We are Funding our Enemies' Propaganda

One of the dangers of foreign funds, even state tax funds, supporting education and chairs in the US, Britain and Australia, is that some of it is turned to anti-democratic, Jihadist ends.

The recent case below, where a US professor has finally confessed to financing Jihad, is a case in point, because it became a cause celebre in the US leftist MSM and with civil liberties groups,
who now have egg on their faces because of their false, biased campaigning for him. [Will they now apologise? Read the comments too.] It simply proves that cases like this are real, not 'persecution'.
It is too easy to claim that democracy can always defend itself simply by being libertarian, but that is never true in a war environment, which this case proves the West really is in.

In Australia and Britain the anti-war left [there is no Australian anti-war right] are intent on arguing that there is no 'real' war on terror, it's all a beat-up by the Right to impose their power
and take away liberty, like Hitler did.. I have seen evangelical Christians argue this view, as pacifists.
The other news link is to Britain, but we have similar public legal issues in Australia. If anti-democratic foreigners can buy our academics, imams and other operators, to spread pro-terror lies systematically among us and collect funds for terror, how can we defend ourselves?
The classic case is in the PA territories now, where there is now so-called democracy, but no balance at all exists in their poisonous media, where the Palestinians are force-fed with outside money and ideas for decades.
Yet the MSM stupidly overlooks this frighteningly obvious fact in assessing both sides.

The US, pleading civic virtue and freedom, used to turn a blind eye to the IRA collecting funds in places like New York for a long time - by fools and worse, enamoured of the old 'Republican, anti-British, independence' tags.
Now it has to learn to deal effectively with its own fifth column again, a religious one this time - in fact, we all do.

My hunch is that the Jihad will 'go quiet' on Europe as long as it seems to be getting political results [as in Italy now]. The demographics strongly favour a much stronger Islamic voice there in a decade or two, even if they do nothing much.
France is leading the way to appeasement again! They can even get results cheaply with scare campaigns like the cartoons!
The US is different because it has a much smaller Islamic population plus a really committed Christian and Jewish minority ...so far......
So too Australia.
