CBN’s Erick Stakelbeck has a disturbing report on Kaukab Siddique, a college professor at Pennsylvania’s Lincoln University who has denied the Holocaust and called for Israel’s destruction.
Among his comments at a Labor Day weekend anti-Israel rally in Washington:
“We must stand united to defeat, to destroy, to dismantle Israel—if possible by peaceful means,” Kaukab Siddique said. “Perhaps, like Saladin, we will give them enough food and water to travel back to the lands from where they came to occupy other people.”
And:
“For the Jews, I would say see what could happen to you if the Muslims wake up,” Siddique warned. “And I say to the Muslims, dear brothers and sisters, unite and rise up against this hydra-headed monster which calls itself Zionism.”
In addition, “CBN News found e-mail exchanges posted online in which Siddique called the Holocaust ‘a hoax’ that was ‘invented,’ saying there is ‘not even one document’ to prove it happened.”
Lincoln University told Stackelbeck that Siddique has tenure and freedom of speech, and thus they cannot do anything about his statements in a private setting.
Watch the full report here.

One would think that tenure would cover him only if he was teaching.
David W| 10.19.10 @ 10:27AM
Maybe Mossad can issue a fatwa against this teacher. It would definitely be something he would understand.

Ya know, I have to agree with his one statement:
"And I say to the Muslims, dear brothers and sisters, unite and rise up against this hydra-headed monster which calls itself Zionism."
Because the last time they did that, Israel kicked their collective asses. It would be nice to see that again.

Based on his resume, he is approximately 68-70 years old, was born in Pakistan, and received degrees from schools there and in Canada. He teaches literature, English and has written articles on feminism in the Middle East. He has been at Lincoln for 18 years and is an associate professor. Apparently, he recently went mad.
ncatty| 10.19.10 @ 10:44AM
Well, strike the "recently" in my last statement. The CBN articles says he has been saying similar things for the last dozen years.

Mr. Klein,
So much ink, (electrons?) has been spilled in columns and articles warning about Sharia Law, I chose to go the future-fiction route to explore a very plausible sequence of events following the November elections.
If America gets her senses back and votes the bums out, the new Congress is going to get very tough on the Jihadists of every stripe.
The Jihadists could very well react as plausibly predicted in the book.
So far, the book has produced overwhelming positive reviews...and thanks.
Sir, it is right AFTER the elections that things could go sideways....in a big way.
It is pretty obvious that Israel is desperately trying to do nothing to skew our elections...and neither are the Jihadists...to our knowledge, (gulp).
I hope you will go to the book's website. I have placed a link to chapter one in the bottom left hand corner. www.texassaidno.com

the college can fire him if it wants. regardless of tenure or a union contract, you can always fire for cause. cause means you have to prove a just or proper reason, such as incopetence, dishonesty,fraud, insubordination, etc. in this case the college should argue conduct unbecoming a professor, regardless whether it is on or off the work premises. the professor is essentially calling for the murder of jews. this is cause to fire anyone.
Oldefarte| 10.19.10 @ 12:04PM
This MORON should not only be fired [and legally tried/incarcerated thereafter if possible], but this damned IMBICILIC university should be taxpayer de-funded and/or have its non-profit status revoked. It's the radically extreme atmosphere that this so-called university [along with most others, both private and public] that is now [and historically] able to indoctrinate/brainwash our nation's youth all at taxpayer expense!!!!!!!!

I no longer will give them that benefit of the doubt...cross me ...cross MY people 1 0 for 1
Vän| 10.20.10 @ 7:30AM
Quite a lot of cranks and crazies in these comments section.
I will say only this: You get respect by earning it. It doesn't have to be harder than this. And if the muslim elite, which is clearly much more radical than your rank-and-file muslim on the street, persists in their ways than sooner or later there will be a reaction.
And as we have seen in Germany recently, as well as Holland, that reaction will not be measured or very diplomatic. These people are undermining their own basis of being here.
zingara| 10.22.10 @ 1:12AM
how come the "mighty muslims" are not held to PC as we americans are?...they are allowed to say anything, incite rioting, cast aspersions at any group, but WE must not retaliate. juan williams was just dismissed from his job at PBS for speaking of his fears of islam.
ali| 10.22.10 @ 4:57PM
Except for his denial of Holocaust and call for the destruction of Israel, Professor Siddique did the right thing in asking Americans to stand up to the Israeli thugs. He should be applauded.
Israel is America's enemy #1. Iraq war was faught for Israel which killed 5,000 Americans and took over a trillion dollar of American money. Those wo are loyal to Israel, at the cost of America, are traitors of the first order. They should be kicked out of the U.S. Leave America for the Americans.
