British Respect? Galloway's people. No surprise there.

Satellite bomber training is all the rage!

U of M is now the University of Terrorist Sympathizers.

The motion stated that “Palestinian education has been severely hindered since the outbreak of the second Intifada in September 2000 by blanket curfews, the presence of roadblocks and recently the erection of the wall. The cumulative effects of these measures have put the future of many Palestinian universities at grave risk.“ ...

You mean they're not going to be teaching any more psycho-thermal-nuclear-physiononomy?

Yeah, I have a degree from BombMart University.

How long until the entire British academy has been co-opted? Or is the better question, "When was the entire ...?"

Im sick of hearing about this, if this is the road you choose England have fun.

I really hope you enjoy seeing the end of your civilisation in the next 40 years.

You had a good run there for 2 thousand years, shame to see it end.

I would usually suspect a stuffed suitcase of cash dispatched from Magic Kingdom, but in this case, I have to consider that a genuine idiocy played a prominent role.

My apology to idiots. I wanted to say genuine moonbatery.

Former Navy Sailor Indicted for Supporting Terrorists by E-Mailing Military Secrets

Hassan Abujihaad, ...(Irish?)...is accused of supporting terrorism by disclosing secret information about the location of Navy ships and the best ways to attack them...the information included a drawing of the group's formation when it was to pass through the Straits of Hormuz at night under a communications blackout...

If convicted, he faces up to 25 years in prison.

25 years in prison?!?!?
Isn't this a clear case of treason that ought be punished by DEATH?!?!

FUGS GOIN' ON HERE?!?

THE DOCTOR AND THE WAR

Dr. Jamal Taha is a surgeon in Baghdad’s Yarmuk hospital, one of the two main hospitals in the city for emergency treatment. He is one of my favorite people in Baghdad. At 36 he has acquired more ER experience in the last four years than most surgeons will ever see in a lifetime. He gets patients blown up in car bombs, shot, hit by mortars and roadside bombs -- and that on top of the normal run of car accidents and other injuries that every hospital ER receives.

Dr. Jamal, whom we have interviewed for this week's Where Things Stand series, goes to work every day, operates on an endless stream of casualties, and then goes home to his family, trying to shed the images of violence from his mind. He is losing sleep these days, and having disturbing dreams. It is not the actual trauma that he sees that bothers him -- every surgeon has to get used to that. It is the reasons behind the trauma, the fact that two religious sects who differ in only a few details are nonetheless kidnapping, torturing and killing each other. How could he forget what he sees? “If you saw a 4 year-old shot in the face just because they were Shiite, could you forget that?” he asked me last week. He sees his country destroying itself, and that is slowly destroying him. “I don’t understand how people can hate each other so much,” he says.
He does not feel safe -- doctors have become prime targets for assassination and kidnapping.

A lot of higher institutions are bought off. This doesn't surprise me.

In the USA, we just got to make sure that we push for other methods of obtaining certificates and degrees so these U's get a run for their money.

A crumbling nation, 2.5 percent of the population calling the shots. A criminal gang has taken over Briton and the silly asses that run this pig sty are happy because they don't know how to be men.

Say Hey,

If Hassan is indeed Guilty as charged, then then he ought to be hanged on the last ship he served on.

That PC has already eliminated that possibility is a heartbreak.

Looks like you, me, and a handful of others at the last stand. Bring lots of food, we ain't dyin' easy.

Keep the Faith.

Eurabia's effects made visible again.

Banning face veils in school was a temporary concession. They're keeping their eye on a full-blown Muslim ass raping, them being on the receiving end.

Thumbs up, Brits. Way to go! An inspiration to us all! Don't worry, we Yankees gunning for the number 2 position of dhimmitude, right behind you.

It's really hard to read stuff like this. Not because it is so unexpected but rather that it is. It's like watching an inevitable car crash.

Welcome to the new world...
Now we will get Educated Generation of Sucide Bombers... which will be more lethal then currently existing now...

why ? because the Jihadis set the Goal is to kill Max number of kufirs... and now UK universities will teach them treands to analyze the target and excute the Goal...

We will always be thanksful for British for such contribution in our world...

HattsOff... because i m pissed off due to UK's Dhimitude...

Hmmm...crying about a wall and roadblocks put up as a result of their own actions?

I care this l l much.

We'd rather be politically correct than alive.

That is the truth isn't it? We'd rather go on record as having said and done all the 'right' (meaning PC) things instead of actually doing the right thing.

It doesn't matter how much anti-Western, anti-Semitic, anti-religious, etc, pap you stay spewing out of your mouth. You can march in these protests till you pass out from exhaustion - they still hate you. Period.

It wouldn't matter if we all converted to Islam today. They'd hate us for social injustices or whatever. Hell, even the anti-West poster child Noam Chompsky wouldn't last 10 seconds among them. We truly have become useful idiots. They must laugh at how silly we are. We do the work for them.

I used to be a liberal; hardcore communist-rhetoric spewing, anti-American teen. I understand these people. I was quite vocal and it annoyed some people.

My father (a Hungarian Jew whose family had been killed in the Holocaust, the 56 revolution, land confiscations and other 'joys' of extremism) once took me aside and quietly punched me in the stomach. He softly said that those things I stayed prattling on about destroyed his home country and life. He had come to America with nothing (quite literally) and worked hard to give his family the upper-middle class life I had deemed was my right.

After that I gave myself a good long look in the mirror. I had teetered on the fence between the right and left. It wasn't until I was actually in the Middle East and 'experienced' Islamic Gulf Arab culture. The treatment was so bad (we are talking imprisonment, death threats, the works - long story, one day I will recount it) that it threw my whole world view into question.

After that episode I went to Europe (no cash to get back to US, so stayed with family here). I have started to study again. I have worked with illegal immigrants and they have nothing but contempt for me - and I am helping them! I had brought some clothes for the winter (about 2 years ago) and they were refused. They didn't like the brands I had brought. I am not kidding. Same thing with a stove I had managed to get for the facility where they were staying. There was a demonstration once and this illegal immigrant was giving a speech. In it he said that treatment here was worse than at home. Now, the audience invariably felt guilty but I was gonna scream, then go the hell back! After all we did...This last episode crystalized the fact that they hate us, with a passion. And the western left encourages that behavior.

Everytime I hear news like that, my heart sinks a bit. Pairing with a jihadist university, my!

It seems that education, especially in liberal arts, is basically a way of blinding people by ideologies. No normal British would accept a hug with suicide bomber plant after 7/7, but for people brainwashed by extensive studies of PC, multiculturalism and western guilt, voila, anything goes (well, anything anti-Western).

I think we should give more attention to the people who collaborate with Islamic chutzpah here. They certainly will not stop at verbal exclamations.

In Czechia after 1945, Nazi collaborators were hanged judicially in thousands. But that needed documentation of their crimes. Maybe we will need this too, one day.

Manchester has the second largest Jewish community in Britain. Expect a rush of Jewish students to Liverpool, Leeds and Hallam University.

A bit OT, but more newz from France, via the Wall Street Journal:

It's like a jungle sometimes...

Palestinian education is severely hindered by the palestinian people's own depravity and their unending focus on the destruction of Israel. What academic or scientific achievement has ever originated from one of these schools? They teach nothing but hatred. It is no mere coincidence that al-Najah has produced 19 suicide murderers. Those monsters learned their lessons well.

Yet these same British institutions would divest from Israeli universities who are bastions of academic freedom and achievement and have produced world-class research.

Jimmy Carter's "Bible teachings" in the news today:

I read the Quran, and I had Islamic scholars come and talk to me. The basic human-behavior principles were the same. The Islamic Bible, the Quran, teaches peace and justice and care for one’s neighbor and helping the poor. I would not be in favor of public schools endorsing Christianity.

And then he drops yet another load condemning the evil of Israelis protecting themselves from those mass-murderering peaceful palestinians. Mr. President, you don't know the American Jewish community and you certainly don't speak for it. One thing we do agree on, your statement is neither accurate nor comprehensive.

After the publication of my book in January, I received 6,100 letters, 80 percent of them positive, many from American Jews... A lot of private opinion, even among the American Jewish community, feels a need for Israel to change its policies of severely persecuting the Palestinians. This may not be a comprehensive, accurate statement, but it’s a statement based on my own experience.

I should shed a tear that the daily readings of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, and Mein Kampf at these 'universities' have been suspended, or that their classes in Shahid 101, Ten Easy Recipies for Suicide Bombs, and Killing Jews for Fun and Profit, have not seen their regular class attendance? Sorry, no can do.

A victorious line of march had been prolonged above a thousand miles from the Rock of Gilbraltar to the banks of the Loire; the repetition of an equal space would have carried the Saracens to the confines of Poland and the Highlands of Scotlan; the Rhine is no more impassable than the Nile or Euphrates, and the Arabian fleet might have sailed without a naval combat into the mouth of the Thames. Perhaps the interpretation of the Koran would now be taught in the schools of Oxford, and her pupils might demonstrate to a circumcised people the sanctity and truth of the revelations of Mahomet.

Edward Gibbon, commenting on the Battle of Poitiers. The West has fallen far.

Hmmm... so what's the point of an "education" if ones goal in life is to be a splodeydope?

And here's something I've never heard anyone bring up before:

OK, suppose (Heaven Forbid!) these "people" get a "state" of their own (kind of like what they already have, eh?). Don't states and countries have borders, those borders making them sovereign nations? And what country with borders has no border control? Officially, all countries have some sort of customs clearance-- anyone wishing to leave or enter must pass through some official gate, whether at an airport, port, or road. So then what exactly are the complaints re: the "wall" between Israel and Gaza? Why is it not seen as the border that it is between two countries? How does a border fence/wall prevent people in a sovereign state from getting on with their lives? How about building infrastructure in your own country? Grow stuff, make stuff in factories, build schools and hospitals, etc. etc. Given all the BILLIONS of dollars that have been flushed into the hands of the arabs who currently call themselves "palestinians", what's the problem? Just tell Suha Arafat to come back "home" to "Palestine" and bring the check book... (She seems to think Paristine is her home)...

Damn and I thought the French would be the first to go down. Looks like the University of Madrassa puts England in the lead

STOP ISLAMIFESTATION NOW!

"and recently the erection of the wall"

And just how is a wall at the border with Israel keeping Pali "students" from their Advanced Car-Bomb Workshops at Jihadi U. in the West Bank? Right, and I think the Mexico/Guatemala border controls are preventing me from attending seminars at Harvard. Whatever.

Institutionalized Jew-hatred at British universities. What's so new about that?

#31 ploome:

"Before 1967, there was no such thing as a Palestinian national identity. That notion was invented by Yasser Arafat and his allies post-1967"

Close, but not quite. The PLO was founded in 1964. His broader point is correct, of course; it was founded not in response to some wellspring of "Palestinian national identity", but simply as a means for the Arab League to attack Israel.

And ploome, it gets even better:

"Before 1967 there were no universities in the West Bank ... As the *Jordanian government did not allow the establishment of such universities* in the West Bank, Palestinians could obtain degrees only by travelling abroad to places such as Jordan, Lebanon, or Europe."

Good thing the Israelis freed the poor, suffering Palis from Jordanian oppression in 1967!

Jimmah is completely full of crap. Why is it that a nice guy like Larry "Bud" Melman is dead, and Carter's still wasting oxygen and space? There ain't no justice in the world.

A higher education institution sidign with islamists and leftists? Never?

/sarc

Such is the state of higher education in the West. Makes me ashamed.

I wouldn't pay too much attention to the Uni of Manchester myself. Like all Unis in the UK , they've given up any pretence of real research and learning . As an example , last year there were more students starting courses in Media Studies alone than in all Engineering disciplines combined . Universities throughout the land have been closing or severely slimming their Chemistry , Physics and Engineering Faculties . Why ? Because students find those studies 'too difficult' - the poor lambs - and prefer instead subjective courses which don't deal in difficult stuff like facts and which it is practically impossible to actually fail. Joke courses like Basket Weaving and Golf Course Maintenance unfortunately aren't fictional . Precisely how many journalists do we need ? How many engineers ? You figure .
That the U of M supports the Palis is about as surprising to hear as it would be to you in the US to hear that , say , Berkeley does .
All those universities in Palestine would suggest a society that values learning . But women and girls are discouraged from educational advancement , and in any case one third of employed Palis are in 'Security' . You really need a Uni education for that ?

So, how many units of credit do the Manchester Students get for blowing up Israelis? Is that part of Physical Ed? Or Religious Studies? Are there advanced studies? Grad school for this?

Just out of interest, how many universities were there in the West Bank and Gaza before the so-called "occupation" started?

For the answer, think bagel.
