Middle East Studies Blames the Jews Again
Hat tip Algemeiner
Believe it or not there actually is a university located in Fresno, the town sportscaster Jim Rome calls "Fresneck". It's called Cal State Fresno for short or Fresno State, if you prefer even though Fresno is as much a state as Palestine is a country. As you can imagine, it's just like all the other universities in California, a place where misfits and radicals hang out. They even have a Middle East Studies department (Israelis need not apply.)
Speaking of applying, there is a big controversy brewing up there, which is probably front-page news in the city that never wakes. It all started when Fresneck U. decided to hire a professor-any professor- to something called the Edward Said Professorship, a fancy name for a dead professor who hated everything about the West and blamed all the dysfunctions of the Middle East on-you guessed it- the West. His book, Orientalism, is the Bible of Middle East studies.
Anyway, when after an exhaustive search Fresneck U. was unable to find a "suitable" hire. That's when the whiners kicked in and blamed it all on-you guessed it- the Jews.
To which the university says that's bunch of bolshoi.

It looks like Fresneck State won't be getting that Edward Said professorship after all.

More Anti-Israel Hypocrisy From the Gay Lobby
On Saturday, three Jewish women were barred from a gay pride parade in Chicago because their rainbow flags had Stars of David on them. That is the basis of my below article in the Times of Israel Blogs.

An Appeal in Germany to Stop the Madness
Hat tip Gates of Vienna, Vlad Tepes and Oz-Rita
Beatrix von Storch of the German party, Alternatif fuer Deutschland has issued this videotaped appeal to stop Angela Merkel's insane migrant policy. According to von Storch, 6.6 million more migrants from the Middle East and Africa are on the way.

Why Did the DNC Deny FBI Requests to Check Their Emails for Hacks?
That was the question President Trump and his spokesman Sean Spicer were asking earlier this year intimating that perhaps, the Clinton campaign itself had some sort of contact with the Russians.
http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/melanie-arter/wh-why-did-dnc-rebuff-fbi-looking-its-servers-after-russian-hacking
It now appears there may be other reasons the DNC did not want the FBI poking through their communications during the campaign. First of all, it has been now reported that President Obama and the White House knew about Russian meddling in the campaign months before it came out publicly but chose not to go public because they "didn't want to appear themselves to be meddling in the election".
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/21/us/politics/jeh-johnson-testimony-russian-election-hacking.html
But there is more. Senator Charles Grassley (R-IO) wants to know if there was any collusion between the DNC and then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch in which she allegedly assured the DNC that she would keep the lid on the Hillary Clinton email investigation.
http://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/2017/06/26/loretta-lynch-faces-another-potential-email-disaster-judge-napolitano-says.html
Remember that James Comey testified before Congress that he lost confidence in the DOJ's ability to handle the Clinton case after Lynch's famous tarmac meeting with Bill Clinton in Phoenix. He also testified about Lynch's instructing him to refer to the investigation as "a matter".
Back to the question of emails between Lynch and the DNC, if we add that possibility (We don't know if such communication exists, but I assume Grassley is acting on some information he is privy to.) to the fact that then-DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman-Schultz was colluding with the Clinton campaign to ensure Bernie Sanders would not get the nomination, it could explain why the DNC didn't want the FBI poking around their emails.
Just a wild conspiracy theory.

Refugee Camp Fire in Germany Winds Its Way Through Court
Hat tip Vlad Tepes
Two North African refugees are on trial in Germany for setting fire to a refugee camp in Dusseldorf last June during Ramadan. The men-get this- were angry because meals were served to non-Muslims in the camp while they (the defendants and all the other Muslims) were fasting. So the camp was burned down. (Setting fires during Ramadan is OK.)
http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/760104/Huge-refugee-camp-fire-was-started-because-migrants-were-angry-over-Ramadan-food
And the verdict is expected in late March? And I thought American justice was slow. Old Roland Freisler must be rolling in his grave.

The London Mosque Attack Does Not Change the Facts
This article first appeared in Eagle Rising.
A few days ago, a British man drove his vehicle into a crowd of Muslims leaving the London Finsbury Park Mosque after prayers. He killed one person and injured about ten others before he was taken into custody. It turns out he was a white man of 47 years. As he was led away, he declared his intent to "kill all Muslims".
No doubt, the rash of terror attacks in England and other places had left the man enraged, and he chose to strike back. The Finsbury mosque had for years been known as a hotbed of radicalism, but had largely changed its image in the last decade. At any rate, the man's actions were flat out wrong. Mimicking Islamic terrorists and attempting to retaliate against innocent Muslims is not the answer.
However, lest we allow our politicians and the media to run wild with this narrative, we need to put it in perspective. As Fox News' Greg Gutfeld put it last night, this is not a game of ping-pong, where one act is followed by another from the other side. Terrorists and criminal acts against Muslims are quite rare, in fact. Terrorists acts by Muslim fanatics are not. They have become routine, and we have every right to draw the conclusions.
It is natural that Europeans (and Americans, for that matter) are frustrated and enraged by what some Muslims are doing. They are also frustrated by the silence and acquiescence of other Muslims who say Islam is being hijacked but do nothing to fight against the jihadis. We know of thousands, tens of thousands of Western-based Muslims who have gone to the Middle East to join ISIS. We know of virtually none who have gone to fight against ISIS. Who are the Muslims fighting and dying at the hands of terrorists? Largely those fighting in their national armies in Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, Jordan and Saudi Arabia etc.
It is true that most of the terrorists' victims are other Muslims, a fact often quoted by Muslims and their non-Muslim apologists. However, once you take away the soldiers, the victims of "honour-killings", those charged with apostasy, and the internecine violence of Sunni vs. Shia, those numbers decrease dramatically.
Nevertheless, this is no cause to take the law into one's own hands and strike back at innocent Muslims who live among us. That we must leave to our police and intelligence services. In the US, we also have two advantages that our European friends lack. We have the right to bear arms in our own defense, and we have the First Amendment. You can call me an Islamophobe all you want (depending on how you define that tricky term). You can't put me in jail or fine me as can happen to Europeans. We must continue to exercise that right and ignore those who call us bigots. Unlike true hate groups like the KKK or neo-Nazis, we are trying to save innocent lives-including our own.
Of course, we should condemn what the motorist in Britain did, but it does not change the fact that too many Muslims are out there trying to kill us. The rare man-bites-dog attack must not be allowed to change the narrative.

Univ. Delaware Professor Says Otto Warmbier "Got What He Deserved"
Katherine Dettwyler
Is there no end to the hateful, despicable comments coming out of the mouths of college professors these days? University of Delaware Professor Katherine Dettwyler said on Facebook that Otto Warmbier, the college student who died after being imprisoned in Korea, "got what he deserved".
http://www.philly.com/philly/education/university-of-delaware-professor-under-fire-for-saying-otto-warmbier-got-what-he-deserved-20170624.html
Yes, Dr Dettwyler. Otto Warmbier was white. He was rich and privileged. He was clueles (sic). He was (according to your implication), a rapist too. And it was all the fault of his parents who raised him that way.
It may or may not be true that Warmbier was caught trying to swipe a propaganda banner as a souvenir, but that doesn't justify his death as Ms. Dettwyler seems to believe.
Should we blame your parents for raising you to be so heartless to make such comments about a young man who died under brutal conditions in a North Korean prison? I wonder what kind of sickness pervades American universities these days that such comments have become the norm, not just coming from students but professors, the so-called adults who are supposed to know better and set the example.
We, as a society, seriously need to take stock of our university culture. We cannot continue to entrust our children to these misfits who have PhDs attached to their names.
Suicide Bomber Thwarted in Mecca
A suicide bomber who was planning to attack the Grand Mosque in Mecca as one million Muslims had converged there to mark the end of Ramadan, blew himself up as police raided a house near the Mosque. No other deaths were reported though there were injuries.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/middle_east/saudi-says-suicide-bomber-killed-in-foiled-mecca-plot/2017/06/23/cfe4c5bc-5882-11e7-840b-512026319da7_story.html?utm_term=.0baa23770bc5
This has been a particularly bloody month of Ramadan this year. It is supposed to be a time of fasting and good thoughts/deeds. At least that's what they tell us. Yet, the jihadis apparently consider it a prime time to kill. And why are these pilgrimages to Mecca often marked by violence?
I don't get it.
Good News: MPAC Loses DHS Grant
Hat tip Investigative Project on Terrorism and Karen Lugo for passing this on
The Muslim Public Affairs Council is another one of those phony moderate Islamic organizations in the US that poses as moderates. In reality, they are a front for the Muslim Brotherhood. Their CEO, Salam al Marayati, is a phony moderate who once told me there was no death penalty in Islam for apostasy (a lie). Under the Obama administration, this organization participated in a giant ruse with the government called, "Countering Violent Extremism", which relied on mosques and groups like MPAC to root out the "violent extremists" in their own community and train them to be good little citizens. Now the Trump administration has wisely withdrawn funding from MPAC.
https://www.investigativeproject.org/6333/dhs-denies-grant-to-islamic-radicalization
As the article aptly points out, MPAC is one of law enforcement's biggest critics when it comes to catching terrorists in the US. Depending on MPAC and the imams and mosques to identify and cure would be terrorists (as opposed to identifying them and notifying police) is like expecting elephants to pass the peanuts.
This entire Countering Violent Extremism program should be halted and replaced with something more sensible like monitoring extremist mosques.

Israel and American Jews
Hat tip to Barry for passing this on.
When Carolyn Glick of the Jerusalem Post writes an article that pertains to American Jews and their relationship to Israel (or non-relationship), I invariably find it worthy reading. This one below is no exception. In the below article, Glick lays out some poignant observations about American Jews, their connections to Israel, BDS, and just who are Israel's biggest supporters in the US.
http://www.jpost.com/Opinion/Column-one-Israel-American-Jewry-and-Trumps-GOP-497698
This all makes perfect sense to me. It coincides with my own personal experiences and observations on the college scene.

Why Did Female Senators Ignore Muslim Reformers on Capitol Hill Testimony?
Hat tip Legal Insurrection
This week, two courageous women who have experienced thew second-class treatment of women under Islam first hand, testified before Congress. On Thursday, one of them, Asra Nomani, appeared on Tucker Carlson's Fox News show. Incredibly, four female Democratic senators, failed to ask one single question of these ladies when they testified..
http://legalinsurrection.com/2017/06/why-did-claire-mccaskill-ignore-two-women-testifying-about-islam/
Once again, the hypocrisy of American feminists is exposed. Their liberal agenda is more important to them when it comes to Islamic violations of women's rights. They place more importance on abortion rights than they do domestic abuse in Muslim households. They place more importance on gender-neutral bathrooms than they do on the problem of female genital mutilation. Forced marriages? That pales in comparison to the so-called "glass ceiling". Recently, they chose Islamist activist Linda Sarsour to represent them in a feminist march ignoring her extremist views.
Until American feminists begin to speak out against the treatment of women in Islam, they are nothing but hypocrites.

Ramadan in Oslo
Hat tip A Swede Speaks and Ava Vaud Lon
In the above video, the narrator explains that the previous evening (June 20) 8 cars were burned in downtown Oslo. This is a common occurrence in big cities in Scandinavia and France and is carried out by Muslim immigrants. In this case it appears to correspond to Ramadan.
So, courtesy of the legendary 1950s rock group, the Jamies, we have added a little theme music in the background at the Fousequawk studios. Instead of, "Summertime Summertime", it's now Ramadan Ramadan (in Oslo). Feel free to sing along.
