Harvard's Islamic embrace

In the wake of the September 11 attacks, President Bush asked the nations of the world to decide if they are "with us" or "with the terrorists." He might consider asking the same question of Harvard University.

Despite the current war, Harvard continues to ban ROTC from its campus. Alone among student groups, ROTC is not permitted to use university facilities or advertise on campus. At the same time, radical Islamic student groups operate freely, have held on-campus fund-raisers for terrorist front groups and had one of their leaders selected as a commencement speaker.

This is outrageous!

[umgud]

Too often, too many of our colleges, foment anti-American activities. These are the people who influence our young.

[Nachum]

How to make change at Harvard?

[Paul Atreides]

I am of the opinion that people who hate our country that much, citizenry included, should be thrown out, lock, stock, and barrel. Let them go live in that paradise they keep telling us about, known as Cuba.

[Demosthenes]

Stop sending them money.

[PsyOp]

I'm not suprised. It's a law school that has trained some of the most outraegous and effective courtroom terrorists of all time. It's now wonder they shun an organization that promotes such things and honor, loyalty and responibility in favor of murderers.

      Students in [Harvard's ROTC] program end up feeling like second-class citizens.

THAT is how them turkeys perceive the flight of US Eagles?

Unfortunately, not sending money has little effect. Harvard has an enormous endowment, and the real source of money coming in is federal research contracts and associated overhead reimbursement payments. Alumni contributions no longer loom large.

There is more for a wall of shame:

Zayed Yasin, Harvard graduate, prepares to deliver an address titled "My American Jihad" on Harvard graduation ceremony.

Andras Riedlmayer, Harvard librarian on Aga Khan Foundation payroll, shills for Osama Bin Laden allies in Bosnia and Kosovo

Shut the damn university down. We don't need it. Besides aren't they one of the universities that keeps passing out "A's}" to non deserving students?

Students in the program end up feeling like second-class citizens. Charles Cromwell, student commander of Harvard's ROTC battalion, told the Wall Street Journal that he feels "uncomfortable walking around in uniform" at the school.

I remember feeling uncomfortable on the occasions in the 1970's when I showed up in uniform at Harvard Yard. But I did it anyway. I was making a point.

By the way, this article does not mention the fact that Prof. Richard Thomas, the head of the committee that chose that Islamist Yasin to be a commencement speaker, has called for Harvard's disinvesting from Israel.
