    First Muslim Congressman Speaks of Faith, Change Minnesota Democrat Says Norway Good Model for U.S. By Natalie Lescroart | Feb 15 2008 The nation’s first Muslim congressman called for political change and spoke about how his faith has affected his job in a speech Tuesday at the Georgetown University Law Center. Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) told a packed crowd at the Gewirz Student Center that “the time is now” for political change and reworking. Ellison, a freshman congressman, is the first African-American to represent Minnesota. He is a member of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, and sits on the Financial Services...

    Tyler Savage: he is fed through a tube in his stomach A boy of 12 suffers from so many allergies that he is able to eat only five foods. Tyler Savage is violently ill every time he is given dishes containing dairy products or wheat, gluten, eggs, lactose and soya. The sole foods he is allowed are chicken, carrots, grapes, potatoes and apples. To help him survive, minerals and vitamins are pumped directly into his stomach through a tube. Tyler started to fall ill at the age of six when even a morsel of food would leave him writhing...

Law Center Dean T. Alexander Aleinikoff of Georgetown University announced the policy change Sept. 7 in a letter published in the Law Center's student newspaper. It was reported in The Hoya, the Georgetown University newspaper. The decision came after the Law Center got flack from pro-abortion students and faculty for directing student group Equal Justice Foundation to refuse funding to a student who applied to...

    Georgetown University has rediscovered its Catholicism. The nation’s oldest Catholic school, the flagship of Jesuit education in America, has been a sad topic among American Catholics for some time now. Crucifixes removed from classrooms, a lay president, pro-abortion activity, a general embarrassment at religion. Indeed, over the years, Georgetown has been perhaps the clearest example of what many such schools practice: the whipsaw of “Catholic tradition,” in which the strongest declarations of Catholic identity come from the fund-raisers, the alumni association, and the public-relations office—all the people trying to sell the university in a tight economic situation that requires a...

    Georgetown University has banned outside Protestant ministries from holding on-campus events and using the school's name, prompting group leaders to question whether the prestigious Catholic school is restricting religious choice. "All we're wanting is diversity," said Kevin Offner, a staff leader for InterVarsity Graduate Christian Fellowship. "We're simply saying, 'Can't we worship and conduct our meetings in a way appropriate to our tradition?' And it feels like [Georgetown is] saying 'no.' " In a letter last week to leaders of the campus's Affiliated Ministries, the Rev. Constance C. Wheeler, a Georgetown Protestant chaplain, said that "as a result of our...

    This is the third of my speeches on the challenges facing the international community. In the first, I argued that the global terrorism that menaces us, can only be defeated through pulling it up by its roots. We have to attack not just its methods but its ideas, its presumed and false sense of grievance against the West, its attempt to persuade us that it is we and not they who are responsible for its violence. In doing so, we should stand up for our own values, asserting that they are not Western but global values, whose spread is the...

In a 15-minute address to Georgetown University law graduates, Chief Justice Roberts, 51, sketched a vision for leading a court sharply divided on issues like abortion, the death penalty and gay rights. "If it is not necessary to decide more to a case, then in my view it is necessary not to decide more to a case," Chief Justice...

    It’s been two weeks since the International Solidarity Movement (ISM) held its Fifth Annual Divestment Conference at Georgetown University.  A few articles have briefly discussed some of the seminars at the conference and what outwardly occurred there. But the major thing missing in all these reports -- that this article will reveal -- was the importance of what occurred behind the scenes just before, after and during the Georgetown divestment conference that really shows the current state of the ISM as a movement on US campuses. But before doing that, a little history is in order: Three years ago, I went...

    Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- Former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor used a speech at Georgetown University to attack pro-life lawmakers who sided with Terri Schiavo's parents in their efforts to prevent their daughter's euthanasia death. She claimed a Congressional effort to have federal courts review the case was a first step towards a dictatorship. O'Connor, who backs abortion, announced her retirement last year and was recently replaced by federal appeals court judge Samuel Alito, who pro-life advocates hope will be more open to upholding laws that protect the right to life. "We must be ever-vigilant against those who would...

    The Washington Post ^ | February 12, 2006 | Eric Adler and Jack Langer
    This month Georgetown University plans to host the annual conference of an anti-Israel propaganda group called the Palestine Solidarity Movement (PSM). The PSM certainly is controversial. It is also dangerous. The purported aim of the PSM is to encourage divestment from Israel. To this end, its conferences boast a cavalcade of anti-Israel speakers whose speeches often degenerate into anti-Semitism. At the 2004 conference at Duke University in North Carolina, for example, keynote speaker Mazin Qumsiyeh referred to Zionism as a "disease." Workshop leader Bob Brown deemed the Six-Day War "the Jew War of '67." Not to be outdone, Nasser Abufarha...

    Last month Saudi Prince Al-Waleed bin Talat made a serious investment in the education of American youth. He paid Harvard and Georgetown Universities $20 million each to fertilise their ivy curriculum with Islam. It was vital, he said, because "Bridging the understanding between East and West is important for peace and tolerance.” Back at Ground Zero in 2001, Al-Waleed embedded himself with Rudi Giuliani’s entourage. And, as they salvaged 291 intact bodies and 19,500 body parts from the massive bloody wreckage, he handed over $10 million and released a statement. The statement did not refer to the fact that most...

    Georgetown University was built with a Catholic and Jesuit identity. This bit of information is proudly displayed on the school’s website. But like Bethlehem in Israel, that identity is quickly being lost to a radical strain of Islam, as a counter-terror symposium has been abandoned and a pro-terror conference has been confirmed. Indeed, one of America’s most prestigious universities appears to be under siege. Fearing violent reprisal from militant Muslim members of their student body, the school’s conference center rejected an educational symposium being hosted by America’s Truth Forum (formerly the People’s Truth Forum), a non-partisan, fact-based organization whose sole...

    There's one good thing about the news that Alwaleed bin Talal, the richest Saudi prince in the world, just bought Harvard and Georgetown universities -- or, at least buried them up to their ivy in $40 million. It gives everybody reason to relive a McAuliffe moment. McAuliffe, of course, was Gen. Anthony C. McAuliffe, who, in response to a Nazi invitation to surrender during the 1944 Battle of the Bulge, sent back a one-word reply: "NUTS." In kindred spirit, but in a very different war, Rudy Giuliani gave the United States a McAuliffe moment after he realized that Mr. Alwaleed's...

    Georgetown Voice - Cover Issue: 03/04/04 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Georgetown's Doctrine of Medical Research By Shanthi Manian The country's oldest Catholic university has been conducting research on aborted fetal cell lines for several years. What might surprise you is that this research has been sanctioned by several Catholic bioethicists and even Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, leader of the Archdiocese of Washington. While the president of the United States struggles with questions of stem cells and cloning, Georgetown University Medical Center has become embroiled in a 25-year-old debate. Last summer, Debra Vinnedge, the founder of a Catholic organization in Florida, discovered that Georgetown University...

    Georgetown not acting in accordance with Church doctrine American Life League's American Bioethics Advisory Commission has issued the following statement in response to a recent article (1/30/04) in The Washington Post, "GU [Georgetown University] to Continue Controversial Research." Speaking on behalf of the ABAC is Fr. Joseph Howard, M. Div., director. The Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care Services (4th ed., 2001), which was approved by the U.S. bishops, tells us that 'Catholic health care institutions should not make use of human tissue obtained by direct abortions even for research and therapeutic purposes' (Directive #66) Georgetown University's...

    Please read the statement released by the National Catholic Bioethics Center regarding the aborted fetal cell line research at Georgetown University - and our response. And then I ask you to spread this message far and wide to every Christian you know. These people are supposed to be giving guidance and direction to our Bishops and Church leaders. And for those of you who have faithfully followed our work, you will be shocked to learn that not only does this Catholic organization think that Georgetown's research is perfectly acceptable, they believe the pharmaceutical industry is blameless as well! In Christ...

    Did you hear the news from Georgetown University? You remember Georgetown. It's the "Catholic" university whose Jesuit-led administration adamantly opposed putting crucifixes in the classrooms. In fact, if it weren't for a groundswell of support from the alumni and the undergrads (including the Muslim and Jewish undergrads, let it be noted), there would still be no crucifixes on the walls. Well, now we know why the administration didn't want crucifixes on campus. Who wants reminders of suffering and death when you're in the middle of ripping apart living children on campus using government funds? Yes, it seems Georgetown is involved...

    February 05, 2004 For Immediate Release “Today, the CIA Director, George Tenet, admitted that the intelligence agencies never told the White House that Iraq posed an imminent threat. But that’s not what the Bush White House told the American people. They said Iraq posed a ‘mortal threat,’ an ‘urgent threat,’ an ‘immediate threat,’ a ‘serious threat,’ and, yes, an ‘imminent threat’ to the people of the United States. “Today, we found out that George Bush, Dick Cheney, Don Rumsfeld, and the rest of the Administration weren’t passing on sound facts on Iraq to the American people - they were playing...

    CIA Director, George Tenet gave a speech from Georgetown University this morning discussing intelligence gathering, WMD in Iraq as well as WMD in Libya, Pakistan, Iran, N Korea, and the task of rebuilding the CIA intelligence capabilites. While Tenet is not a great orator (evidenced by the number of students nodding off), he has some important points to make, one of those being that the CIA does have intelligence gathering capabilities into the world of the terrorists (contrary to claims being made in the press) and then provided several examples. Tenet profoundly disagrees with Kay's claim that 85% of the...

    WASHINGTON, DC, February 2, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Georgetown University Right to Life, the official pro-life club of the Catholic University, was incredulous that their Catholic school was using cell lines from aborted babies and found it even more unbelievable that the university would continue to use the cell lines after the research was recently publicly exposed. In related news, Children of God for Life, the pro-life group which initially discovered Georgetown's unethical research and brought it to the attention of Washington Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, has launched an online petition to stop the university's use of aborted fetal cell lines.

    Please spread this message far and wide. We now have a petition on line to stop Georgetown University's use of aborted fetal cell lines. If GU gets away with this, kiss the ethical vaccine deal we are on the verge of negotiating with Chiron goodbye...why bother with it if the Catholic scholars are saying the immoral research is okay? If the research at GU is acceptable then surely tainted vaccines are too, so why bother getting untainted ones? And why bother with the new Fair Labeling and Informed Consent Legislation: See www.cogforlife.org/flica.htm proposed to Congress Jan 20th? If it is...

    Top Catholic officials in the Washington Archdiocese have intervened at Georgetown University Medical Center to end the practice of research with cell lines derived from human embryos. After discovering that Georgetown University medical researchers had been using aborted fetal cell lines for research, an outraged Debra Vinnedge, executive director of the non-profit group Children of God for Life, wrote Archbishop Theodore McCarrick, asking him to “please intercede to stop the use of all aborted fetal cell lines at once.” Vinnedge had stumbled across a list of cell lines being used in research at the university while doing a search online....
