UW-Madison Course Compares Bush and Hitler

WKOW TV reports:

A textbook required of students in UW-Madison instructor Kevin Barrett's introductory class on Islam features Barrett's 9/11 conspiracy theory, comparisons of President Bush to Adolf Hitler, and harsh criticism of Israel.

A proof of the book, "9/11 and American Empire: Muslims, Jews, and Christians Speak Out," was obtained by 27 News.

The 325 page textbook draws on essays from fifteen authors, including Barrett. Barrett's contribution is entitled, "Interpreting the Unspeakable: The Myth of 9/11."

Barrett's writing makes a case for the mainstream account of what happened on 9/11 to be consistent with other myths throughout history.

On the events of 9/11:

* "The major television networks, largely owned by defense contractors that would be lapping up 9/11's trillion dollar windfall, made absolutely sure we couldn't forget it, by running the same footage over...and over...and over."

* "The obviously false 'let's roll' heroic mini-myth of Flight 93."

Kevin Barrett thinks taxpayer's everywhere should subsidize him.
