I was recently reading a couple articles on-line about what is happening at Yale University. For some inexplicable reason Yale has recruited a former Taliban official named Sayed Rahmatullah Hashemi to attend their university. Rahmatullah was the spokesperson for the Taliban before their fall in Afghanistan and to this point he has not apologized for their legacy of brutality and murder.
His acceptance to the university, coupled with his lack of repentance, has caused quite an outrage among Yale alumni. Some of these alumni have formed a group that is encouraging donors to send press on nails to Yale instead of donations. The nails are a symbolic gesture in reference the Taliban's pulling out the nails of women that wore nail polish. I hope this protest works but so far it has only served to infuriate Yale officials.
Apparently, after reading about their efforts the assistant director of giving at Yale sent an email to one of the alumni behind the group's efforts. Here is the text of that email:
"What is wrong with you? Are you retarded? This is the most disgraceful alumni article that I have ever read in my life. You failed to mention that you've never contributed to the Yale Alumni Fund in your life. But to suggest that others follow your negative example is disgusting."
Let me get this straight, at Yale they feel it is disgusting to protest the school by not sending money but they don't find it disgusting that they recruited and admitted a totalitarian thug who contributed to the torture of women. It's hard to believe that such a shocking attitude could come from one of America's most prestigious universities. But then I remembered this is the same school that sued the federal government because they didn't want ROTC recruiters on their campus.
Somewhere along the way Yale has gone seriously adrift and lost all sense of moral clarity. It's sad that our country's best and brightest minds are submitting themselves to learn in this type of environment. I pray that these future leaders are innocuous to Yale's repugnant view of right and wrong.
One last thing, if you want to join the protest against Mr. Rahmatullah , you can send a nail to the following address:
Yale University
Office of Development
P.O. Box 2038

The answer to your question is $$$$$. Wealthy Muslims are starting to buy influence in America's Ivory Tower. They're building multi-million education centers on university campuses to teach Islam and tolerance of muslims.
In other words they want to teach the nation that elevated the freedom of religion more than any other nation in history to be more tolerant of Islam. This is pure hypocrisy from these Muslims until they build similar education centers in the Middle East teaching Christianity, religious freedom, and until they practice tolerance of doctrinal discussion themselves.
Islamic facism, intolerance, violence, and hypocrisy must be stopped. I just wonder if they're separable.
