Former Suffolk U. Professor* Claims U.S. Plans to Sterilize "Women of the Entire World"

Former Suffolk U. Professor* Claims U.S. Plans to Sterilize “Women of the Entire World”

Munir Akash

Today at American Thinker I examine an anti-Semitic conspiracy monger formerly at Suffolk University:

Munir Akash,* a Syrian-born former visiting professor in the department of world languages and cultural studies atSuffolk University in Boston, claimed in a recent Arabic-language interviewwith Lebanon’s ANB TV that the U.S. government has a secret plan to sterilize women in thirteen Third World countries and even in “the entire world.” This marks yet another bizarre assertion made by Akash, who is successfully bringing the Middle East’s stultifying culture of conspiracytheoriesto America.

*Update: The original version of this article identified Munir Akash as a visiting professor at Suffolk University because, at the time of publication, his web page at Suffolk was active; a cache of it is available here. Greg Gatlin, vice president of marketing and communications at Suffolk, has stated that Akash taught at Suffolk from 2007 until December, 2011, that the university left his web page up in error, and that it was removed after this article appeared. Gatlin adds that Akash does not have permission to claim any affiliation with Suffolk. During his October 23, 2013 interview on Lebanon’s ANB TV, conducted in Arabic, the script below his image stated that he was “Historian D. Munir Akash - Professor of Humanities and head of the Arabic Studies at Suffolk University/Boston.” The host presented him as such and stated that, “his research focused on the history of the first settlers who invaded the new world and annihilated 400 nations, using all methods of violence and killing.” Translation courtesy of MEMRI.
