Originally a comment by Papito on An academic project.
It could never be enough to “intellectually dispel” ideas like evolution or laws of physics. Intellect is not the route through which one may dispel such ideas. Inevitably, violence is the route through which these ideas will be dispelled.
The first step towards this inevitable violence is the installation at the university of an individual who wants to guide the university away from intellect and towards submission. The second step is for that individual to tell students that when the university tries to encourage them towards intellect and away from submission that this is harm done to them. The third step is to compare the harm done by, say, stabbing a professor who teaches evolution with the supposed harm done to students whose minds may be lead away from submission by hearing about evolution. After that, it’s just a matter of time and probability.
Ahmed’s purpose in being there is to destroy the university, and her colleagues think that’s really cool. She wants to get one of her colleagues killed, and she will succeed. That murder will be hailed as liberatory by the people who celebrated October 7.
Ahmed wasn’t just making coffee at the terrorist group, she wrote the part of their doctrine about education. Ahmed: “the Muslim community as a whole in Britain needs to recognise that western education is a threat to our beliefs and values”. The university is so dedicated to free expression that they accept the expression of the idea that there should be no freedom of expression, and no university.
