9/11 Conspiracist Cleared To teach course on Islam This Fall
Human Events ^ | 8-31-06 | Amanda Carpenter

Posted on 08/31/2006 2:47:16 PM PDT by nancyvideo

This fall, Barrett, a Muslim, who believes the September 11 terrorist attacks were secretly conducted by U.S. government, will be paid $8,247 by the University of Wisconsin to teach a course titled, “Islam: Religion and Culture.”

Barrett recently told Sean Hannity that he thought it was “really important to cover these political issues and one of them, of course, the so-called ‘war on terror.’ Now, the fact is that the great majority of the world’ Muslims believe that 9/11 was an inside job.”

Since this appearance on the Hannity Show, the University of Wisconsin conducted a search on Barrett’s record and has cleared him to teach the course this fall.

Maybe they want to see who signs up for the course, eh?

Will Michael Rivero be a guest speaker for the class field trip?

He, his wife and his two young boys now live in university housing. Although he is not trained in Muslim studies, the Chicago Tribune said “administrators felt he had the background for the course, having taken it as a student and worked as a teaching assistant for several semesters.”

Your tax dollars at work.

What the heck is a "thermite rod"- a typo?

Do these bozemen claim the those same "thermite rods" felled the jet over the PA field, and the Pentagon, as well? They probably think the US Moon Landing was phony, but Castro's Cuba is a "paradise". Yeah, right ...

More and more American universities seem to be the seat of anti-American fanaticism. They do maintain diversity though; you can major in Islamo-fascism or Marxist fascism.

(For a great exegesis on the mindset of fanatic elitists see my homepage.)

.... then it is also a FACT that "the great majority of the world's Muslims" are, like too many secular leftists in the west, babbling psychotic morons who believe any pap served up to them by their vacuous "leaders" and media so long as it's convenient to their depraved ideology.

If these kooks think the US government planned and executed 9/11, why aren't they scared to show their faces in public?

Compared to 9/11, taking out a wacky professor would be a breeze.

We are quickly running out of time. With the impending November elections looking like the DUrats regaining control of both houses of Congress, the clock is ticking even quicker. Not that the GOP has done a sparkling job but just think of how far DUrats in control would set us back.

Izlamothugz are THE threat to the U.S. Don't believe that Religion of Peace crappola.

A great majority of Muslims believe that the Jews are scum that should be removed from the face of the earth. I wonder if that will be mentioned in this so called teacher's class?

he maintains he was framed

Question:

Is CAIR going to offer a reward for information as to the identities of the real perps behind 9-11?

The list of things Muzzles believe that are totally ridiculous is a large one indeed.

And who cares what they think, anyway, "professor"? They still want to kill us no matter who did 9/11.

"Your state tax dollars at work?"

Well, I'm pretty poor, so I pay little in state taxes, but I get your point. I did just turn down a state job that was offered to me. I got to thinking about it, and in essence, I'd just be paying myself through my own tax dollars...and I can't afford me, LOL!

Thanks for the ping. I'll alert the troops. :)

Off topic, but might be of interest. Nothing happening till hunting season other than buying shock collars for the wolves.

Diana, this is a coup for Madison. Experts that pin 9/11 on the Zionists are a dime a dozen. An expert pinning it on GWB, with credentials (dog ate them, like the homework), a coup. And for less than 10 grand. Can't hire an illegal apple picker for that.

I have a friend who teaches law at UW Madison's law school.

He went to Harvard Law School, was on law review, and clerked for a U.S. Supreme Court justice. He's a brilliant guy.

He just found out that he was denied tenure. Why? Well, reading between the lines, it seems as though he was a little too conservative for the UW faculty.
