The U.S. Department of State has awarded a half-million-dollar grant to University of Delaware political scientist Muqtedar Khan, who last fall objected to serving on a panel with a veteran of the Israeli Defense Forces. A UD press release says the purpose of the grant is "to initiate a dialogue on religion and politics between key members of religious and community organizations in the Middle East and the United States."

Winfield Myers views this grant as "part of a larger pattern of coddling Islamists within the bureaucracies of the State Department and Pentagon." Troubling, very troubling.
