Non-Muslims must “reject the feelings of cultural, racial, and religious superiority that drive false narratives of barbarous Muslims versus civilized Westerners or peaceful Christians,” pontificated Luther College Professor Todd Green. His April 8 Georgetown University presentation attempted to induce guilt in non-Muslims over real and alleged historical atrocities, while whitewashing modern Islamist and jihadist threats.

Green lectured about thirty listeners in the conference room of Georgetown’s Saudi-funded Prince Alwaleed bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding (ACMCU). With Georgetown Professor Tamara Sonn as moderator, he presented his recent book, Presumed Guilty: Why We Shouldn’t Ask Muslims to Condemn Terrorism, under the auspices of ACMCU’s anti-“Islamophobia” Bridge Initiative.

My Take - What makes these apologists most disgusting in their efforts to justify the crimes of Islam is they're supposed to be educated.  But in what?  It's clearly not history, because anyone whose read about the history about Islam and Islam's interaction between them and rest of the world has to know this is nothing more than propaganda in it's most disgusting and disingenuous form.  A common practice of leftists.  Rewrite or eliminate any history that's in violation of the false narrative they're painting for the public.  And since most of the public's knowledge of history, any history, is largely lacking,  they get away with it.
