Setting the Record Straight: CW Director Winfield Myers Rebuts Georgetown’s Bridge Initiative

The Bridge Initiative (BI), a project of the Saudi-funded Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding at Georgetown University, has produced a “Factsheet” that takes aim at the Middle East Forum and Campus Watch. CW director Winfield Myers rejects BI’s misinformation campaign, highlighting its role “as a smear machine designed to silence criticism of Islamism, whitewash the actions of individual Islamists, and spread the Islamist agenda.”

Cinnamon Stillwell analyzes Middle East studies academia in West Coast colleges and universities for Campus Watch. A San Francisco Bay Area native and graduate of San Francisco State University, she is a columnist, blogger, and social media analyst. Ms. Stillwell, a former contributing political columnist for the San Francisco Chronicle, has written on a wide variety of topics, including the political atmosphere in American higher education, and has appeared as a guest on television and talk radio.
