Another well-known American university capitulates to the ongoing Islamic infiltration of our universities. The purpose of a Muslim chaplaincy and a Center for Islamic Life is to convert as many non-Muslim students as possible to Islam, and to create sympathy to the Muslim agenda among America’s future leaders.

Rutgers hires two Muslim chaplains, pushes for Center for Islamic Life

(h/t: Muslim Alert)

Center for Islamic Life…aka a mosque / dawah center. Creeping on campuses all over the U.S. via Muslim chaplains continue CILRU growth – Daily Targum – News.

Members of the University’s Muslim community took a step forward in their efforts to develop the Center for Islamic Life at Rutgers University (CILRU) with the hiring of two Muslim chaplains on campus.

Since the start of this semester, Brother Faraz Khan and Imam Moutaz Charaf have been serving part-time as campus chaplains, giving guidance, advice and council to all University students.

They also hope to acquire a physical location for CILRU in coming years to serve as a central point for the Muslim community, Piracha said. A building would enable them to house chaplaincy activities and host programs.

“I think a physical presence helps, especially now when you see Islam on the news all the time,” he said. “You’re in college … You’re inquisitive, everyone’s inquisitive. We want to know, ‘Really, who are these people?’”

But like the chaplaincy, Catovic said the facility would not be exclusive to Muslim students — the entire University community would be welcome.

There’s already a strong, vocal Arab – Muslim presence on campus including the Muslim Brotherhood-founded MSA.

In this regard, the jihadis are following the much earlier example of the Communists, who pursued the strategy of cultural hegemony promulgated by Antonio Gramsci. This came to be known as the “long march through the institutions” or the “long march through the culture.”

Is university a good thing? I spent 3 years learning to be a Trotskyist

By Peter Hitchens

What are universities for anyway? I went to one and spent the whole time being a Trotsky­ist troublemaker at the taxpayers’ expense, completely neglecting my course. I have learned a thousand times more during my 30-year remedial course in the University of Fleet Street, still under way.

I am still ashamed of the way I lived off the taxes of millions of people who would have loved three years free from the demands of work, to think and to learn, but never had the chance.

We seem to accept without question that it is a good thing that the young should go through this dubious experience. Worse, employers seem to have fallen completely for the idea that a university degree is essential – when it is often a handicap.

For many people, college is a corrupting, demoralising experience. They imagine they are independent when they are in fact parasites, living off their parents or off others and these days often doomed to return home with a sense of grievance and no job. They also become used to being in debt – a state that previous generations rightly regarded with horror and fear.
[…]
If they have learned self-disciplined habits of work and life, they are under pressure to forget all about them, suddenly left alone in a world almost completely stripped of authority.

And if they are being taught an arts subject, they will find that their courses are crammed with anti-Christian, anti-Western, anti-traditional material. Proper literature is despised and ‘deconstructed’.

The horrible liberal Woodrow Wilson, who eventually became President of the United States, was originally an academic who once blurted out the truth as seen by many such people. He said in a rare moment of candour: ‘Our aim is to turn out young men as unlike their fathers as possible.’

Well, look at the modern world as governed by graduates who despise their fathers’ views, and what do you see?

Idealist wars that slaughter millions, the vast corruption of the welfare state, the war on the married family – and in this country the almost total disappearance of proper manufacturing industry.

Rather than putting an entire generation in debt, the time has come to close most of our universities and shrink the rest so they do what they are supposed to do – educating an elite in the best that has ever been written, thought and said, and undertaking real hard scientific research.

Or do these places exist only to hide the terrible youth unemployment that is a result of having a country run by graduates?
