Jonathan Brown is a Georgetown professor, a Muslim convert married into a terrorist family and a slick defender of the worst atrocities of Islam.
Front Page Magazine has covered him before when Brown defended sex slavery.
I don’t think it’s morally evil to own somebody.“
“A male owner of a female slave has the right to sexual access to her.”
“I don’t think it’s morally evil to own somebody,” Jonathan Brown explained to attendees at his lecture. “Slavery cannot just be treated as a moral evil in and of itself.”
To a man who argued that slavery was wrong, Brown retorted, “How can you say, if you’re Muslim, the Prophet of God had slaves. He had slaves. There’s no denying that. Was he—are you more morally mature than the Prophet of Allah? No you’re not.”
“A male owner of a female slave has the right to sexual access to her… her ‘consent’ would be meaningless since she is his slave,” Brown had also explained in the past.
“Slave women do not have agency over their sexual access, so their owner can have sex with them,” he appears to have written on Facebook.
Jonathan Brown continued defending and extolling these views even as actual academics were canceled for the most minor offenses against political correctness.
More recently, Brown argued that the Islamic repression of non-Muslims was fine because they could have just converted to Islam.
“So, in general, it’s correct to say that in Islamic civilization, both in theory and in practice, non-Muslims living under Muslim rule were called dhimmis and were lower in status than Muslims. But all they had to do to become part of this elite was say ‘There is no god but Allah and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.’”
After America’s air strikes on Iran’s nukes, Brown went viral for suggesting that “I hope Iran does some symbolic strike on a base”.
That’s not just coming from an academic. As Mark Dubowitz of FDD points out, “Brown is married to Laila Al-Arian, a journalist for the Muslim Brotherhood propaganda outlet Al Jazeera. Her father, Sami Al-Arian, was deported from the U.S. to Turkey. He was accused of providing material support to the US-designated and Iran-backed terrorist organization Palestinian Islamic Jihad.”
The real question is how long Georgetown, which educates our foreign policy elite, will keep on giving Brown a pass. And how much pressure will it take to get Georgetown to do the right thing.
