Some background info on Abou Jahjah:
February 8, 2006: Coming to America: Dyab Abou Jahjah to speak at PSM Conference at Georgetown
The man, photo shown above, whose website posted a cartoon showing Adolf Hitler in bed with Anne Frank is one of the speakers at the upcoming Palestinian Solidarity Movement conference at Georgetown University.
According to an email received from one of the organizers, Dyab Abou Jahjah will be one of the speakers at the conference, scheduled for February 17-19 at Georgetown University.
Abou Jahjah, who, in an interview with Flemish newspaper Het Laatste Nieuws, said "I consider every death of an American, British or Dutch soldier as a victory," is also a strong advocate of the implementation of Islamic Shari’a law in Europe.
Even the state-run news agency IRNA seems to approve of Abou Jahjah’s statements. In October 2005, they quoted his comments in defense of Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinezhad statements calling for Israel to be wiped off the map:
The president of the Arab-European League (AEL), Dyab Abou Jahjah, says the statement made by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Israel is "intellectually defendable."
"The commentaries of the Iranian president that the Zionist entity (Israel) will be wiped out of the map may not be the smartest move in a strategic moment when Iran is trying to resist efforts by the US to isolate it. Nevertheless, the foundation of Mr. Ahmadinejad's reasoning is intellectually defendable, and despite the fact that his regime is no perfect example of political morality, I argue that his position on this matter is the only possible moral one," wrote Abou Jahjah in an article published on the AEL's website.
Why is Georgetown University allowing a man, who called the 9-11 attacks “sweet revenge”, and considers the destruction of the State of Israel as the “only moral option”, being allowed to speak at this conference?
Why is he even being allowed to enter this country?

Abou Jah Jah's Arab European League Continues to Bottom Feed
They didn't like the Danish cartoons, so instead of protesting peacefully, some elements in the Muslim world have chosen to burn embassies and consulates in violent protests, showing us what good peace loving citizens they are.
This group, the Arab European League had taken a different route, but in doing so the cartoon jihad continues to hit new lows, with this morning’s cartoon from the Arab European League. The AEL, a group of Muslims located in Belgium with offices also in The Netherlands, has decided to hit back with cartoons of their own.
Please note that we are not displaying the cartoons on this page, because they will be offensive to most. However, we are including links to a page containing the cartoons.
This morning's cartoon features two frames. The first shows a big, burly African man standing next to a doctor, who tells him to “go easy on her”. The second frame shows an emaciated African woman lying across a medical examination table. The doctor tells her “We think we’ve found the remedy so you’d be able to feel again.”
As a side note, the reaction to this cartoon has been interesting. Based upon the comments posted about the cartoon on various message boards, it appears that those in the West are interpreting the cartoon to mean that the woman is about to be raped.
But comments from the Arabic language message boards are finding a different message in the cartoon. One comment pretty much sums up the comments made by the posters, most apparently men, on the jihadi board: “The doctors know that a real man can cure it and they are sending a real man, a mohahid in, to show her”.
This cartoon shows two businessmen arguing next to a pile of bones labeled “Auswitch”. One man says “We have to get the Goooo somehow!” The second man looks at the pile of bones and says “I don’t think they are Jews.”
Over the past few days the group has posted a series of cartoons that by almost any standards would be considered offensive. So far we’ve seen the following cartoons:
This cartoon featured an emaciated Anne Frank in bed with Adolph Hitler. Hitler tells Frank to “Write this one in your Diary”.
This cartoon appears to be poking fun at Gay marriage. It shows what appears to be a wedding between a woman and a donkey. The man performing the ceremony says “I declare you um? Huban… Animal and wife.”
This cartoon showing Steven Spielberg on the phone asking for help on his new project titled “Holocaust”. The response: “I don’t think I have that much of imagination Stevem sorry.”
The cartoons are being served on from a webserver based in California, on IP address 67.15.14.50 which is assigned to Everyone’s Internet, a webhost that has previously been associated with terrorist websites.

Georgetown, do you really want to host this clown or instead act like "an American University in the spirit of the Roman Catholic moral tradition"?

Dyab Abou Jahjah’s Arab European League calls for sharia law, celebrates 9/11 and warned Belgian Jews to break with Israel or else. Is he defending Muslims’ civil rights — or inciting hatred?
