"Campus Watch" Lists 108 Academics
Supporting Apologists for Terrorism

Middle East Forum October 21, 2002

http://www.campus-watch.org/article/id/269

Philadelphia – The Middle East Forum posted a new page
today on www.campus-watch.org, a site launched last
month to monitor the campus-based Middle East
specialists. The new page lists more than 100 academics
from North American institutions who requested to be
listed on the site in solidarity with eight academics
identified as apologists for Palestinian violence or
militant Islam.

The page (www.campus-watch.org/apologists.php) is
posted as part of the ongoing Campus Watch effort to
monitor and critique, with the goal of improving,
Middle East studies at North American institutions of
higher learning.

"After we launched www.campus-watch.org, academics
deluged us with emails; some of them requested
inclusion with the original eight professors cited,"
says Daniel Pipes, director of the Middle East Forum.

"Most of them are academics from other fields,"
continues Pipes, "and I suspect that few of them
actually read our statement of purpose, for very few of
them understand what issues Campus Watch was created to
address. Still, if they insist on declaring public
solidarity with Palestinian or Islamist violence, this
is important information for university stakeholders to
be aware of, so we are posting their names."

Campus Watch addresses five problems in Middle East
studies: analytical failures, the mixing of politics
with scholarship, intolerance of alternative views,
apologetics, and the abuse of power over students.

The Middle East Forum is a 501(c)3 think tank that
works to define and promote American interests in the
region and to shape the intellectual climate in which
U.S. policy is made.

You have a strong point there. In the text Campus
Watch said:

It appears that one of the islamist orgs canvassed a
lot of people and asked them to email support and these
silly sheep did what they were told.

They feel something.

I read a great line in the Post yesterday in an article by Jacob
Granatstien about the US/Canadian relationship:

"Now the possibility of an American-led war against Saddam Hussein has
revved up the anti-American engines once more. Pierre Berton, Margaret
Atwood and the country's other foreign policy experts have denounced
the United States as a warmongering superpower and demanded that
Canada refuse to participate (as if the Canadian Forces had the
capabilities to join in a war)."

For a book wirter he is pretty good when limited to 1,000 words.
