Georgetown Jihad
Just months later, university ejects evangelical Christians from campus.
"The Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding at Georgetown University has been renamed after Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal donated $20 million to its projects. And while that may be just the tail, the dog appears to be moving away from its historic Catholic and Jesuit teaching philosophy too.
"The Center's leaders say it now will be used to put on workshops regarding Islam, fostering exchanges with the Muslim world, addressing U.S. policy towards the Muslim world, working on the relationship of Islam and Arab culture, addressing Muslim citizenship and civil liberties, and developing exchange programs for students from the Muslim world.
"The "Christian" part of the center's projects at the university that has a history of 200 years of higher education following its Christian founding, is conspicuous by its absence in its website plans for its 10-year future."

Hat Tip: Seraphic Friend, David Paulin
Has it ever occurred to anybody that all these so-called interfaith exchange programs that are funded by the Saudis should really be in Saudi Arabia? Afterall, this is a state where there is not one Church, not one Synagogue, not one Buddhist Temple, where "interfaith understanding" is, ahem, sorely lacking.
Of course the Saudis have no intention of promoting interfaith dialogue. This is a complete scam. These university grants are just another face of jihad, and shame on the greedy universities for allowing their campuses to become breeding grounds for anti-American, anti-Jewish and anti-Christian values.

Seraphic Secret is private property, that's right, it's an extension of our home, and as such, Karen and I have instituted two Seraphic Rules and we ask commentors to act respectfully.
1. No profanity.2. No Israel bashing. We debate, we discuss, we are respectful. You know what Israel bashing is. The world is full of it. Seraphic Secret is one of the few places in the world that will not tolerate this form of anti-Semitism. That's it. Break either of these rules and you will be banned.
Anti-American, anti-Jewish and anti-Christian values? Yep, that sounds like the Jesuits. It's what they do best.
