Ohio State Lectured On ‘Islamophobia’ Three Months After Terror Attack
After being subject to a terrorist attack by a Somali refugee student less than three months ago, Ohio State University (OSU) is hosting a lecture Monday night on the dangers of “Islamophobia.”
The College Fix reports that the university’s Middle East Studies Center and Multicultural Center are jointly hosting a visit by author Nathan Lean, who will tell students about the “pernicious phenomenon” of Islamophobia that has reached “a fevered pitch” in American society.
Lean’s visit to the campus comes about three months after Somali refugee and Ohio State student Abdul Artan drove his car into a crowd of students and starting stabbing people before an OSU police officer shot him dead. Artan had identified himself as an al-Qaida supporter.
The author is in town to discuss his book “The Islamophobia Industry: How the Right Manufactures Fear of Muslims.” Lean’s website is replete with positive reviews of his work: “Nathan Lean sees the values of cultural and religious pluralism as vital to the democratic life of any society,” claims the Middle East Policy Council. While The Muscat Daily notes that “Nathan’s writing on Islamophobia will shape our understanding of this subject for a long time to come.”

What is up with the Left’s strange political fetish of self-flagellation? I really don’t understand why they insist on apologizing for the people who won’t do it themselves.
Come to think of it, with him being a Somalian “refugee” he would have been kept out if Trump’s immigration halt had not been blocked and had been in place at that time. Think of the pain that could have been spared…
Why is this news? Higher ed really thinks their students are this stupid. And if they’re not…well, that’s what higher ed is for.
Islamophobia — A word that was invented by CAIR, the main U.S. subdivision of the Muslim Brotherhood, a terrorist group and unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land trials. It is mentioned as a strategy in The Project, the Brotherhood’s blueprint for stealth jihad in this country.
Having a class on “Islamophobia” is much like having a class which explains how Good Guy A. Hitler worked, unseccessfully, to prevent the mass suicide of those six million Jews.
