Hussein Ibish, the rising star for Islamic “moderates” and anti-American radical apologist for Islam who frequently appears on cable news such as Foxnews, CNN, the Early show, Oreilly, CNN, MSNBC, Evening News among many others is at it again.
Here he is yesterday speaking with Matt Lauer, defending Harvard for kicking men out of the gym for certain hours to allow Muslim women to work out. I can imagine if it were Jews or Christians who wanted special treatment, I don’t think Lauer or Ibish would be so accomodating:
From an excellent article by Daniel Pipes:
–Ibish apologizes for many groups the U.S. government deems terrorist, starting with Osama bin Laden. “I’m skeptical,” was his reaction after a federal grand jury indicted bin Laden for bombing two U.S. embassies in East Africa. Ibish dismisses bin Laden as a blowhard who gives “blood-curdling interviews,” a guy who “lives in a cave in Afghanistan” and someone seen by Arabs as “a crank and a dangerous fanatic.”–
–The list of apologetics goes on. President Bush calls Hamas “one of the deadliest terrorist organizations in the world today” but our lobbyist friend touts its accomplishments “running hospitals and schools and orphanages.”–
Ibish’s words prompt other comments, too:
- He plays with facts – at will doubling U.S. governmental aid to Israel or tripling the number of Iraqis killed by the sanctions regime. One exasperated columnist characterizes his writings as “systematic deceit.”
- Anyone he dislikes is liable to be compared to Nazis. Officers of the Massachusetts Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission are “stormtroopers.” A mild newspaper article about Islam is “genocidal” and “reminiscent of the most bizarre passages of Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf.” U.S. sanctions on Iraq are “genocidal.”
- He bandies about accusations of espionage for Israel. American journalists he disagrees with are “transparently operating in concert and at the direction of the Israeli government.” The Anti-Defamation League is an arm of Israeli intelligence.
- As co-editor, Ibish turned the Graduate Voice at the University of Massachusetts into what one writer calls “such an anti-Semitic rag” that the university chancellor had to establish an anti-Semitism task force to respond to his activities.
- In a bizarre twist, Ibish takes pride in his own immoral lifestyle, advocating “redemption through intoxication.” He contends that “Those of us who smoke, drink, speak freely and have unauthorized sex occupy both the intellectually sound position and the moral high ground” compared to the “neo-puritans” who frown on such activities.
- In 1997, while a teaching assistant at the University of Massachusetts, he railed against a university regulation prohibiting sex between employees (like himself) and students, calling this an “all-out assault on f-ing.” He especially decried the impact this would have on homosexuals, furious at the exposure this could bring if “you are gay and don’t feel comfortable in announcing that fact to a homophobic world.”
