Educating about Jihadists

Show young adult students the truth about Islam and antisemitism, and you’ll get a score of interesting responses.

With Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity (DIE) and Critical Race Theory (CRT) overshadowing an instructor’s life, it is a challenge to educate. Nonetheless, sometimes there is a glimmer of hope.

One of the assigned readings where I teach is the 2002 New York Times article titled “Where Nothing Says Everything” by Suzanne Berne. It is a description of Berne’s visit to Ground Zero, seven months after the terrorist attacks.

Many students are unfamiliar with the jihadist philosophy behind those heinous deeds.

So I show them the 2005 film Obsession: Radical Islam’s War Against the West. It depicts the goals and methodology of those jihadists who wish to obliterate the Jewish people and infiltrate the West. The film also draws parallels between World War II’s Nazi movement and Islamism and the initial tepid response by the West to those threats.

Here are the comments of my students.

The only question I have is whether or not the problem with radical Islam still persists to this day; are young boys and girls still being taught to hate and despise Jewish people?

Indeed, nothing has changed. It is a constant deluge of hate-filled training, which Itamar Marcus at the Palestinian Media Watch (PMW) as well as MEMRI have depicted for years.

What stood out to me from the film was the radical viewpoints the children were being taught. Growing up being taught to hate raises a violent generation for people which never ends well as we saw in 9/11. I found it very disturbing when the Palestinians treated this as a victory.

Palestinians were thrilled about 9-11.

Why doesn’t the West teach their children about the dangers of such radical views?

Why, indeed?
