Harvard University Launches Fellowships in Islamic Law to Influence U.S. Policy
Breitbart ^ | December 25, 2016 | Thomas D. Williams

Posted on 12/25/2016 6:43:06 PM PST by kevcol

Harvard Law School has announced the launch of a series of paid fellowships for research on issues of Islamic law during the 2017-2018 academic year, aimed at influencing public discourse and U.S. policy on Sharia.

According to a recent email sent by the director of Harvard’s Islamic Legal Studies Program, Intisar Rabb, the launch of the new program comes “just in time” for the beginning of the Trump administration and has the goal of “building a community of Islamic law scholars in the academy” as well as informing “policy and media discourse about Islamic law.”

Harvard University has an endowment of over $36 billion.

In 2014, last year I could find, Harvard received $639 million in research grants from the US government.

The United States government has a cumulative deficit of $20 trillion.

Congress and the current POTUS cannot find any spending to cut in the federal budget.

It has occurred to this state university graduate:
1) Harvard can afford to fully fund its research out of its endowment.
2) Harvard’s progressive academics constantly rant about the rich paying what they can afford when it comes to taxes.
3) Harvard has the largest endowment of any university and is therefore the richest academic institution in America.
4) It is in the national interest for the United States to get its fiscal house in order and end profligate deficit spending.
5) Congress should immediately end all federal funding of research at Harvard. After, the institution is wealthy and can afford to fully fund its research activities. There is no compelling national interest in continuing federal subsidies for the rich.

Calling Mr. Trump, Mr. Ryan, and Mr. McConnell. Something for you to do after the swearing in on inauguration day. It should take less than 5 minutes to accomplish and you can immediately return to the inaugural festivities. Doing this would make a huge positive symbolic statement and be loudly applauded by the people who voted “R” in the 2016 election.

Islam must be extirpated from the USA for our survival.
Islam is not here to assimilate, but to dominate.

Submit or die.

If anyone studies it criticizes it as incompatible with our constitutional rule of law will he be allowed to expand upon his views and publish them or will he be punished and silenced at this “great” university?

No, they are like groupies or jock sniffers. They get an erotic high out of imagining slaughtering their enemies and feeling morally justified for doing so. Remember after the San Bernardino massacre the leftist media keep asking what the victims did to cause the shooting.

Shoplifters get a hand cut off (first offense)...or an arm cut off (second offense).

The sale of gloves in Chicago will go down.

No doubt. Progs envy Moslems in this regard, and they live vicariously through their atrocities. But their bedfellowship runs deeper than that -- they both have a reflexive aversion to individualism, liberty, responsibility, and Israel. ...among other things. Natural allies.

Its precisely why they ve been brought here. Its to destroy the nation. The evil and communist that exists in this nation is beyond anything we ve ever known. We have to remove every Muslim and the illegals in order to survive. I r a that simple.

Harvard really is full of ignoramuses. Their minds, no doubt, have astounding raw potential, but their emotions rule their lives. They have no regard for looking at opposing viewpoints or intellectual honesty.

We have to destroy the enemy. Both domestic and abroad. Harvard is the enemy. The media is the enemy act.

The US needs have some number of loyal islamic law scholars under a "know your enemy" doctrine.

Whether any of these people will be loyal is the question.

90% of our colleges & universities are our enemy......would be nice if it were only Harvard & Yale. Can’t think of one state school that is conservative.

Part of the Commie’s plans since the 30’s - and we just sat back and let them do it over 30 - 40 years....now they are so in control I see no hope for ever getting the propaganda mills out of their hands....ever......so the battle will rage on even if Trump is our POTUS for 8 years.......
