THe Muslim cleric has the same views as many Lefties in American academia: The U.S. is to blame for the attacks.

In fairness, students tend to be far less Left wing, at least before they are brainwashed as upper-classmen, than their professors, as demonstrated by a Yale Daily poll, where only 11% of those polled favored peaceful withdrawal, or the like, 85% were favorable or highly favorable to military and other U.S. policy in general.

E.g., a Faculty forum at Yale and the Harvard peace marches, where 500 students showed up to march for "eace' while only 50 showed up to march in support of the US policy. (This was the first week or so after 9/11.)

A faculty forum at Yale revealed taht all 7 speakers addressedd other causes of the 9/11 bombings on factors tother than terrorists getting on planes and flying into buildings.

A distinguished Humanities porf., Jerome Kagan, stood up nad criticized the panel & Yale for not getting someone to enunciate a different view, i.e., that it was really "terrorists flying planes into buildings" and Muslim extremism that caused teh attacks.

Clearly, the students have more common sense as a group than do the overwhelmingly Leftist faculty.
