Sena Karasipahi is from Turkey. She “teaches her opinion as fact and tests you as such,” and so she fits right in with the Leftist academic establishment in the U.S.
“Texas A&M professor teaches that Hamas is a ‘charity organization’, students say,” by Jarryd Jaeger, Post Millennial, October 21, 2023:
A professor at Texas A&M University has been accused by former students of teaching that the Iranian-backed Palestinian terrorist organization Hamas is nothing more than a “charity organization.”
Sena Karasipahi, who has worked at the university since 2006, currently serves as an instructional assistant professor in the Department of International Affairs.
In numerous RateMyProfessors reviews, students who have been enrolled in classes taught by Karasipahi reported that her lectures were “heavily ideologically slanted,” and often contained biased, if not outright false information.
One reviewer who took INTS321: Political Islam and Jihad with Karasipahi said she “teaches her opinion as fact and tests you as such.”
Another noted she does not allow students to take notes via electronics, adding that they “believe this is so no video of opinion as fact and very obvious bias becomes known outside of her class.”
In an interview with the Texas Scorecard, a former student said that Karasipahi also referred to Hamas as a “humanitarian group,” and suggested it was created in part by Israel “like the US helped create Al Qaeda.”
“[Karasipahi] says it’s not a religious war,” the student said, referring to the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Palestinians, “and has even claimed that Hamas cannot be anti-Semitic because they are semites themselves.”…

What an ugly mind to go with an ugly Muslim face !

Those who know the Truth about islam and the mozlum mindset, cannot be surprised by this.
.
If the EEOC did not fight for mozlums to be hired, there would not be so many of these scum *teaching* the children and *grading* them on their acceptance of the lies as Truth.
It’s too bad she is aware that students wanted to capture her on video so others could know about her. As it is, word of mouth is pretty effective. More of us know now than knew before.

The First Amendment should not be for Nazis and Terrorists. The Americans who died for our Freedoms and the people’s right to speak openly did not die so that these enemies of Free Speech in every place they rule from Nazi Germany to Communist Russia to Gaza can come to America, obtain a professorship in an American University and simply lie in our faces. American students who have become ignorant of History are simple fodder for these lies. Our nation foolishly no longer teaches our History but allows false stories made up by American hating members of an anti-US Intelligensia who twist both American History and Western History. This results in a slow death of American Freedom. No nation but ours shows such disdain for its founding fathers who provided us the ideas and documents to teach us how to stay Free. The cancer of hating America is most dangerous when it is allowed to be taught in our schools. It is suicide.
Kepha says
I am not for crying “Fire!” in a crowded building, but I tend to be pretty fundamentalist when it comes to First Amendment rights. I am for refuting bad ideas rather than thinking I’ve converted someone when I have only silenced him. An uncle-in-law was proud of his service in the ROC army in keeping the Communists off Jinmen (Kinmen/Quemoy), Relatives of my father suffered in the Shoah. But I will not ban Mao’s works or Mein Kampf, despicable thought they and their authors ay be,
I agree that American and Western history are now very badly taught. I agree that we have an insane and barbarophilic Leftist intelligentsia with too much influence in academia, schools, and media. But truth has a way of getting out, and people sometimes change when they have more information. It’s always fun to remind a class that the same judge who hanged witches at Salem also wrote a blistering polemic against the African slave trade; that the “blood-sucking” capitalists of the railroad industry paid Homer Plessy’s legal fees all the way up to the Supreme Court; that most places worth living were “colonized” one way or another (if not by Europeans, then the Thai eating up Mon and Khmer land; the Han Chinese displacing the Hundred Yue, Hmong, Yao, Zhuang, Tujia, and Yi; the Na-Dine invading Anasazi ground) and any number of complicating issues in the accepted narratives of public school curricula.

Kepha,
Sure, every once in a while you’ll find a Leftist / Marxist who suddenly realizes that they have been very wrong in their beliefs.
David Horwitz is a prime example, but he is rare…

OK, by now I’m sure most of you have heard of the Conspiracy Theories. The general theme is that the disappearance of Christians, Zoroastrians, and Jews in the Middle East, and Hindus and Buddhists on the subcontinent is somehow the fault of Muslims. I’ve included a list of quotes from the Qur’ an, and the Hadiths below that should dispel any such concerns.
.
What people consistently overlook is the enormous contributions that Islam has made to mankind over the past 1400 years. The list would fill volumes. I’m sure dozens of items have already filled your mind so I’ll set that topic aside.
..
According to Sharia law:
1. Muslims are to subjugate the world under Islam (Quran 9:29).
2. Criticizing Muhammad or denying that he is a prophet is punishable by death.
3. Criticizing or denying Allah is punishable by death.
4. Criminals of genocide, mass-rape, looting etc (Hiraba) will not be punished if they repent.
5. Muslims should engage in Taqiyya and lie to non-Muslims to advance Islam.
6. Theft is punishable by amputation of the hands (Quran 5:38)
7. No retaliation for parents and grandparents for killing their offspring.
8. Amputation punishments for successive thefts: 1st left hand, 2nd right hand, 3rd left foot, 4th right foot, 5th head.
9. You can enslave for sex or work (Quran 4:3 4:24 5:89 33:50 58:3 70:30)
10. One can have sexual intercourse with a captive woman after she is clear of her period and/or delivery. If she has a husband, then her marriage is abrogated when she becomes a captive.
11. You will kill non-Muslims to receive 72 virgins in Heaven (Quran 9:111)
12. Muslim men have sexual rights to any woman/girl not wearing the Hijab. Taharrush Gamea is the coordinated seхual assault of a girl or a woman in public by a mass of Muslim men. Taharrush Gamea is not a “game” as some Muslims claim. In Arabic, Taharrush means “harassment,” Jinsi means “seхual,” and Gamea (pronounced and spelled, Jamai by non-Egyptian Muslims) means “mass” or “group.”
13. You can beat sex slaves (Quran 4:34)
14. Kill Jews and Christians if they do not convert or pay a Jizya tax (Quran 9:29)
15. You will terrorize non-Muslims (Quran 8:12 8:60)
16. A Muslim shall not be put to death for murdering an unbeliever.
17. Fight everyone in the way of Allah and kill those who disbelieve Mohammad (Ibn Ishaq 992)
18. A Muslim who becomes a non-Muslim is punishable by death.
19. A non-Muslim who leads a Muslim away from Islam is punishable by death.
20. A non-Muslim man who marries a Muslim woman is punishable by death.
21. A woman or girl who has been raped cannot testify in court against her rapist(s).
22. Testimonies of 4 male witnesses are required to prove rape of a female (Quran 24:13).
23. A woman or girl who alleges rape without producing 4 male witnesses is guilty of adultery.
24. A woman or girl found guilty of adultery is punishable by death.
25. A male convicted of rape can have his conviction dismissed by marrying his victim.
26. A woman can have 1 husband, a man can have up to 4 wives, but Muhammad can have 9.
27. A man can marry an infant girl and consummate the marriage when she is 9 years old.
28. Girls’ clitoris should be cut (Muhammad’s words, Book 41, Kitab Al-Adab, Hadith 5251).
29. A man can beat his wife for insubordination (see Quran 4:34).
30. A man can unilaterally divorce his wife; a wife needs her husband’s consent to divorce.
31. A divorced wife loses custody of all children over 6 years of age or when they exceed it.
32. A woman’s testimony in court, allowed in property cases, carries ½ the weight of a man’s.
33. A female heir inherits half of what a male heir inherits.
34. A woman cannot speak alone to a man who is not her husband or relative.
35. Meat to eat must come from animals that have been sacrificed to Allah – i.e., be “Halal.”
36. Husbands are obliged to provide only food, clothes, and accommodation to wives. Anything else including doctor’s fees, medicines etc is a charity to her. A rebellious wife does not get anything.

A charity organisation whose members rape and torture and behead. What a novel point of view this evil piece shit has on life. As for her bullshit about how the Muslim hatred towards the Jewish people can’t be called anti-semitism, well, what a smart- arsed, slimy wanker she is. Call it Anti-Jewish then from the Muslim scum, who, of course, hate anybody who is not a part of their evil, hate filled religious ideology.

Parents would be so much better off sending their children to trade school than the ideologically captured American university system. When I went to college, I came out with a skill I used in a career spanning nearly three decades. Just before I retired, I was interviewing young people to train for my position and found none of them prepared for certification as a paralegal or even for working in the legal field at all. They all had their pronouns in their bios though. The left and the RINOs are destroying our country while Biden’s open border creates what will become a new third world American nation. I could just cry for my children’s futures.

She is right on both accounts. A generous part of zakat goes to terrorism. If you call zakat charitable giving, then Hamas is a charitable organization. But, she implies that terrorism is a large part of being a Muslim.
The CIA did start Al-Qaeda. No one questions that. However, the CIA says they handed a list of 40,000 people to OBL when he was a college student and was spending his weekends fighting in Afghanistan. It would take several hundred people to work that list in all those languages. It would seem likely that the CIA not only started Al-Qaeda, but they still run it. It is the CIA’s connection to terrorism. This isn’t unique. For example the FBI has strong connections to ISIS as the incident in Garland, TX demonstrated. It is likely that the FBI and ISIS teamed up in the Las Vegas shooting.
somehistory says
Many, if not most, Americans refuse to accept those facts.
The U.S. was fighting a proxy war with Russia in afghanistan and obl made good use of the weapons from the U.S.
From current events, it’s possible for intelligent people to see that what the government does is not necessarily what the average American wishes.; that the government can be evil and corrupt, while the average citizen is not like that.

somehistory says,
“…the government does is not necessarily what the average American wishes.; that the government can be evil and corrupt, while the average citizen is not like that.”
Yes.
If you look at all of the elected officials in Congress, very few of them represent the values of the average US citizen.
somehistory says
Thank you, James. And not to mention the *unelected* officials who have a lot of *authority* to make decisions that affect us all.
James Lincoln says
Absolutely true, somehistory.
High level unelected bureaucrats.

When i seen that photo I thought it was of a fat guy that wants to be thought of as an old Lesbian.
How did such a person get a gig in Texas A&M?.
Inquiring minds want to know.

OLD GUY says
Islam through the Muslim Brotherhood and its sister organizations has infiltrated our universities to build fund raising and spread its teachings and propaganda to our children. These campus organizations are a terrorist front for Hamas and other pro muslim groups. They have also made inroads within our political system both at state levels and national.
Please be DAM careful of supporting any muslim group without checking out their ties to other organizations and terrorist. Same thing when it comes to elected officials, KNOW who you are voting for, on both parties.
