EXCERPTS

The Columbia event was a clear demonstration of the clash of U.S. “civil marketplace of ideas� with the canon of Mahdist Sharia. Witness the absurdity of prayers offered by Ahmadinejad for the re-emergence of the “12th hidden Imam� and conversion of the audience.

What lies behind Bollinger’s dilemma is “academic freedom� manipulated by a minority of faculty at Columbia who are anti-Israel, pro-Palestinian and pro-Islamist Iranian regime advocates. They succeeded in providing a platform for a radical Islamist terrorist leader, Iran’s Ahmadinejad. that is a cautionary tale of how a minority of the Columbia faculty from the School of universal Public Affairs (SIPA) Middle East Studies program boxed Bollinger into that event.

This elite university President was sandbagged in the Ahmadinejad PR coup by a cabal of Islamist Iranian regime apologists at Columbia’s, School of universal Public Affairs (SIPA): Middle East History Professor Richard Bulliet, Dr. Gary Sick of the Gulf 2000 Project and acting Dean John H.

Coatsworth of SIPA.

As someone commented, the score for the Columbia Ahmadinejad event was, “Bollinger: 0 and Ahmadinejad: 1.� Credit that to the stealth team of Dean Coatsworth, Professor Bulliet and Dr. Sick at SIPA who pushed Bollinger into that box in the name of “free speech� only to supply a platform for a radical Iranian Islamist, President Ahmadinejad.

General Assembly meetings, but the fact of the matter is, the Iranian President had been invited to speak by Columbia’s School of worldly Public Affairs, not by Bollinger himself.
