Radical Islam Finds a Home at UC Berkeley Law School…
The leftist love affair with Islamism continues.
Via American Thinker:
The exploitation of the University of California’s Bay Area law schools as a platform for Arab and Islamist propaganda continues. A convocation on “Litigating Palestine,” replete with extreme rhetoric against Israel, was held at Hastings Law School in San Francisco on March 25-26, 2011-without official endorsement by Hastings-and on April 20-21, an equally radical conference took place at UC Berkeley Law School. It was held in Boalt Hall and presented to the wider public via streaming video.
The Berkeley event was hosted by the University’s Center for Race and Gender (CRG) and titled, in the style of post-modern academia, “Islamophobia Production and Re-Defining Global ‘Security’ Agenda for the 21st Century.” Within CRG, the function appeared under the rubric of the Islamophobia Research and Documentation Project, directed by Hatem Bazian, a senior lecturer in the department of Near Eastern studies. Conference publicity stated that the speeches “will be published in UC Berkeley’s Islamophobia Studies Journal, inaugural edition, Fall, 2011.”
CRG assembled some notable cosponsors for its presentation on “Islamophobia.” These included the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), which advocates for radical ideology under color of defending Muslim civil liberties and as the flagship organization of the “Wahhabi lobby” in America, and the Islamic Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (ISESCO). Although based in Rabat, Morocco, ISESCO is a branch of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC), a body headquartered in Saudi Arabia and established in 1969 with the supposed aim of protecting Islamic monuments in Jerusalem from Israel. The OIC has 57 member countries.
The heaviest hitters on the speakers’ list, with regard to their widespread public activities, were CAIR executive director Nihad Awad, Hamza Yusuf, and Hatem Bazian. The three appeared on an April 21, 2011, evening panel, which dealt with “Community Partnership” and was moderated by Munir Jiwa, director of the GTU Center for Islamic Studies.
Hamza Yusuf was introduced with the fawning praise customarily granted him by his admirers, including mention of his “teacher” Abdullah Bin Bayyah, a member of the fundamentalist European Council for Fatwas and Research (ECFR) headed by the most famous radical Islamist preacher in the world, Yusuf Al-Qaradawi.
Hanson demonstrated in Berkeley that his fondness for hyperbolic idioms has changed little since the period before the atrocities of September 11, 2001. In 1995, he described Judaism as “a most racist religion.” On September 9, 2001, two days before 9/11, Hanson declared in Los Angeles, “This country [America] unfortunately has a great, a great tribulation coming to it. And much of it is already here, yet people are too illiterate to read the writing on the wall.”

I am convinced more and more that we need to bring our soldiers home. We have an epic battle raging right here…and we’re allowing our bravest to fight a losing battle ( and our Gov knows it) overseas!
While they give life and limb in the cess pool called the Middle East, we’re being eaten alive here. This makes me want to VOMIT!
This is lawfare employed by willing leftist institutions to destruct traditional western culture. The Bedouin should never be underestimated.
The hubris of the left will get us all killed or enslaved.
I was on the UCB campus during lunch time and was dumbfounded to see Muzzies pull out there prayer rug at noon and pray in the middle of the cafeteria, hallway, wherever. The cat is already out of the bag, to unwind it will be very tough.
All these ‘elites’ will accept islam readily as long as they get to keep their comfy lifestyles..
“The enemy of my enemy is my friend.”

$10 says the muzzies don’t last against the mexicalis in the long run…
Sponsored by the Center for Race and Gender? Do these fools know how islam treats gender and confused gender? These people will be stoned or hanged before they could even get that burqa over their heads.
What is the common factor in the Leftist/Islamist alliance?
Both political movements are motivated by the same anti-human desire for the mass-consciousness of the hive, the swarm – the all-consuming, individuality-obliterating state of insect-consciousness.
Pass the Bug-spray!
@vangrungy. You have a good point, the mexicalis are a problem too. What pisses me off to no end is white tax paying Californians are denied entrance into the UC system because they get more money from foreign students. So at the end of the day, its not about educating California’s young people, its about keeping all the liberal teachers employed.
Awwww!!! good to know that people will get benefited from Islam, University of California keep it up….. Islam is indeed the Truth, I myself have read the Qur’an and it testifies everything from past to future…. Thank you god
The lib elites and their supporters have boxed themselves in . Stupidity and the lack of common sense goes a long way in their marble size world . SUCKAS !
Hatem…what an ironic name. Are you making this up?
You might be the dumbest people I’ve ever seen.
NYU, one of the nations top universities, is now undertaking to establish a major operating partnership with the Emirate of Dubai. It’s new educational program offers NYU diplomas and is located within the Emirate itself. Israelis and gay students are excluded from the program.
