Jewish Professor Quit University of Calgary After School Refused to Act Against Students Who Endorsed Terror Groups.

Jewish Professor Quit University of Calgary After School Refused to Act Against Students Who Endorsed Terror Groups. HT: Algemeiner.

A tenured professor at Canada’s University of Calgary said he left the school after it ignored his concerns about students spreading radical Islamist views, the National Post reported on Thursday.

Aaron Hughes, an author on religion who holds a PhD on Islamic studies, said he once found an Arabic message written on his classroom’s chalkboard endorsing terror groups Islamic Jihad and Hamas. The professor and researcher, who is Jewish, said he considered the message to be anti-Semitic and that the university refused to remove the offending student from his class.

“Ultimately, the reason I left the University of Calgary is because my colleagues gave me no support,” he said.

“I would have to go teach this class as a victim staring my aggressor in the face,” he said.

The university also failed to act when Hughes reported that he was uncomfortable teaching religion in what he called a hostile environment, he told the National Post. Hughes also became concerned when he heard students in his Islamic studies classes promoting a view of Islam that denounced scholars as heretics and certain fields of study as non-Muslim.

Hughes said he is not surprised Calgarians have joined extremists in battle, given what he experienced at the University of Calgary. He wondered whether radical Muslim influences on university campuses are helping encourage youths to support Islamist jihad in Syria and Iraq.

Hughes said he once saw a young Muslim stand up during a University of Calgary memorial service for the 9/11 terrorist attacks and say, “Islam will always stand up for those who are dispossessed.” Later, he saw a Calgary student wearing a Hamas terror group headband. Hmmmm........I guess "Canadian Values" have gone down the Drain thanks to 'Liberal PC'?
