Carnegie Foundation Seeks to Increase "Islam Experts" Reach in the Public Media -
Normally one might think that such a project would be a good thing for muslims as its purported intent is to demystify public perceptions of Islam and muslims around the world. The net effect however must be judged in the context of the 9/11 fraud. Within that context, this program (assuming it doesn't fund Evan Kohlmann's studies of Jihadi media use!) can at best provide the "liberal counterpoint" that right wingers malign as "coddling", "appeasement", etc. In the absence of funding for programs that reveal the truth about 9/11 to the world I can't see how this can be interpreted as anything but controlled opposition, and as yet more ostensible diversity (good cop bad cop) masking actual uniformity (muslims are potential terrorists as proved by 9/11.) The link at the bottom is to the site that lists the currently funded projects...

Trust No One, Not Even The Carnegie Foundation
Their language is absolutely “brochure perfect.†This SSRC grants program for the study of “the subject of Islam and Muslims in world contexts†[i.e. how to deal with “the global, 1+ billion ‘anti-NWO,’ anti-pornography, etc., Muslim Problemâ€] ... “aims to develop infrastructure [always with the infrastructure thing] and successful strategies permitting the dissemination of academic research on Islamic societies and regions...†[i.e. intel gathering for ongoing psyop control and pacification research, and propaganda operations]. All of this info is, of course, gathered for “targeted constituencies, ...media, and policy institutions,†and we can only just imagine who they all might be.
