IT stinks to high heaven how so many of these foreign born parasites with their Islamism and leftism have come to dominate some university departments. It's a welfare program for these America hating, Israel hating loudmouths.

Mid East studies departments are full of Muslims and foreigners. They are the majority, whereas 25 years a go American scholars were the Mid East professors.

Well the left used the charge of Orientalism to cleanse these departments. Orientalism is the charge that western studies of Eastern (particularly Mulsim) cultures as a inversion of Western culture. This "otherness" imposed on these non-Westerners supposedly forms the legitimacy of colonialism. Moreover, even supposedly "objective" study of these cultures merely creates propoganda or other tools for domination.

You must understand that to these people, objective facts and historical truths do not really exist (Deconstructionism). They are merely social constructs of the ruling class, meant to create cultural hegemony and preempt proper analysis by the intelligentsia or even self-awareness by the cultural proletariate. Hence, there is a need to free people from the false objectivity by means of Marcuse's Intolerent Tolerence. All sorts of revolutionary garbage and even deviationalism was and is allowed, so long as education can be a tool to mold students into the vanguard, and destroy the bonds of Western Society that have imposed a false social and cultural consciousness on the lower classes.
Effectively it is the charge of "Orientalism" that is the moral inversian and projection that allows the left to cleanse departments of their enemies by claiming that their opponents commited intellectual racism and cultural genocide, even if they do not realise it.
