Professors Shill for Islam

Carl Ernst

Writing today at FrontPage Magazine for Campus Watch, Andrew Harrod reports on UNC-Chapel Hill professor Carl Ernst’s recent lecture at a Washington, DC, institute founded by the self-professed “anti-Zionist” Norton Mezvisnky. Any problems within Islam are of course the West’s fault:

Merely ten people, including two imams and a reporter, heard University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, professor of religious studies Carl W. Ernst deliver the “First Annual Ibrahim Abu-Rabi Lecture” on May 7 at the International Council for Middle East Studies (ICMES) in the Georgetown section of Washington, D.C. Ernst was introduced by ICMES founder and president Norton Mezvinsky, who came to ICMES after a 42-year career teaching Middle East history at Central Connecticut State University.

A self-professed “anti-Zionist,” Mezvinsky endorsed the infamous 1975 Zionism-is-racism U.N. resolution, developed amiable relations with the deranged anti-Semitic Lyndon LaRouche movement, and once spoke at the LaRouchite Schiller Institute in Germany. He also co-authored Jewish Fundamentalism in Israel with the late Israel Shahak, whose work, MEF Fellow Asaf Romirowsky wrote, “rests on his conviction that Judaism is the font of all evil and that most global issues can ultimately be traced back to Judaism via a world-wide Jewish conspiracy.”
