Lincoln Prof Kaukab Siddique Doubles Down on Bigoted Comments

Kaukab Siddique, the Lincoln University professor whose slurs against Jews, gays, and women have been garnering headlines, is doubling down on his bigotry. In an interview with the Philadelphia Inquirer, Siddique insisted that American Freedom Defense Initiative co-founder Pamela Geller, whom he’d previously classified as a “dirty Jewish Zionist thug,” is a “Jewish,” “white . . . supremacist,” who, in organizing the “Draw Mohammed” contest in Garland, Texas earlier this year, committed “cultural genocide.” He also engaged in another favorite pastime, Holocaust denial, and claimed that the U.S. military has “fallen below Hitler” in its treatment of prisoners. Just another day in the Ivory Tower.
