At a Glance
- American universities targeted by extremist factions for indoctrination.
- Iran accused of spreading radical ideology on U.S. campuses.
- Extremist operatives exploit immigration laws for infiltration.
- Calls for stricter guidelines on foreign student activities and funding.
Infiltration in American Academia
Dr. Salem Al-Ketbi has raised alarms on the strategic recruitment and indoctrination taking place in U.S. universities, facilitated by dangerously lax immigration laws. He argues that American academia is being exploited by foreign-affiliated factions, notably backed by Iran, with the intent to manipulate young minds and establish future networks of operatives. Arrests such as that of Mahmoud Khalil, accused of being a Hamas sympathizer, highlight the severity of this infiltration.
Dr. Al-Ketbi points out that campuses, once the breeding grounds for free thought, are now at risk of being subverted into platforms of political manipulation. Cases abound, such as the 2019 NSA investigation into Al-Qaeda sympathizers at the University of California and the controversial speaker praising Hamas at a 2023 UC Berkeley conference.
A Call to Action
Educational institutions must not fall prey to political or terrorist exploitation. Dr. Al-Ketbi’s analysis demands a recalibration, urging strict scrutiny of foreign funding and political activities on U.S. campuses. Foreign students are often used as pawns by countries like Iran to undermine American societal structures, pushing universities to enforce rules that protect their integrity and purpose.
“not just about student activism” but “sheds light on the way extremist organizations use America’s immigration laws to insert their people into American society.” – Dr. Salem Al-Ketbi.
Dr. Al-Ketbi argues, “American universities have become strategic targets for extremist organizations that exploit immigration laws to embed operatives, secure future U.S. citizenship, and cultivate a new generation of pro-terror activists — often under the radar, warns Emirati political analyst Dr. Salem Al-Ketbi, who links the trend to foreign-backed efforts, including by Iran, to ‘infiltrate young minds’ and spread their radical ideology on campus.” His cautionary words serve as a clarion call for vigilance and decisive action to uphold the sanctity of American education.
