Islamic studies going major.

What a steaming pile of bovine excrement!

This line stuck with me; Other cultural areas of study at BC include American studies, Asian studies, and Irish studies, all of which are currently minor programs.

Notice that those other "cultural areas" were pretty much geographically identified. By contrast the rest of the article is devoted to the "Islam" in Middle Eastern & Islamic Studies. I get the distinct impression it's indoctrination into a religion, not a culture. Can you spell "homegrown jihadists" ?

The War Department and I were discussing the Crusades last night. She owned up to knowing only that they happened, nothing else. I'd say that was pretty standard for our public school system these days. Luckily for myself one of the benefits of my early years was a comparatively indepth instruction on the Crusades history. I'm still learning but it seems I know a lot more than I thought.

Here's the point. Send your average, ill-informed college student of modern day America to an institution pushing revisionist history and you'll get the expected product; a Jew hating, Islamofacist apologist. Keep graduating kids of this sort and soon they'll influence foreign and domestic policy. In no time flat we'll stand idly by while Israel is wiped off the map. Next we can expect dhimmi status for all non-Muslims. They'll take us down via a silent, nonviolent jihad.
