Global jihad: Coming to a campus near you

The Muslim Brotherhood's "global project" has found a home at the Irvine campus of the University of California.

From FrontPage magazine:

This Wednesday, four separate UCI programs – including the department of history; the Center for Research on International and Global Studies at UCI’s School of Social Sciences; the school’s Middle East Studies Student Initiative and its Center for Global Peace and Conflict Studies – will host Ibrahim el-Houdaiby, a young member of the Muslim Brotherhood and the leader of its new generation of self-styled “moderate Islamist” activists. Still in his twenties, the Cairo-based Houdaiby has a long lineage in the Brotherhood: His grandfather was Hassan el-Houdaiby, a prominent Brotherhood ideologist. Houdaiby has carried on the family tradition, writing a column for the Brotherhood’s official English-language website, IkhwaWeb.com, and generally trying to arouse foreign sympathy for a movement still regarded as dangerous in the West.

As the video above describes, the Muslim Brotherhood, the granddaddy of all Islamist terror groups, has been working on a long-term effort to spread Sharia law across the planet.

Looks like they've found a receptive audience at UCI.

UPDATE: Here's another thoughtful member of the "new generation of secular and religious cyber-activists" contributing to the interfaith dialogue at Irvine back in 2002.
