according to pro-Likudist blogger Martin Kramer.

By Allah, how soon will the spectre of Sharia law start to haunt the entire Ivy League?  Mohammed and  the Moslems Menace Mornigside Heights!  Sounds like a NY Post header.

You see, it's like this ;  Columbia U recently established a Center for Palestinian Studies [remind me to stiff Toys for Tots this year and send a contribution to Columbia instead - only kidding]. Miffed, Kramer has written in his blog "Sandbox" [hey, what's the generall age and IQ of persons who customarily play in sandboxes?]   that prof Khalidi, and others associated with the Center for Palestine Studies, want to establish the Noble Sanctuary (in Arabic, the Haram-al-Sharif, for Jews the Temple Mount), as part of the Columbia campus.

Kramer has even cobbled together an interesting little fantasy map of the C.U. central campus showing the Noble Sanctuary in the spot Low Library occupies.

Really, we give Kramer points for agitprop and imagination, and as Israeli-inspired defamations, slanders and libels go, this one is pretty mild, kind of amusing and even funny to  degree.

My most loyal readers no doubt realize that I was not contributing  on a regular basis for tha last several months or so, and I never posted about an earlier Kramer effort this summer where he opines that the solution to the Pally problem is to lower their birthrate.  ["Remember, the last we heard from Kramer he wanted to cut off pro-natal subsidies to Gaza in an effort to curb its population of "superfluous young men."] [The quote is from the mondoweiss link below].

Now, i got a real bone to pick with that.  Back in the summer of 2008, in the spirit of Swift [Jonathan, not Taylor] I subbmitted a lengthy effort, even by my expansive and prolix standards, where I argued something quite similar..  It had the catchy title 'Go Ahead and Take One for Western Civilization" or some likewise catchy.  Now, I don't want to mention the palagarism word, but i gotta wonder about this.

Well, time to go, I've got to help betray western civilization and give the Caliphate at Columbia U all the help my cowardly Arab-appeasing, Jew-hating, jihadist-enabling self can render.

PS.  The link to Mondoweiss has the link to Kramer's blog.  In interests of full disclosure, i have briefly met Khalidi on several occassions.
