SAUDI BUSINESSMAN GIVES $10M FOR ISLAMIC LAW CENTER AT YALE
AP ^ | Michael Melia

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.

The only way that I’m okay with Yale taking the money is if they study and REFUTE it as Bastiat would

For many years Yale Law School had a good team of a hardcore identified Communist Party USA member as one of its top professors, Thomas I. Emerson (reportedly one of Hillary’s law profs), and his leftist sidekick Vern Countryman (both of whom I met at a key CPUSA legal front, then called the National Committee to Abolish HUAC/HISC, now known as the National Committee Against Repressive Legislation (NCARL).

Emerson’s red record goes back to the 1940’s, if not earlier, according to the Index and actual report series known as Appendix IX, put out by the Special Committee on Un-American Activities, 87th Congress, 2nd Session, “Appendix - Part IX, Communist-Front Organizations with Special Reference to the National Citizens Political Action Committee (Cumulative Index to all Sections of Appendix IX), 1944.

While Yale and Harvard have long had pretty good Middle Eastern studies programs, the influx of Arab money, esp. from Saudi Arabia, possible the UAE and Qatar, have made these two universities more susceptible to Sunni/Wahabbi Islam than ever before.

If you look at the number of pro-Jihadism, virulently anti-Semitic, and anti-Israel moslem professors on our campuses around the country, it will shock it.

Sources for this include MEMRI, www.FrontPageMagazine.com, Ralph Spencer, Daniel Pipes, and other writers/professors who monitor Islamic infiltration across the country.

It is far more extensive than you could ever imagine, and spreading like a bad jock rash.

I learned all I need to know about Islamic “law” on 9-11.

I personally witnessed 9/11. I saw the second tower on fire, then collapse. I saw the sky filled with fluttering white copy paper that at first, I thought was a horde of seagulls. I saw the dead-black smoke of burning aviation fuel in my windshield's view all the way home. I experienced the charnel house atmosphere in NYC. It was so oppressive, I hightailed it to Baltimore for the weekend.

I just read an article today after the Sabbath ended that when queried, high school kids did not know what caused 9/11. That they had already been brainwashed by libtards. History doomed to repeat itself.

Matters not. Yale long ago lost any standards they once had.

Islamic Law is Sharia - here’s Wikipedia’s simple explanation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharia

Sharia is what Islamists (like the Saudi donor) want to replace the US Constitution with. ISIS will have no problems getting more US recruits and silent supporters with the establishment of this official center. A huge win with Yale’s tacit acceptance of Sharia as the soon to be law of the land. Obama smiles.

this is not going to happen but the university should only except the money if Saudi Arabia allows the teaching Talmud law in there university...I am sick of all the people that says we should try and understand where the Muslim culture is coming from I know all ready they want to supplant all rule of law with sharia.

For the umty umph time, what is meant by Islam is the religion of peace is that when all the world becomes Islamic, there will then be peace.
And they don’t care how long it takes.

Seems infiltration of EVerythig is the preferred way now - no need for the sword.

Elihu Yale is rolling over in his grave....He founded Yale in Old Saybrook, CT in 1701.

We need to remember that there are at least TWO definitions of “peace.”

1. The absence of war or conflict. This is the one embraced by most free peoples of the world.

2. The absence of RESISTANCE to aggression, attack or policies, doctrines and ideologies with which one disagrees. This is the one held by most western liberals, communists (now called “progressives” and “Democrats”) and the islamofascists.

If the second definition prevails, it invariably leads to the third and final “peace” for the losers — that of the beheading sword, firing squad, bullet behind the ear, etc. and on to the graveyard or lime pit.
