"In other words, how might Al-Qaeda or a non-Western historian describe what happened"
An international studies course at Iowa State University assigned students with writing a “historical account” from the perspective of Al-Qaeda during the 9/11 attack.
The assignment, obtained by The College Fix, specifically asks students to describe how “Al-Qaeda or a non-Western historian” would interpret the attack.
“Write a paper that gives a historical account of 911 from the perspective of the terrorist network,” the assignment says. “In other words, how might Al-Qaeda or a non-Western historian describe what happened.”
“Don’t worry about the fact you don’t agree with the terrorists, the point of the exercise is to consider completely different perspectives,” the assignment continues.
In a statement to The College Fix, Rob Schweers, Iowa State’s director of communications, stated the assignment was not intended to “support the goals” of terrorist groups.

So we should suspend critical thinking? Does that fact that I can see how a muslim could be radicalized after their family is killed in a drone strike make me a radical muslim?
ReplyDelete8:16 - Of course it doesn't. However, I hardly think this assignment is needed for critical thinking purposes. Don't be a dolt!!
ReplyDeleteThis is part of the "Obama Apology Tour" that he did.
ReplyDeleteMaybe a paper could be written from the perspective of women that have been stoned to death after being raped by multiple men. Or perhaps from those who have been beheaded for refusing to convert to Islam.
ReplyDeleteThis shows there are STILL Obama bastards in the WhiteHouse.
