via The US Naval Academy And the US Muslim Brotherhood Part 2: The Case Of Akbar Ahmed
The Global Muslim Brotherhood Daily Watch has identified a second professor at the US Naval Academy who is close to the International Institute of Islamic Thought (IIIT), a part of the US Muslim Brotherhood and where Global Brotherhood leader Youssef Qaradawi reportedly serves as a trustee. The GMBDW reported
yesterday that Ermin Sinanovic, who is teaching a course at the academy
on “Muslim World Affairs”, would also be teaching at two different
venues for IIIT. Dr. Sinanovic was not alone however. In September 2008, US media reported that
Dr. Akbar Ahmed would be joining the U.S. Naval Academy to fill a new
chair for Middle East Studies and would be teaching courses, advising
midshipmen and faculty, and assisting in research projects. According to
his CV, Dr. Ahmed served as First Distinguished Chair for Middle East/Islamic Studies at the US Naval Academy from 2008-2009.
Dr. Akar Ahmed is a former Pakistan
High Commissioner (Ambassador) to the UK and Ireland and currently the
Ibn Khaldun Chair of Islamic Studies at American University in
Washington DC. He is frequently described as a prominent Islamic
moderate who has received numerous awards and accolades. However, Dr.
Ahmed also has a long association with the International Institute of Islamic Thought
(IIIT), established in 1980 by some of the most important figures in
the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood. Dr. Ahmed’s association with IIIT appears
to have begun with a relationship to Ismail Faruqi who Dr. Ahmed said appointed him to both IIIT and the Islamic Institute of Advanced Studies, previously known as the Graduate School of Islamic & Social Sciences (GSISS),
an organization once sanctioned to certify Muslim chaplains for the
U.S. military and also associated with the US Muslim Brotherhood. Dr.
Ahmed writes:
Later from his base in Temple University, where he headed the Islamic Studies Department, [Dr. Faruqi] embarked on the serious and gigantic task of re-thinking the fundamental concepts of modern social sciences within an Islamic framework. He called it ’the ‘Islamization of Knowledge’. This was his vision and it became his passion. Towards this end he helped set up the International Institute of Islamic Thought, and, recently, the Islamic Institute of Advanced Studies, both in the USA. (My name was placed on the faculty of the two Institutes thanks to him.)

Readers may recall Ahmed from this post Virginia Military Institute to commemorate Muslim invasion of Spain. and the ‘Islamization of Knowledge’ post from March 2013, Goals and Strategy for Islamization of Knowledge and Higher Education in U.S.A. and the World.
As yourselves how these individuals
who promote Islamization have infiltrated our most prized military
institutions. It’s no accident.
