Hatem Bazian

A professor at the University of California, Berkeley, Bazian is the co-founder and assistant professor at Zaytuna College. This college is the only accredited school where the curriculum is based on Islamic fundamentals. Bazian has been known for antisemitic and pro-terrorist incidents, on and off campus. Dr. Bazian accused the student newspaper at San Francisco State University of being infiltrated by “Jewish spies” and he allegedly denied Jewish students jobs while serving as student body President. In 1999, Dr. Bazian is quoted as calling for the slaughter of Jewish people: “The day of judgement will not happen until the trees and stones will say, ‘Oh Muslim, there is a Jew hiding behind me, come and kill him.’” As President of the Islamic Association for Palestine, Dr. Bazian oversaw the publication of op-eds that included anti-Israel rhetoric and encouraged terrorism.
