Apologists for Jihad

Follow up on my post on the NY Times story, the Etiquette of Jihad. I wondered about that Georgetown professor who equates our uniformed and disciplined soldiers to terrorists who deliberately terrorize civilians and routinely hide behind women and children, in the typically morally obtuse way of the Left. Here's the quote:

Islamic militants are hardly alone in seeking to rationalize innocent deaths, says John O. Voll, a professor of Islamic history at Georgetown University. “Whether you are talking about leftist radicals here in the 1960s, or the apologies for civilian collateral damage in Iraq that you get from the Pentagon, the argument is that if the action is just, the collateral damage is justifiable,” he says.

LGF has the background:

Voll, by the way, is an associate of Islamic apologist John Esposito, and is also the associate director of the Prince Alwaleed bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding at Georgetown University. That’s the Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal who gave $50 million to the Council on American Islamic Relations, and who offered Rudy Giuliani $10 million to issue a press release tying the 9/11 attacks to US support for Israel.

That’s who the Times calls when they need an opinion on Islamic terrorists killing innocent people.

Rudy famously turned it down. CAIR, by the way, has been cited as an unindicted co-conspirator in a trial of Hamas front groups here. The NY Times still consorts with these anti-Semites. Apologists for Jihad.
