CAIR Almost Canceled My College Class with Nicholas Damask
from Middle East Forum Podcast · host Middle East Forum
In June 2020, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) sued political science professor Nicholas Damask and his Arizona college, claiming that his course on world politics links Islam to terrorism, and thus "disapproved" of the Muslim faith. CAIR sought permanently to prohibit the course but a federal district court dismissed its lawsuit and then the Ninth Circuit upheld that dismissal. Dr. Damask reflects on his experience, on the use of the courts to prevent discussion of Islam, and on lessons from this episode.
