could do is quit acting as if this were a new phenomenon when it has been the same one so many of you have foolishly supported for decades when the target was someone else.
I am sooooo glad I am out of college!
Tuition $$$ doesn't grow on trees. Many of these students are working part or full time to cover it, or it's their parents who are working full time and mortgaging their homes to pay for the high tuition to attend university.
Colombia, and most other colleges and universities simply don't have the guts to reign in these morons. These "professors" are paid to "teach" not have a "subjective opinion" about a subject or topic. Somehow they think they are "entitled" to the latter because of their tenure.
The bottom line is money. The universities refuse to part with any of it, and will do anything for it. Perhaps if parents (and students) keep this in mind when they decide to enroll in class, these treasonous morons might be spitting in the wind instead.
Why would parents send their children to a university that lectures such hateful garbage?
Are there any professors in that department that aren't foreign nationals? It seems to me that at least some of these people should be investigated by the government and kicked out of the country.
