A journalism professor at Lincoln University in Pennsylvania, who previously described the United States as the "Great Deceiver," is criticizing the "attempt to involve U.S. Muslims in London guilt," a reference to the July 7 terrorist attacks in England that killed at least 52 people and may have been the work of al Qaeda.
Dr. Kaukab Siddique, who also teaches English at the university named for Abraham Lincoln, is warning readers in his New Trend online magazine not to try to "appease the people in power by subservience, or 'uncle tomming.'"
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), one of the most vocal Muslim advocacy groups in the U.S., has sent condolences to the British people for the train and bus bombings that left 700 people wounded. CAIR also sent a delegation to meet with the British ambassador to the U.S. on July 8.
However, Siddique chided CAIR and the U.S. for not sending sympathies to Iraqi cities that were bombed or Afghans who were subjected to what he described as the American "reign of terror."
Apologies related to the London bombings are damaging to the self-respect and dignity of American Muslims because they imply that all Muslims are responsible, according to Siddique.
For Muslims who are "depressed" over CAIR's call to "kow tow to the embassy of an aggressive military power, which has occupation forces in two Muslim countries," Siddique offers the following advice: don't break the law, know your rights, pray, and if depression persists, go clean the bathroom at the local mosque.
Rabbi Abraham Cooper, associate dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, called Siddique's comments "beyond shocking" and "mind-boggling." Noting that New Trend Magazine also has a London address, Cooper wondered whether Siddique was "embracing the goal of the people who did this (London bombings).
"Where's the outrage?" Cooper asked. "These statements supply an insight into someone who cannot bring himself to condemn terrorism. Human instinct is to cry out against such outrages, but he's telling people to go clean the toilet."
Siddique has published controversial commentary on Jews, the Holocaust and armed jihad. As a leader of Jamaat al-Muslimeen (the Islamic People's Movement) International, Siddique has delivered some of these messages at mosques.
Siddique has authored a booklet that referred to America as the "Dajjâl," a term that is variously translated by Muslims as either the "Antichrist" or "Great Deceiver." Siddique has argued that previous Muslim efforts to link Israel to the anti-Christ were wrong, that the United States had to be the anti-Christ since it was providing Israel with so much financial assistance.
He has also labeled the U.S. the "Evil Empire" of our age. "Muslims must engage in jihad to defeat Dajjâl," he wrote, adding: "The ideas of guerilla warfare, denial of easy occupation to the enemy, and ability to use small weapons should be made available to every Muslim."
On a New Trend webpage dedicated to three female suicide bombers, Zionism is equated with "systematic genocide" and readers are urged to support a boycott of "major supporters of Zionism," including McDonald's, Coca Cola, Starbucks, Home Depot and Disney.
The Nazi concentration camp at Auschwitz is categorized as a "Jewish milk cow" by Siddique, which has "netted billions of dollars for Israel, owing to the pity it creates for Jews who run that terrorist entity."
While Siddique has publicly insisted that he does not oppose Jews "as a collective," a recent issue of New Trend warned that Jews today are the most powerful, the wealthiest and the most oppressive people in the world.
American Jews are among the "powerful negative forces" subverting freedom in the U.S., Siddique wrote. They control the media through a network of "communications experts and entertainers," such as Larry King, Ted Koppel, Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly. Also listed were the Washington Post, the New York Times and producers for the CBS News program, "60 Minutes."
Jews are also in control of international banking as well as the Bush administration, according to New Trend.
Within the pages of New Trend, Siddique has offered support for scholars Ernst Zundel and David Irving, who are among the most prominent writers denying that the Jewish Holocaust occurred. New Trend contends there is no evidence Jews were gassed and credits Irving with being "able to help people see the REAL Hitler, rather than the devil incarnate the victors have made him out to be."
Cooper, from the Wiesenthal Center, admitted that Siddique is "honest, open and it's all here on his website for all to read." But he added that Siddique is "a bigot, an anti-Semite and a Holocaust denier. He shows more concern for the goals -- if not the operational aspects -- of Islamic terrorists rather than to the innocent victims of terror."
The American Association of University Professors (AAUP) defended Siddique Monday when contacted by Cybercast News Service.
Jonathan Knight, director of academic freedom for the AAUP, argued that "however unpopular or distasteful the views of professors are, their freedom to express them is an essential condition of a truly free institution.
"What may be desirable is one thing. What is punishable is another," Knight said. He added that there was no evidence Siddique's views had entered his classroom at Lincoln University.
"If he had somewhat less radical ideas that gave someone offense, he would not be subject to admonishment either," Knight said.
Lincoln University, a historically black college 50 miles outside of Philadelphia, honors the "Great Emancipator," America's 16th president. Numerous African-American leaders, including the late Supreme Court justice Thurgood Marshall and the late poet and author Langston Hughes, were students at the school.
Neither Siddique, nor anyone at Lincoln University, responded to Cybercast News Service requests for comment for this article.
Why aren't people like this deported? Our system of internal self-protection is severely compromised, when enemies like this are permitted to live in America. Every single one of our founding fathers would roll over in their graves, if they heard and saw these things which are being done and said against our great nation at this time.
Don't we have laws against HATE SPEACH... Wouldn't the liberals go spastic if we used this against one of them?
But according to the news, it looks like Muslims did the bombings. Does the brilliant prof have anything else to say? I forgot, facts have no meaning to these nuts.
I see. And the apology Siddique is asking for from the U.S. isn't similarly damaging to our self-respect and dignity? Oh, that's different, isn't it?
Someone needs to take this POS out, permanently.

Ain't "diversity" grand?
I would hope this guy is on the "Watch List" that I'm sure exists.
Char
Feh.
Ptuuuie.
Geck.
Let's implant video/intelli chips in all Muslims to keep them under surveillance at all times.
Those who resist.....deport!
This is a joke, right?
How does a 7th century misfit end up teaching English at an American university?
If this clown is "naturalized", he's a fraud. What comes out of his camel hole is certainly no gratitude for the country that accepted him and allows him to make a living.
Time to question the administrators at Lincoln University.
We might start by asking them how many American professors teach at Sandmaggot universities. You think they have a clue?
Remember that terrorist disguised as a professor at University of Florida? The administrators were just fine with him until Bill O'Reilly unmasked him as a terrorist major fundraiser.
Maybe it's time to do it again?
...particularly at a Black university... you'd think that they'd have no tolerance for advocates of murder and oppression...
What's FCN?
Ok, I grew up in PA and I have never heard of Lincoln University. There are an awful lot of good schools in Pa, but this is one that I have never heard anything about.
He is in need of the proverbial hot lead enema..
lol!
Welcome To Hell
(Trace Adkins/Bobby Terry)
Come on in son have a seat
Don't mind the screams, don't mind the heat
It's been like this round here for a long, long time
We haven't had the chance to meet
But I've heard about you on TV
And I think we're gonna get along just fine
I can't help but notice
You look somewhat surprised
Did ya think son after what you've done
The Lord would let you slide
Welcome to Hell your new home
You did the crime now you'll do the time
Right where you belong
Welcome to Hell end of the line
Your final sin got you in
And now your soul is mine
Welcome to Hell
I hope for your sake you're the kind
That can stand to burn 'til the end of time
'Cause that's exactly what you're gonna do
There's some lots left on the lake of fire
Where we send your kind to retire
And I picked out a nice little hot spot just for you
I've got one last thing to tell ya
And let me make this clear
I don't know what you've been told
But there ain't no virgins here
Welcome to Hell your new home
You did the crime now you'll do the time
Right where you belong
Welcome to Hell end of the line
Your final sin got you in
And now your soul is mine
Welcome to Hell
Your final sin got you in
And now your ass is mine
Welcome to Hell
Welcome to Hell,boy
You're gonna love it
