University Of Arizona Instructor: U.S. Troops Worse Than Islamic State

by JASmius



Shocked, shocked you will be to learn the name of this University of Arizona "instructor":

A University of Arizona instructor is facing criticism for claiming that the U.S. military is “a greater threat” than the Islamic State (IS) and for portraying American soldiers as anti-Muslim rapists who commit crimes on par with—or even worse than—IS itself.

University of Arizona instructor Musa al-Gharbi—who also serves as an academic affiliate at the university’s Southwest Initiative for the Study of Middle East Conflicts (SISMEC)—drew the controversial comparison between IS (also known as ISIL or ISIS) and U.S. soldiers in a recent column arguing that America’s moral outrage at IS’s crimes is hypocritical.

Al-Gharbi’s comments, published in the online publication TruthOut and several other places, attracted outrage from experts who said that taxpayer funds should not be supplementing a university that encourages such dialogue about current events.

Publicly-overfunded institutions of "higher" "learning," such has the University of Arizona, have tenured jihadists on their faculties, ladies and gentlemen.  Think about that the next time you hear a Democrat bleating that we "don't invest enough" in "education".

And when Adam Kredo says that "Professor" al-Gharbi smeared U.S. servicepeople as "worse than the Islamic State," he wasn't exaggerating:

“Many of the same behaviors condemned by the Obama administration and used to justify its most recent campaign into Iraq and Syria are commonly perpetrated by U.S. troops and are ubiquitous in the broader American society,” al-Gharbi wrote.
U.S. soldiers and contractors have “repeatedly used rape as a weapon of war” and have committed crimes similar to those perpetrated by IS militants, al-Gharbi maintains in the article.

“The initial driver of U.S. involvement was the outrage over ISIS’ capture of thousands of Yazidi women and the sexual violence subsequently exercised against them—horrors which provided moral credence to the war against ISIS in much the same way that the 2001 U.S. war against the Taliban was justified in part by highlighting the plight of Afghan women living under their rule,” he wrote.

“However, over the course of that war, and the subsequent 2003 war in Iraq, U.S. soldiers and contractors repeatedly used rape as a weapon of war, both against prisoners and the local civilian population,” al-Gharbi writes. “But perhaps more disturbing than the crimes committed by U.S. personnel against Iraqis and Afghans were the atrocities committed by servicemen against their fellow soldiers.”

Instances of beheadings and even cannibalism by IS militants also are reminiscent of how U.S. soldiers “torture their enemies,” according to al-Gharbi.

“U.S. soldiers and contractors have and continue to torture their enemies, often taking obscene photos to brag about and reminisce upon their acts,” al-Gharbi writes.

He also goes on to claim that the U.S. military has been “heavily infiltrated by white-supremacists, neo-Nazis, and other hate groups.”

Critics of al-Gharbi’s inflammatory comments said that the University of Arizona should immediately condemn his views.

Are you kidding?  "Professor" al-Gharbi should be deported - preferably to Syria.  And I'm being charitable.

But then he isn't saying anything that the Obama Regime doesn't already believe, which is why there'll be no condemnation of his literary jihadism.  Heck, he'll probably get a bonus and a promotion from the militant dhimmi infidels who have facilitated his infiltration into the highest levels of the Obamerikastani re-education apparatus.  Or, as they refer to it, "Muslim outreach".
