Thank goodness for Campus Watch and Daniel Pipes. It makes me furious that these guys are using taxpayer money to advance their personal agenda. Maybe if all funding of Middle East Studies was suspended, the universities would pay more attention to the hatred these guys preach.

I would hope that Campus Watch would also look into American muslim websites that do the same thing. I am willing to bet they get some government money in the name of educating the public. Frequently they use articles from these same professors on their sites. Everything is anti American and anti West.

IVIEWS in particular really ticks me off when posters are advocating arab nations buy nukes to bomb America. Everyone who doesn't buy their propaganda is attacked and called racist. The intolerance is completely unacceptable. You can bet I will be writing to my congressman SOON and so should everyone else.
