A Saudi businessman has donated $10 million to Yale Law School to establish what school officials hope will become the country's top center for the study of Islamic law.

Abdallah S. Kamel made the award after meetings with university representatives including Yale President Peter Salovey. Kamel, chief executive of the Dallah Albaraka Group banking and real estate enterprise in Saudi Arabia, has sponsored a lecture series on Islamic law for the last three years.

Yale officials say the Abdallah S. Kamel Center for the Study of Islamic Law and Civilization reflects a growing interest at Yale and other institutions in Islamic law, history and culture.

Pay attention to just HOW MUCH the ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF and his IRANIAN SPY HATES CHRISTIANS !

This stinking piece of crap that's defiling our Oval Office is importing the Radical Islamists that will kill us.
When will congress get the guts tho IMPEACH, CONVICT and EXECUTE that ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF ? Also, don't forget this: I'll bet the ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF and his IRANIAN SPY are intending on EVERY ONE OF THEM to be used for importing a RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORIST !

UNHCR data confirms it: 75% of the so-called refugees arriving in Europe are MEN.

Oh my...this announcement comes one day after 9/11. I guess no one cares.

Can you imagine Yale opening a Shinto center while the US was still at war with Japan? FDR never would have let it happen. People who even suggested such a thing would have been thrown into prison.

Say what you want about FDR's domestic policies. But when it came to the war, he knew exactly who America's enemies were. Obama is no FDR in that respect. And what’s much worse, Bush was no FDR.

But they (the Jews) were deceptive, and Allah was deceptive, for Allah is the best of deceivers S. 3:54.

As I have said before, Islam is a false religion based on a false prophet, an epileptic, murderer, thief and child molester. Just like a false premise accepted as truth, Islam is the problem.

That’s really rich, isn’t it? But then, as we’re told over and over again, we’re not at war with Islam.

Fuch. That.

Just you wait. Sooner or later, course work from this Islamic Law Center will be required to complete a Yale law degree.

Is there a Law School in Saudi Arabia that will do the same for the West? Nah, the West is dumber than stupid to even ask that much less demand it.
