| Anti-Dhimmitude at Harvard: Sheikh Zayad's Gift to Be Returned Harvard University is returning a controversial $2.5 million gift to its donor, the president of the United Arab Emirates. ... which was to endow a chair in Islamic religious studies, DNC Benediction by Imam Yahya Hendi He works at Georgetown, "the first American university to hire a full-time Muslim chaplain. ... What do they teach you ask? My favorite lesson is titled, Secularism is Shirk in the Lordship of Allah. Here are some high points of the lesson (tauhid or tawhid is the unity of Allah; mushrik and shirk are Islamic terms for polytheism, a grave sin for Muslims - Christians are considered shirk because they "attribute partners to God" through the divinity of Christ and the Trinity; shirk equals unbelief and infidelism; emphasis in bold added): Whoever calls the people (and/or himself) to the following and obedience of another law other than the shari'a is a disbeliever and a mushrik. |

| #8 LH, I don't have a problem with a Muslim chaplain being anti-Catholic. Neither do I have a problem with a Catholic University hiring a full-time Muslim chaplain. As a Catholic, I find it unacceptable that a Catholic University would hire anyone to teach people that Catholicism is unbelief and infidelism. I don't put money in the collection plate to sponsor the spread of Islam throughout the world. The fact that Georgetown has hired this guy is as ludicrous as if McDonalds were to hire a cashier to dress up as Poncho Villa and instruct each customer that Taco Bell serves better and more nutritious food. As things currently stand, when my kids are of college age, I will have to hunt down an appropriate Baptist Bible College so that they aren't bombarded with anti-Catholic opinions from teachers, even though my Bishop is located in South Bend. |

| #7 Sorry to rain on your parade, LH, but if Hendi is a Sunni and worse, a Waahab cleric, then they believe that Jews, Christians and also Shi'ites are all polytheists who must either meet death by the sword, convert by the same or face dhimmitude under a shi'a kaliphate, if they're lucky enough to live. It gives me no joy to admit that several Muslim clerics have been invited to the White House--notice, not recently!--that have been proven to have definite ties to Islamist terrorism. |

| #6 Its wrong for a GU to have a muslim chaplin who teaches that Christianity is a form of polytheism? Er, I take it that means that the rabbi of Hillel house cant be Orthodox or Conservative, since Maimonides considered christianity a form of Polytheism and idolatry. Look guys, tolerance DOESNT mean accepting the validity of the other guys beliefs, as my southern Baptist friends remind me. A christian can beleive that jews are going to hell for not beleiving in Jesus, but as long as he supports a society where all are treated as equals, hes TOLERANT. Ditto for muslims wrt to Christianity. I see no evidence that Hendi - who was all over the place after 9/11, including the white house - opposes equal rights for all regardless of religion. |

| #5 It's been a long time since Georgetown was a "Catholic" University. Someone once said that the secret desire of American Irish-Catholics was to become WASPS. Georgetown has gone further and become left-wing secular-humanist and often quite Anti-Catholic. |

| #3 If we continue to allow this kind of crap, then we're too stupid to prevail in the struggle against Islamic fanaticism. |

| #2 The sad truth about Catholic universities is that many are only nominally Catholic at best. |
