Islamic radicals have no place teaching in civilized institutions. Professors have a responsibility to present the issues to students in a fair and balanced way. When you have Islamic terrorists who openly support the destruction of Israel and applaud terrorist attacks against the West cleverly disguising themselves as "academics", and especially getting away with it for as long as these individuals have, universities must take steps to ensure that students are being properly educated and not being subjected to militant Islam hogwash by a bunch of Bin Ladin sympathizers. Perhaps colleges and universities should start screening their faculty more carefully. Obviously students must also play an active role in rooting out terrorist academia.
