Last month, U.S. prosecutors indicted eight current and former students at the University of Michigan for conspiring to threaten university leaders, law enforcement, businesses and the Jewish Federation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\">The indictment stated that one of the internet websites used by the defendants to spread their demands belonged to Palestine Action, the U.K. group that continues to attract passionate support from otherwise respectable, middle-class Brits, despite having been proscribed by the government as a terrorist outfit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Well-meaning, if ignorant, people continue to support such organizations on the naive assumption that they help the oppressed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\">The Islamist program to subvert the Western mind has relentlessly focused for years on universities and schools. The Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy has just published another vitally important report, \u201c<span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link\" style=\"color: #000080;\" href=\"https:\/\/isgap.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/QFI-US-Report.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cms-ai=\"0\">Institutional Capture<\/a><\/span>,\u201d which documents how anti-West, Islamist Qatar has reshaped American education in a devastating program of cultural infiltration.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Over the past 16 years, according to the report, Qatar Foundation International (QFI), the U.S. member of the Doha-based Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development, has conducted a systematic campaign to embed itself within American educational institutions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Deploying at least $65.3 million across 220 documented initiatives between 2009 and 2025, it has been a \u201cmanipulator of thought\u201d in social studies, science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics, as well as in youth engagement, professional development and social activism initiatives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Through corporate restructuring and strategic partnerships, it has leveraged the reputation of host organizations to embed the Qatari viewpoint on the Middle East in educational materials served up to students in both universities and K-12 schools.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\">At national conferences for social studies educators, it has stacked the proceedings with presenters trained by QFI to present Qatari talking points.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\">The result has been an educational echo chamber that \u201ccasts doubt on Israel\u2019s very existence, rejects curriculum that teaches students about the efforts to normalize relations between Israel and Arab states, and normalizes and relativizes terrorism.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\">This is the template for the Muslim Brotherhood\u2019s long-term strategy for civilizational jihad against Western society, turning educational institutions into a weapon of war by shaping, producing and normalizing ideological positions that fit the agenda of conquering the West for Islam.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\">It\u2019s scant wonder, therefore, that the West has fallen victim to a psychotic madness about Israel\u2019s fictitious perfidies\u2014a malevolent narrative of demonization that is in turn a Trojan horse for suicidal anti-Western loathing and contempt among the elites. Millions of people are being manipulated on a staggering scale.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\">America is beginning to grapple with this. In March, the House Committee on Education and the Workforce released nearly 900 pages of documents detailing two major American university partnerships in Qatar.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\">As the Jewish Institute for National Security of America observed in its own\u00a0<span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link\" style=\"color: #000080;\" href=\"https:\/\/jinsa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Qatar-Higher-Influence.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-cms-ai=\"0\">analysis<\/a><\/span>\u00a0of these documents last month, they showed that Qatar has \u201cused complex funding contracts with American universities to acquire access to intellectual property, governance deliberation, academic credentialing and institutional reputation, which it has used to help support Islamist movements hostile to the United States and its allies.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\">The release of those documents galvanized the introduction last month of legislation to ban federal funding to colleges that operate branch campuses in adversarial countries, or accept research funding for sensitive fields like artificial intelligence, biotech and quantum computing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\">That\u2019s a welcome development, but acute concerns still remain. This process of jihadi infiltration has been going on for decades. Successive British governments and U.S. administrations have refused to acknowledge the civilizational threat that it poses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\">In large measure, this is because the West can\u2019t understand Islamic religious fanaticism. It assumes that everyone in the world is, like itself, governed by self-interest. So it simply can\u2019t get its collective head around the fact that Islamists are apocalyptic and messianic, and believe they have a divine command to conquer Israel, America and the West for Islam.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\">U.S. President Donald Trump seems to make the same mistake. True, none of us can know what\u2019s in his mind. Maybe he really does understand the Islamists\u2019 mindset and is playing a long game to reel them in.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\">But maybe he believes that the Iranian regime and other Islamists are driven by the same self-interest as in his own world, and that therefore he can end all such conflict through his supposedly unmatched art of the deal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Such concerns are exacerbated by the extremely troubling financial links between members of Trump\u2019s circle and Qatar. Rather than treating it as the enemy of the civilization that it is, Trump has used Qatar as a trusted interlocutor in talks with Hamas, the Taliban and Iran. His apparently unshakeable belief in the universality of venal self-interest presumably explains his disbelief that the Iranian regime won\u2019t accept that its devastating military losses mean it\u2019s lost the war.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\">It explains his view that Gaza\u2019s Islamist lions would obviously be turned into lambs by the prospect of the Strip\u2019s transformation into a property developer\u2019s Riviera paradise.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\">And it may explain his support for Turkey\u2019s menacing Islamist president, Recep Tayyip Erdo\u011fan. According to Trump, Erdo\u011fan almost entered the war in support of Iran and against America, but the U.S. president talked him out of it. Now, Trump reportedly intends to reward him for this by selling him F-35 warplanes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Taking his words at their face value (which may always be a mistake), this suggests that narcissistic fantasies prevent this American president from understanding what being an Islamist means.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\">So as Trump continues to give us all political whiplash by his on-off-on Iran war, and as the West allows its mouth to be stuffed with Qatari gold, the Islamists fight on\u2014as they\u2019ve done ever since the seventh century\u2014playing the longest civilizational war game in the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><em><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/static.jns.org\/dims4\/default\/d4b56d6\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/480x480+0+0\/resize\/100x100!\/format\/webp\/quality\/90\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fk2-prod-jns-prod.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com%2Fbrightspot%2F50%2F68%2Fea78181e42e888f50b30e73a8b4f%2F5.png\" width=\"15%\" \/><\/span><strong>Melanie Phillips<\/strong>, a British journalist, broadcaster and author, writes a weekly column for JNS.
