Who’s
Vetting Muslim Chaplains On College Campuses?
01/24/2012
Homeland
Security: To please Muslim-rights groups, more and more colleges are
hiring
Muslim chaplains, only to watch them radicalize students. Campuses need
tougher
background checks.
Alarmingly,
some chaplains have actively supported al-Qaida and called for violent
jihad
against “kaffirs,” or infidels. And yet they still have access to
students, and
remain on the university payroll.
Take Imam
Abdullah Faaruuq, Muslim chaplain at Northeastern University in Boston.
He has
urged Muslims to pick up the “gun and sword” on behalf of recently
imprisoned
al-Qaida terrorists.
Last month,
Faaruuq held a fundraiser for Aafia Siddiqui, a one-time MIT student
also known
as “Lady al-Qaida,” who’s serving an 86-year prison sentence for
opening fire
on U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan.
Siddiqui, a
senior al-Qaida operative based in Pakistan, was captured with notes
about a
“mass casualty attack” in the U.S., along with a list of New York
landmarks.
“What a
brave woman she continues to be, and how much her bravery and her faith
and her
belief warrants our support at this time,” said Faaruuq, as he
encouraged
Massachusetts Muslims to help raise $30,000 for her appeal.
“She’s only
guilty of defending herself,” he said. In fact, Siddiqui yelled “Death
to
America” as she fired on soldiers. A federal judge called her actions
premeditated.
While
ignoring such evidence, the Northeastern chaplain condemned American
soldiers
as “kaffirs” and exhorted Muslims to “cut through” them with machetes.
“Go out and
do your job,” he said, referring to jihad.
No wonder
Islamic extremism has spread at Northeastern.
Then
there’s Khalid Griggs, assistant chaplain at Wake Forest University in
North
Carolina. Upon his hiring, Wake Forest’s president praised him as a
“well-respected individual.”
Yes,
well-respected among the radical Muslim Brotherhood.
Griggs has
served as a leader of the Islamic Circle of North America, or ICNA,
cited in
the Muslim Brotherhood’s recently declassified founding archives as one
of its
front groups. He is also a senior official in the Muslim Alliance of
North
America. MANA was co-founded by radical Muslim cleric Siraj Wahhaj, an
unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
“It is
difficult to understand how the president of such a respected American
university could have remained so oblivious to the serious implications
of
allowing an individual like Griggs with openly publicized links to the
Muslim
Brotherhood access to Wake Forest students,” said terror expert Clare
Lopez.
ICNA is an
offshoot of the Muslim Students Association, another Brotherhood front.
MSA has
grown to one of the nation’s largest college groups with more than 150
campus
chapters.
MSA
chapters from New York to California have extolled suicide bombers and
other
terrorists as “martyrs” and the “only people who truly fear Allah.”
And they
are a big reason why, according to a recent Pew Research poll, one in
four
college-age Muslims in America support suicide bombings.
MSA also
organizes anti-Israel student rallies, and hectors college
administrators into
Islamizing campus facilities. MSA and Muslim chaplains work in lockstep.
Clearly,
regents and administrators are clueless about this dangerous threat.
Unless
they put in place better vetting systems, radical Islamists will be
able to
infiltrate college campuses and indoctrinate impressionable students
who
graduate to become jihadists instead of productive members of society.
