Terrorist royalty gets a cushy job.
Muslim theologist Tariq Ramadan has been appointed the first professor of Islam at Leiden University.
The chair is paid for by the sultan of Oman.
The US denied a visa that would have allowed Ramadan to accept a similar job here.

Like the NYT-Communist story, one of those “terrible yet wholly unsurprising” events.

This Tariq Ramadan is a bad guy.

Doctors and now Professors, all just ‘poor youths’ in someone’s mind.

The Saudis are doing the same thing in our universities, creating Islamic studies departments, populating them with radical professors, and indoctrinating willing students in Islamism.

They’re running scared…

Right your are, Tantor.
It’s a love/hate relationship we have between islam and the West. They use our oil money to pay for these indroctrination courses for braindead lefty students, tell ‘em islam is all about peeeeace and looooove, just like the hippie movement of the 60s. Then they turn around and again use our oil money to brainwash young muslim children and teach them to hate infidels. They’re workin’ both sides and we’re doing nothing to stop it.

I’ll bet Pelosi is fit to be tied. After all, he could be a professor in Her district.

Only one good word for this in Dutch.
Klootzak.
Idiomatic English transposition:
Scumbag.

Our founding fathers were right all along. They knew that staying in Europe would never be a secure future. Now, let’s get rid of our collective blinders and feel good thought processes and protect what they started for us.

Of course Hirsi Ali’s alma mater wouldn’t hire her as professor of Islam, and they didn’t need lesson plans or a syllabus to make the decision.

What’s with the (neo)conservative love affair with Ayaan Hirsi Ali anyway? You people do know that she’s an anti-religion (all religions, including Christianity), pro-abortion socialist liberal, right? Or don’t you care as long as she’s tough on Islam?
