The Enemy Within The Gates Of Academia

While the average academic tends to be a progressive idjit who hates America, hates Israel and Western Civilization and spreads DEI garbage to further those ends, some members of the Red-Green alliance want to take it a step further and get more spicy:

The Detroit News:  UM group orchestrated terror campaign to sever Israel ties, feds say

Federal prosecutors unsealed an indictment Wednesday against eight people linked to the University of Michigan accused of orchestrating plans to threaten university leaders, police and businesses with a wave of crimes designed to force the university to sever ties with Israel. 

And who are these fine folk?  The names are not surprising: 

Those charged in the indictment unsealed Wednesday were:

∎ Zainab Hakim, 23, of Canton Township.

∎ Amatullah Hakim, 21, of Ann Arbor.

∎ Paige Feyock, 26, of Ann Arbor.

∎ Ahmet Korkaya, 28, of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

∎ Jonathan Zou, 22, of Ann Arbor.

∎ Alexander Sepulveda, 23, of Chicago.

∎ Mariam Odeh, 24, of Dearborn.

∎ Colin Weger, 24, of Ann Arbor. 

Oh, and it turns out Mariam Odeh happens to be an allegedly ex-campaign staffer for Democrat US Senate candidate Abdul Al-Sayed - even as she was paid by the campaign in March of this year, and was apparently on staff in April, so "ex" sounds rather recent don't it?  Funny coincidence, that.

The Detroit News: Ex-Abdul El-Sayed campaign staffer charged in UM threat case                                                                                                                            
Progressives seek to destroy Western Civilization.  Islam is simply not compatible with Western Civilization, even when you wrap it in academic garb.

About time we start taking this threat more seriously. 

Bury That Lede There Detroit Free Press

The Detroit Free Press: Eid celebrated by thousands in Michigan as war abroad dampens mood

Thousands of Muslims across Michigan celebrated Friday, March 20, the Eid al-Fitr holiday, marking the end of Ramadan, a month of spiritual reflection and fasting marred by wars abroad this year that affected many in metro Detroit. 

Nice job Detroit Free Press on skipping right past the elephant in the article: three Islamic terrorist attacks in the United states during Ramadan, including one in metro Detroit a few short days ago. 

No mention at all of that rather important local event, that most certainly "affected many in metro Detroit" funny, that. 

Meanwhile, the 2026 Ramadan Hostility Scoreboard includes a worldwide total of at least 133 Islamic terrorist attacks with 499 people murdered in those terrorist attacks.

No other religion has quite the reputation and track record for annually going out and committing murder during their proclaimed holy days. 

So Biden Just Threw Israel Under The Bus for Islamic Votes

The Biden administration form the outset wasn't happy about Israel defending itself from the Hamas October 7 attack.

Remember the first tweet after the attack form the Biden administration was a stern notice that Israel was not to retaliate:

Now, fearing they may loose the Muslim vote in Michigan and thereby lose enough votes to have Michigan go to Trump, they just threw Israel under the bus in the UN Security Council. 

The resolution the Biden Administration refused to veto would, if enacted, give Hamas time to rebuild and refortify its positions by requiring a ceasefire during Ramadan - the same ceasefire Hamas had rejected as they refused to release the hostages - and leaves the Israeli hostages (including Americans) in Rafah with their captors.

If it is actually enacted, I bet Hamas will continue to fire rockets at Israel and perform other attacks,  and then  Israel will be blamed for breaking the ceasefire when it responds to Hamas attacks. 

Shame on the Biden Administration and for the other members of the security council that voted for this resolution for this craven appeasement of terrorists for domestic political gain.

No, They Just Don't Learn

At the same time the headline in the Detroit News reads IS claims responsibility for deadly terrorist attack (changed now to this link: Islamic State says it set off deadly bombs in Brussels. With the link now going to a story that reads Local cops: Security ramped up after Belgium attacks reflecting heightened security in Detroit due to the threat of terrorist attacks, and with over 20 people are now dead in Belgium after a series of terrorist attacks by the enemy-that-shall-not-be-named, we have the following editorial that ran right underneath the story:

The Detroit News: Our Editorial: Keep door open to refugees

They certainly didn't read the text of their own story about local security:

Lt. Gen. Vincent Stewart, director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, warned Congress last month that Islamic State extremists posing as refugees “will probably attempt to ... direct attacks on the U.S. homeland in 2016.”

In testimony before the House Homeland Security Committee last week, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said accepting Syrian refugees escaping their country’s civil war could pose a security threat, adding that security has been stepped up.

And they're not just advocating for just any refugees, but the very same refugees that are claimed by ISIS, the perpetrator of the Belgium attacks, to have terrorist infiltrators among them.

The lack of self-awareness on the parts of the editors regarding risk management, reality, and even on what is reported in their own paper at the same time as their editorial is rather staggering.
