''Islamic social justice asks every Muslim to respect others,'' the Gazette quoted him as saying. ''Islam is the religion of tolerance and forgiveness . . . of dialogue and understanding.''

But Harvard wasn't the only recipient of Zayed's largesse. And tolerance wasn't all he paid for.

Sounds like they are going to hold onto the money for the year, reap the interest, thenmaybe return it. (or hope it goes away)

Harvard will pull the Hillary dirty money trick: they will write a check in the amount and send it off to the guy. He will never cash it... but Harvard returned the money!

It would be a violation of Islamic law for bin Lauden family to receive interest on that money.

I was refering to Harvard keeping the interest, and returning the principle to the Bin Laden family. Alas, I do think that Havard will keep the money, and eventually, pander once again to the highest donor.
