UNC 9/11 LIT CLASS STUDENTS READ POEMS BY ISIS TERRORIST NOT 9/11 SURVIVORS

In 2006, a Muslim named Mohammed hit 9 people with an SUV at UNC Chapel Hill to follow in the footsteps of another Mo, Mohammed Atta and "avenge Muslims". Despite repeated statements from Mohammed, the university refused to describe the attack as terrorism leading to protests from students.

However UNC Chapel Hill played a key role in the shameless attempt to policitize the murder of three Muslims in a parking dispute as "terrorism" despite zero evidence for such a claim.

Now UNC Chapel Hill has hit a new low with a 9/11 literature class in which students will read the poems of Al Qaeda terrorists rather than 9/11 survivors and the children of 9/11 victims.

An English class offered at UNC Chapel Hill this fall called “Literature of 9/11” explores the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks from the perspective of radical Islamists and those who view America as an imperialist nation.

The readings mostly focus on justifying the actions of terrorists – painting them as fighting against an American regime, or mistaken idealists, or good people just trying to do what they deem right. None of the readings assigned in the freshman seminar present the Sept. 11 attacks from the perspective of those who died or from American families who lost loved ones.

The texts include Poems from Guantanamo featuring a poem from Jumah al Dossari, an Al Qaeda member who allegedly recruited the Lackawanna Six.

In November 2001, al-Qaeda operative Juma al-Dosari is captured in Afghanistan. He is soon transferred to the Guantanamo prison. During interrogation in the spring of 2002, he reveals several aliases and that he was trying to recruit a group of US citizens in New York state known as the “Lackawanna Six.” Based on the aliases, US intelligence realizes they have already intercepted communications between him and Osama bin Laden’s son Saad bin Laden, and also him and al-Qaeda leader Khallad bin Attash. They learn he has a long history with al-Qaeda, having fought in Afghanistan, Bosnia, and Chechnya. He was arrested in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia on different occasions for involvement in the 1996 Khobar Towers bombings (see June 25, 1996). He first went to the US in 1999, staying several months in Indiana. Then he got a job at a mosque in Bloomington, Indiana, in the autumn of 2000. He began traveling around the US as a visiting imam, but investigators believe this was just his cover while he worked to recruit for al-Qaeda. In April 2001, he visited Buffalo, New York, and helped convince the “Lackawanna Six” to go to Afghanistan (see April-August 2001). He left the US for Afghanistan in late September 2001.

And of course there was Shaikh Abdurraheem Muslim Dost, the Guardian described him as "a Pakistani poet and prolific author". Today this "poet" is part of ISIS. I bet he's got some wicked beheading poems though.

Abdul Rahim Muslim Dost, who was detained at Guantanamo for three years, has sworn allegiance to Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al Baghdadi. Dost’s oath of allegiance was issued on July 1, just two days after Baghdadi named himself “Caliph Ibrahim I” and declared that his Islamic State was now a “caliphate.”

Pakistani officials have accused Dost of recruiting jihadists for Baghdadi’s organization. He is thought to be behind a graffiti campaign that aims to spread pro-Islamic State messages throughout northern Pakistan.

According to Dawn, a Pakistani newspaper, Dost has even been named the head of the Islamic State’s presence in the “Khorasan,” an area that covers much of Central and South Asia, including Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iran.

Dost claims that during his time in US custody, he had a vision predicting the establishment of Baghdadi’s caliphate.

“While in Guantanamo in [2002],” Dost claims, “I saw a vision of a palace with a huge closed door, above which was a clock pointing to the time of 10 minutes before 12.” Dost says he “was told that was the home of the caliphate” and so he “assumed then that the caliphate would be established after 12 years.”

Maybe they can put that one in the sequel. But obviously students being indoctrinated at UNC will never be told that their suffering prisoners of American imperialism are raping little girls and beheading other Muslims.

Nor will they read poems from 9/11 survivors and their children. Because #OnlyTerroristLivesMatter
