Outraged critics are demanding CUNY’s billions of dollars in taxpayer funding be stripped away after a Muslim law graduate, Fatima Mousa Mohammed delivered a “hate-filled and dangerous’’ commencement address falsely accusing Israeli Jews of being ‘murderers’ and ripping NYC police officers cops as being ‘fascists.’
NY Post In her vitriolic May 12 graduation speech at the public City University of New York’s law school, newly minted grad Fatima Mousa Mohammed called for a “revolution” to take on the legal system’s “white supremacy’’ while blasting city cops and the US military and claiming Israel carries out “indiscriminate” murder.
During her speech, Mohammed accused the school of having “self-serving interests” and said it “continues to fail us,” continues to “train and cooperate with the fascist NYPD, the military, and continues “to train Israeli soldiers to carry out that violence globally.” She urged her classmates to continue the “revolution” to effect change, using their rage as “the fuel for the fight against capitalism, racism, imperialism and Zionism around the world.”
JTA Amid ongoing debate over a recent commencement speech at the City University of New York’s law school that included harsh criticism of Israel, Republican Rep. Mike Lawler has introduced legislation that would rescind federal funding from colleges that promote anti-Semitism.
Lawler, who represents New York’s 17th congressional district, introduced the “Stop Anti-Semitism on College Campuses” bill on Thursday. Lawler’s district includes Rockland County, which has a large population of Orthodox Jews.
The bill would “prohibit institutions of higher education that authorize Anti-Semitic events on campus from participating in the student loan and grant programs” under Title IV of the 1956 Higher Education Act. It has eight cosponsors, all Republicans.
The bill comes after a speech delivered on May 12 at the graduation ceremony of the CUNY School of Law in Queens, in which Fatima Mousa Mohammed praised the law school as a place where students could “speak out against Israeli settler colonialism.”
CUNY Chancellor Fèlix Matos Rodríguez and the school’s Board of Trustees condemned Mohammed’s speech, calling her remarks “hate speech.”
New York City Mayor Eric Adams also criticized the speech. “If I was on that stage when those comments were made, I would have stood up and denounced them immediately, because we cannot allow it to happen,” he said in his speech Wednesday night.
CUNY’s 2023 budget amounted to about $ 4.3 billion, according to the office of city Comptroller Brad Lander. Most of that funding comes from the state through its annual budget, although more than $600 million came from the city.

It’s about time, and can they deport or jail this racist hater?
BareNakedIslam says
CAIR is demanding an apology from CUNY for condemning her speech as “hate speech.” They say the school approved her speech before hand. However, the speech they approved was only 4 minutes long. The one she gave was over 13 minutes long.
David Grisez says
This person is filled with hatred for Jewish people and the nation of Israel. She also hates the United States. Since she is so full of hatred this Muslim woman should go back to the ruined country of Yemen that she came from, where she can enjoy the poverty of Yemen and two Islamic factions continually fighting for control of Yemen.

She didn’t speak out “against Israeli transgressions”, she’s spouting lies. Muslums are good at that.

Fat mouth needs a one way ticket back to Islamoland.

I blame George DUBBYA Bush for our ‘Muslim problem.’ His “revenge” consisted of a plot to steal Iraqi oil for his pal Dick Cheney, he created all the agencies we have come to despise that spy more on Americans than they do Muslims, he instituted moronic “Rules of Engagement” that entrapped American soldiers while actually protecting the enemy, and embraced the importation of hordes of Somali Muslims, the antithesis of everything we stand for, to this country..
Then he tried to send heros like Lt. Colonel Allen West to prison and disgrace them for daring to threaten the well-being of Muslims. Col. West was then elected to Congress in Florida. Bear in mind that this mangled truth comes from CNN; the true story is quite different: https://www.cnn.com/2003/US/12/12/sprj.nirq.west.ruling/
I retired from FDNY in 1990 and despite the passage of nearly 12 years lost more than a dozen friends in the ISLAMIC 9/11 ATTACK on our country. I will never stop detesting these seventh century backward radicals, and gutter slime like Fatima.
BareNakedIslam says
I agree with most of what you say, but what did Cheney have to do with oil?
Reader says
Halliburton.

You’re right. I forgot.
