I wholeheartedly endorse CAIR’s petition for your institution to immediately revert any and all disciplinary action against Dr. Jonathan A.C. Brown in response to the manufactured controversy around recent statements he had made. Georgetown must not allow their disciplinary processes to be hijacked by ideological pressure campaigns or online outrage mobs.
Dr. Brown’s statement explicitly called for an end to the war and a minimization of causalities in the midst of the retaliatory strikes by a nation under attack by an outside aggressor. To claim this was in any way a call for violence against anyone requires a wilful and deliberate misreading of the facts. This will do far greater damage to the credibility of Georgetown as an academic institution than it will to Dr. Brown should this recent course of events remain uncorrected.
