Height of Islamophobia: JNU to introduce a course on ‘Islamic Terrorism’

• Sunday | 20th May, 2018

Many members reportedly opposed the topic ‘Islamic Terrorism’ so as to not club any religion with terrorism, and suggested to call the phenomenon ‘religious terrorism’. New Delhi: The Academic Council of the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) “passed” a proposal to set up a Centre for National Security Studies under which there would be a course on “Islamic Terrorism”. JNU students are very much concerned due to a deeply problematic and shocking move. New Indian Express quoted the JNU Students Union president Geeta Kumari, as saying “This grotesque propaganda of Islamophobia in the name of academic courses is deeply problematic. It seems the RSS-BJP’s election propaganda material will be prepared through these courses rather than studying the nature of terrorism in general.”Islamic terrorism is nothing but Islamophobia.
