Or at least they don't condemn when a Muslim condones it publicly..
This is disgusting. A leader of Muslims at Harvard has said that there is wisdom in killing Muslims who decide to change religions, and the Boston Globe doesn't even cover it. Can you imagine if a Christian pastor had said this?? He'd be run out of town! He'd lose his job! He'd be ostracized! We are evidently testicle-free in our existence with Islam, and they're evidently going to take over America with the silent jihad, just as they've done Britain.
The Liberals in this country are so scared of Muslims that they'll allow this man to spew this vile hate speech without challenging him or condemn it.
For a while now when I hear the word Harvard I just think bad thoughts.. Not positive thoughts.. When did it start? I think it started about the time that I learned that Obama the affirmative action president attended..
Courtesy of Michael Graham:
Meet Harvard Islamic chaplain Taha Abdul-Basser. He's a Harvard grad as well (class of '96) and a leader on campus among the young Muslims there. I assume that includes the students who demanded single-sex gym time to bring Harvard into compliance with Shari'a law.
As the Harvard Crimson recently reported, Chaplain Abdul-Basser was drawn into a discussion among Muslim students about MIT about Islam and the policy of executing those who commit "apostasy." (Attempt to convert away from Islam) Here are some highlights from his moderate vision of the Religion of Peace:
"Debating about religious matter is impermissible, in general, and people rarely observe the etiquette of disagreements...
The preponderant position in all of the 4 sunni madhahib (and apparently others of the remaining eight according to one contemporary `alim) is that the verdict [for apostasy] is capital punishment...
I would finally note that there is great wisdom (hikma) associated with the established and preserved position (capital punishment) and so, even if it makes some uncomfortable in the face of the hegemonic modern human rights discourse, one should not dismiss it out of hand."
Consider it Harvard's version of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell, Don't Convert (Or Else)"
My favorite part of the story, which I picked up from the brilliant Diana West, is this excerpt from the Crimson's coverage:
“I believe he doesn’t belong as the official chaplain,” said one Islamic student, who asked that he not be named to avoid conflicts with Muslim religious authorities. “If the Christian ministers said that people who converted from Christianity should be killed, don’t you think the University should do something?” [SEE CLARIFICATION BELOW]
CLARIFICATION: The April 14 article "Chaplain's E-mail Sparks Controversy" included a quotation from a named Harvard student, who was later granted anonymity when he revealed that his words could bring him into serious conflict with Muslim religious authorities.
Hey, stop saying Islam is violent--or I'll KILL you!
Now, I realize that Harvard is a small, obscure university, and that the Boston Globe-Democrat only covers big, breaking stories like the fight for gay rights in the Sudan. But you'd think that a local school with a Muslim chaplain declaring execution a legitimate practice of students' faith might be worth a sentence or two in the local paper.
To paraphrase the student above, if a Christian minister in Boston supported killing converts, don't you think the Boston Globe-Democrat would write something?
