I did a search and didn't see this posted, forgive me if I missed it. I haven't been online in about 5 days because I caught the blue screen of death and my hubby just got my computer up and running again today. 5 days w/o FR is like a lifetime.

I read this in the paper this week and couldn't believe it. Apparently the "Islamic Seminar" Duke held last year was so successful they decided to create an entire studies center on Islam.

I have linked on a Militant Islam Monitor.org site that describes one of the advisory board members history. Just click on the name Farooq Kathwari, CEO of Ethan Allen Interiors toward the end of the article. Nothing of interest turned up on a simple Google search on the other board members. I admit I didn't take a lot of time on this though, I'm getting ready to go to bed and I'm tired but wanted to get this posted first.

I'm sure they will soon be sporting some of the worst anti-American leftists around, promoting what David Horowitz has aptly termed the "unholy alliance" of western academic leftists and terror-loving Islamists. They each think that by trying to work together to bring down freedom, democracy, and evil capitalism that their own vision will ultimately win out, but of course leftists and Islamists are always busy killing each other when there are not enough evil capitalists around to bash.

I once knew well a product of the PC-environment of Duke's Trinity College, and she was the dumbest POS academic I've ever known, and that's saying a lot. Yet, she had been lauded by Duke and several other supposedly "elite" schools...... I'm certain they will do well with their new center for defense and promotion of terrorism, er, I mean Islamic studies.

I think that this is a good thing. One of our weaknesses in the current war is our inability to gather accurate and timely intelligence from the Arab/Muslim world. The more people who study Islam, Arabic, Farsi, Pashtu, and study Arab culture (and Iranian and Pakistani culture, etc), the better off that we will be in the long run.

Aside from the obvious...we see yet another completely useless degree offerend. Set this one on the shelf beside "women's studies" and "black studies."

I suppose with this new degree you could at least become and imam and try to destroy Israel and the west.

I'll bet Saudi money is behind this, perhaps hidden.

Don't be alarmed folks. All that rumbling and trembling over around Durham is not an earth quake-it's Mr Duke rolling over in his grave.

Farooq Kathwari is an Indian of Kashmiri ethnicity who made it big in the US. What only a few of us in the international relations arena know about him is that his son joined an Al-Qaeda linked jihadist group in Pakistan and was killed while fighting Indian forces in Kashmir in the late 1990s or so. He is a dubious character.

One step closer to the death of the West (by suicide).

I wonder what will happen the first year some nice little suburban kid does their semester abroad and ends up getting kidnapped and beheaded?

Will that endowment cover the lawsuit?
