Islamo-Correctness at Hartford Seminary
NAS ^ | Andrew Bieszad

Posted on 03/03/2011 11:07:05 AM PST by ventanax5

My story begins at Hartford Seminary (HS) in Hartford, Connecticut, a small Protestant seminary with the oldest Islamic studies program in America. HS’s Islamic studies program began through the influence of the Scottish Orientalist Duncan Black MacDonald in 1893, and it both employed and produced many well-known early twentieth-century Protestant missionaries, professors, and martyrs. HS is a model for the changes that have occurred in Islamic studies, as it turned from being the premier Protestant seminary for missions to the Muslim world into an institution promoting Islamization...

Hartford Seminary prides itself on its large number of Muslim students, both domestic and foreign-exchange. Among my first experiences with the Muslim students there was in a class on interfaith dialogue. I had done interfaith dialogue before, so this was not a new experience for me. We were separated into groups for the dialogue, and when I was permitted to speak, I said, “I am Catholic, and I do not believe in Islam.” Following me, one of the Muslim students spoke. She said that she was Muslim, and then she addressed me directly. In a soft, Arabic accented voice, she told me, “You are an infidel because you do not accept Islam” and that “according to Islam you do not deserve to live.” A second Muslim student heartily agreed, and after repeating the first student’s comments, she added that “in Islam, the Koran and the tradition of the prophet are very clear about this” and that “you deserve to die.”

Like I keep saying - Islam is unconstitutional and should be illegal in the United States.

Some of the greatest missionaries to Pakistan studied at Hartford Seminary during the 50s. As a teenager I was priviledged to have them stay at our house during their studies.

To me she understands her religion; as written in the Koran and Hadiths. Unfortunately most Infidels don't understand her religion.
That is as big a threat to us Infidels as Islam itself. - Tom

Liberals will kowtow to Islam because they know that they both hate Conservative, Capitalistic, American, Christian values and use each other for poltical and economic need (see unions/Farrakkan/Obama).

We need to view the following as enemies of the nation:

Muslims (100%)
Liberals/Socialists/Marxists/Progressives
Drug Cartels/Illegal Aliens

They need to be deported and never allowed on US soil.

Liberals are lunatic suicidal maniacs, like their Jihadist brethren, I support both of their demise.

The scary thing is that these people are not angry over poverty or antagonism over past colonial actions by the west, its strictly a hate filled single minded ideology. I don’t see any solution in the future, other than surrender to them or subjugate them.

You got that right.
This is a religion driven vendetta against Infidels, with the sanction of Allah - and the example set by Muhammed.

Numbskull Tony Blair thought it was about "grievances". But you never hear the soon to be dead Jihadists saying: "Die you Yankee dogs" or Long live Saudi Arabia etc.
They say "Allahu Akbar"! because that is the motivation for the act against us Infidels.- tom
