Sami Al-Arian joined academics and attorneys last Wednesday for a webinar on "Global War on Terrorism and its Impact on Muslim Charitable Institutions." It was sponsored by the Muslim Legal Fund of America (MLFA) in collaboration with Indiana University's McKinney School of Law and its Muslim Philanthropy Initiative.
Why did two Indiana University branches lend their school's prestige to a man recorded exhorting an audience: "Jihad is our path ... Victory to Islam ... Death to Israel"?
He meant it literally, telling his own 2020 academic meeting that the Muslim world "cannot realize its full potential without defeating and dismantling the Zionist project."
At another event, Al-Arian asked, "Have we forgotten the Jews and who they are?" God "made [them] into monkeys and pigs ... had cursed in this world and in the hereafter, and had imposed a punishment on them in this world until Judgment Day."
