<p><span style="font-weight:400">Homeland Security </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/morning-brief-trumps-liberation-day-doge-pr-battle-self-deportation-push" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight:400">recently arrested</span></a><span style="font-weight:400"> a Tufts University student, Rumeysa Ozturk, for engaging in “</span><span style="font-weight:400">activities in support of Hamas, a foreign terrorist organization that relishes the killing of Americans.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">While the Trump administration’s arrest of Ozturk is a move in the right direction, she is just one of countless students across the country who share a radical ideology.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">Days after the first anniversary of the October 7 massacre which left 1,200 civilians dead, including 40 Americans, the New York Times </span><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/09/nyregion/columbia-pro-palestinian-group-hamas.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight:400">released</span></a><span style="font-weight:400"> a chilling headline: “</span><span style="font-weight:400">Pro-Palestinian Group at Columbia Now Backs ‘Armed Resistance’ by Hamas.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">The article claims a pro-Hamas student group at Columbia University marked the anniversary by distributing a </span><a href="https://newyorkwarcrimes.com/print-issue-vol-iii-no-13" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight:400">newspaper</span></a><span style="font-weight:400"> titled “One Year Since Al-Aqsa Flood, Revolution Until Victory.” The headline was placed over an image of Hamas fighters breaching Israel’s security fence. Additionally, the student group published an essay describing the attack as a “moral, military, and political victory” and citing Ismail Haniyeh, the former political leader of Hamas hiding in Qatar who would later be assassinated. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">In 2024, encampments held by these same student groups multiplied on campuses across the country, from New York University to Harvard, Yale, UCLA, and many others.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">How have American institutions come to the place where the mass slaughter of Westerners is celebrated on campus? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">A cursory glance at recent history reveals two driving factors: Mass Islamic migration to the West and mass funding from Islamic countries.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">First, some clarification and some definitions. </span><span style="font-weight:400">Radical Islam, or Islamism, is not the same as Islam. Rather, it is a radical offshoot that seeks, through political and often violent means, to establish a global caliphate where all citizens, Muslim or not, would be governed by a radical interpretation of Sharia law. While not all Muslims are Islamists, many who migrate are.</span></p>
<h3><strong>The Crusades</strong></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">To truly understand the mindset of Islamists today, it is important to look back at the history of the Islamic empire. </span><span style="font-weight:400">Since its rapid and bloody expansion in the 7th Century, the empire has clashed with the Western world a great many times in its pursuit for global dominance. The most famous example being the Crusades (1095-1300AD).</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">As Daily Wire commentator Michael Knowles </span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAPeToyagqA"><span style="font-weight:400">described</span></a><span style="font-weight:400"> on a recent Piers Morgan panel, “The Crusades started because the Eastern Emperor requested help from the Western Pope. The Seljuk Turks were slaughtering Christians in the Holy Land, which had been Christian territory before the Muslim invasion in the 7th century.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">While the Holy Land may have remained in Muslim control at the conclusion of the Crusades, a greater victory was secured by the West that continues to define our world to this day: Islamic expansion was stopped from conquering all of Europe.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">Fast forward nearly 1,300 years, and Islamists have yet to give up on the ambitions of their ancestors. Take Lebanon, for example. Once dominated by Maronite Christians, the mass migration and high birthrates of Muslim Arabs in Lebanese society over the 20th century eventually changed that. Today, Maronite Christians are a minority, and the nation is predominantly controlled by Hezbollah, a Shia Muslim terrorist organization.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">They have now taken a new, alternative strategy when it comes to Europe and the West: mass migration.</span></p>
<h3><b>Mass Migration</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">Over the past few decades, mass migration has overwhelmed many m</span><span style="font-weight:400">any European countries.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">In 2014, England’s Daily Mail </span><a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2755654/The-changing-face-Britain-A-child-Birmingham-likely-Muslim-Christian.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight:400">published</span></a><span style="font-weight:400"> a chilling headline; “The changing face of Britain: A child in Birmingham is now more likely to be a Muslim than Christian”. According to the 2011 census, the second largest city in England with a rich Christian history, had 97,099 Muslim Children growing up there, compared to 93,828 Christian children. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">Radical progressive and generous immigration policies, including England’s, are to blame for this trend. </span><span style="font-weight:400">During a recent Q&;A session, Parliament Member and leader of Reform UK Nigel Farage did not </span><a href="https://youtube.com/shorts/HidQi4mq71U?si=jVaqhsDBuZqMvqgY" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight:400">hold back</span></a><span style="font-weight:400"> when addressing the state of immigration in the UK:</span></p>
<blockquote>
<p><i><span style="font-weight:400">From after the war up until the millennium, net immigration ran at 30,000 to 40,000 a year. And yes, it worked. In fact, we had the most successful immigration policies of any country in the whole of Europe—no question. Now, it is totally out of control. Just think about this: two and a half million people have come in the last two years … The numbers are now literally unimaginable and are diminishing the quality of life for everyone in this country.</span></i></p>
</blockquote>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">Farage is correct. These policies have significantly worsened life for everyone living in England. A 2018 YouGov poll </span><a href="https://www.the-independent.com/news/uk/home-news/uk-no-go-zones-muslim-sharia-law-third-poll-hope-not-hate-far-right-economic-inequality-a8588226.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight:400">found</span></a><span style="font-weight:400"> that a third of England’s population believed there were areas in the UK they could not enter if they were not Muslim. Now, reports of predominantly Muslim grooming gangs allegedly </span><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/uk-new-inquiries-child-sexual-grooming-pressure-elon-musk-tweet/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight:400">terrorizing</span></a><span style="font-weight:400"> young girls across the country for over a decade have made headlines, while the government turned a blind eye. Meanwhile, Islamic terror attacks remain a grim reality, with the </span><a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4ngx3341ldo" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight:400">last</span></a><span style="font-weight:400"> major incident occurring as recently as 2023.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">England is not the only European country dealing with an immigration influx. </span><span style="font-weight:400">A recent </span><a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2024/08/19/muslim-migrants-around-the-world/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight:400">Pew Research study</span></a><span style="font-weight:400"> shows the top two European destinations for migrating Muslims are Germany and France. </span><span style="font-weight:400">In both </span><a href="https://miwi-institut.de/archives/2461?_sm_nck=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight:400">Germany</span></a><span style="font-weight:400"> and </span><a href="https://www.thelocal.fr/20171201/how-frances-muslim-population-will-grow-in-the-future" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight:400">France</span></a><span style="font-weight:400">, some estimates hold that by 2050 nearly one fifth of their respective populations will be Muslim if record high immigration patterns persist. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">North America is also grappling with mass Muslim migration. According to a </span><a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2011/01/27/the-future-of-the-global-muslim-population/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight:400">2011 study</span></a><span style="font-weight:400"> by Pew Research:</span></p>
<blockquote>
<p><em><span style="font-weight:400">The number of Muslims in Canada is expected to nearly triple in the next 20 years, from about 940,000 in 2010 to nearly 2.7 million in 2030. Muslims are expected to make up 6.6% of Canada’s total population in 2030, up from 2.8%.</span></em></p>
</blockquote>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">When an Islamist migrant was </span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuL5pgW9f7g" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight:400">asked</span></a><span style="font-weight:400"> by a Rebel Media reporter if he would like to see Sharia law implemented in Canada, he replied:</span></p>
<blockquote>
<p><em><span style="font-weight:400">At some point it will! You know because we are having families, we are making babies. You’re not. Your population is going down the slum, right? And by 2060 according to Pew Research institute, your research, by 2060, Muslims will be the biggest religious group.</span></em></p>
</blockquote>
<h3><b>Mass Funding</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">A key player in subverting their minds is funding. While some universities receive funding from the U.S. government, large dollar amounts are funneled in from foreign governments like Qatar, a major </span><a href="https://www.fdd.org/analysis/2023/12/19/10-things-to-know-about-hamas-and-qatar/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight:400">funder</span></a><span style="font-weight:400"> of Hamas.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">According to a 2022 study </span><a href="https://www.nas.org/reports/outsourced-to-qatar/full-report#_ftn1" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight:400">noted</span></a><span style="font-weight:400"> by the National Association of Scholars, from 2001-2022 Qatar donated $4.7 billion into universities across the United States. As a direct result of Qatar’s funding, according to </span><a href="https://www.thelawfareproject.org/campus-discrimination/2020/5/15/qatari-influencing-american-education-system" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight:400">research</span></a><span style="font-weight:400"> from the Lawfare Project, students across America are “learning about the Middle East in a biased way that emphasizes only the positive aspects of Islam while omitting a balanced discussion of other religions or belief systems, most notably Judaism.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">Imam Hasan al-Banna, the </span><a href="https://www.britannica.com/biography/Hassan-al-Banna" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight:400">founder</span></a><span style="font-weight:400"> of the Muslim brotherhood, an influential Islamist organization from Egypt, once shared his commitment to the next generation, “The youth are our hope and the backbone of our movement; train them in the principles of Islam, and they will carry the banner of reform into the future.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">If universities remain under the influence of foreign entities like Qatar, the next generation of college educated Westerners will not only fail to stop the spread of radical Islamists, they will inadvertently support their efforts.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">Whether it be through mass migration, funding, or ideological subversion, Islamism is a force the West cannot afford to ignore. World leaders would do well to follow the actions of the Trump administration who have been cracking down on the threat since day one. The West deserves to stay Western, and only through political action can current pushes for a global caliphate be subdued.</span></p>

How Radical Islam Gained A Foothold On Western Campuses
