[Undermining the Constitution and the US legal system -Sharia Step #1 (my comment)]

Harvard Law School has announced the launch of a series of paid fellowships for research on issues of Islamic law during the 2017-2018 academic year, aimed at influencing public discourse and U.S. policy on Sharia.

According to.... Harvard’s Islamic Legal Studies Program, Intisar Rabb, the launch of the new program comes “just in time” for the beginning of the Trump administration and has the goal of “building a community of Islamic law scholars in the academy” as well as informing “policy and media discourse about Islamic law.”

Fellows will receive a stipend of up to $5,000 per month and are expected to promote the development of policy papers “at the intersection of Islamic law and relevant issues of U.S. policy.” These policy papers will include short commentary on recent cases or other Islamic law sources, longer policy briefs, or op-eds, according to the law school website.

Harvard’s SHARIAsource Portal has amassed a [global] digital library of Sharia case law..., 25 editors - 21 institutions (6 [foreign].) and 1711 primary sources- 18 different countries. 902 Sharia court cases, 541 legislative acts and 251 Fatwās.

... Sharia Research Fellowship Program will provide opportunities for scholars to conduct research on “policy-related aspects of Islamic law,” and Harvard will provide them with a workspace, Harvard Law Library privileges, and their stipend.... encouraging applications especially from “women, minorities, and citizens of all countries.” [It's] inviting visiting fellows to undertake research, writing, and scholarly engagement on Islamic law that furthers the Program’s mission.

... Program is promoting research in migration refugee studies, environmental law, climate change, minority rights, animal welfare and human rights..... Islamic Legal Studies Program shares the “exciting news” of the launch, while inviting them to share the news widely.

Look-out. Fellows will earn $60,000 per year to undermine the United States Constitution and 240 years of sound American jurisprudence.

Harvard Law School - was one of the preeminent centers of legal education in the world. Now led by a DIVERSE and dedicated group of hateful insurgents that aim to conquer America with islamic political ideology and implement sharia law.

If this doesn't churn your stomach, nothing will.

long past time for a thorough clean-out of the seditious filth in some of “our” country’s colleges....
put a few of the most dangerous ones in prison, especially from the “ivy league” or other “prestigous” schools....like Harvard, Columbia, UCalifornia, etc.,...and much of the sedition will die down. A lot of the problem comes from the inbred sociological syndrome found on many college campuses...where each person’s political views are constantly tested and rewarded/punished right on site

It’s sad how many people in this world who will get down on their knees and let a Muslim decapitate them. It’s even sadder how many of them will be surprised

Just like Jesse said

“Stay out of da Bushes”

we need to

“Steer clear of the Ivies” - they’re poisonous.

some college campuses are patrolled for political viewpoints just like Communist Parties patrol political views block by block, locally within cities, with ‘block political chairmen’ always watching, always testing for your opinions

same for some college campuses in what used to be the land of liberty USA

this seditious anti-American “culture” has to be eliminated if our kids are ever going to get good quality, honest educational opportunities again

Have you forgotten? Elena Kagan was at Harvard and set up the Sharia Law Center with millions of dollars from Saudi Arabia. She was then allowed on the SCOTUS with the help of Republicans and Obama.

I occasionally wonder if Civil War might have been more prudent and necessary.

I will not well tolerate another 4 to 8 years of this metastasized nonsence.

The leaders of the United States of America are hell bent on destruction it appears.They are going to destroy America or bust the gates of hell trying. All because they hate the God of the Bible. I just hope and pray that I am dead and gone before they are able to bring this about.

Hey guys, if you want to apply——

The deadline for applications is rolling. An initial deadline is Monday, January 9, 2017. Late applications will be considered.

To apply, please send a letter of interest, including a short description of proposed research, four to six topic areas for consideration as commentaries that link Islamic law and policy, details on whether you are seeking one or two semesters, and a CV to pberan@law.harvard.edu, Executive Director, SHARIAsource at Harvard Law School.

Suggested topics of interest:

1.Taqiyya-There are several forms of lying to non-believers that are permitted. Harvard, this is an affront to God and our American culture. Lying to advance the cause of Islam and to gain the trust of non-believers in order to draw out their vulnerability and defeat them is the work of Satan.

2.Raping and more raping or sodomizing of wives, girl friends, daughters, sons, all children and any animate orifice. Harvard, this is another affront to God and our culture.

Harvard desperately needs to change its name (Reverand John Harvard is rolling in his grave at how Satanic his namesake school’s become)

and while they’re at it, they should pull down his statue (send it somewhere where it will be much more comfortable than on the campus of a bunch of the Devil’s Legions)

and change the college shield (”Veritas”— truth now has NOTHING to do with the school, just the contrary)

a little honesty in branding would help a lot..

Is this appointment consistent with their original charter?

Courtesy of soulofthesouth:

Harvard University has an endowment of over $36 billion.

In 2014, Harvard received $639 million in research grants from the US government.

The United States government has a cumulative deficit of $20 trillion.

Congress and Obamism cannot find any spending to cut in the federal budget.

1) Harvard can afford to fully fund its OWN research out of its endowment.
2) Harvard’s progressive academics constantly rant about the rich paying what they can afford when it comes to taxes.
3) Harvard has the largest endowment of any university and is therefore the richest academic institution in America.
4) It is in the national interest for the United States to get its fiscal house in order and end profligate deficit spending.
5) Congress should immediately end all federal funding of research at Harvard. It can afford to fully fund its research activities. There is no compelling national interest in continuing federal subsidies for the rich.

Cut Harvard out and stop funding this Mr. Trump, Mr. Ryan, and Mr. McConnell.

Throw every Muslim out of America. The Europeans knew all about Muslims in the 14-17th centuries as some 3.5 million Europeans were kidnapped by Muslims, then either ransomed or they were sold into slavery,beheaded, or converted. Thomas Jefferson understood this as did Europeans back then. Europeans have forgotten and our left damn sure has. the Koran is not compatible with our constitution. Throw the SOBS out now.

The Saudi’s have been shoveling money into our academic systems since the first Bush administration - conversion via corruption. This hasn’t been a secret.

Well, in the interest of inclusiveness and fairness, I’m waiting for the announcement of Fellowships in Christian Law.

Who gives a #### about sharia law?!?!

And why should we know anything about it?

I dont have a pen and a phone but I’ve got a bat and two hands for anyone who tries to implement sharia law in the US.

WE WON. Time for harvard to realize that.
