Hat tip PJ Media
I previously wrote about the efforts of politically-correct academics to have a Harvard professor fired for his controversial statements about the status of Muslims in his native India.

In the below article in PJ Media, Phyllis Chesler describes how that effort has succeeded.

The problem (aside from Harvard itself) in Boston is that the interfaith groups, allied with the Roxbury Mosque, are dead set against anything that would burst their bubble. They refuse to believe that the Roxbury Mosque and Islamic Center could have any radical intentions even though the radical connections with figures such as Yusuf al Qaradawi have been documented. The organized Jewish community and its "leaders" have tried to make an outcast of Charles Jacobs (previously of the David Project) and his group Americans for Peace and Tolerance because Jacobs has spoken the truth about the mosque.

So it is with Professor Swamy and his article.
The idea of interfaith conferences seems great on its surface. Yet, many of these groups consist of gullible Jewish and Christian clerics teamed with supposedly peaceful and moderate imams who, in reality, are nothing more than stealth jihadists, whose mission it is to lull the gullible to sleep. I have attended two such meetings at Chapman University in Orange County, and both times, I have felt that the imams were less than candid in the face of hard questions.
This problem is especially acute in the Boston area and that Roxbury mosque..
