Twisted Ivy: Harvard students say US bigger threat to world peace than ISIS
They got most of their SAT questions right, but students at Harvard blew this lay-up posed by the college blog Campus Reform: Who is the bigger threat to world peace, ISIS or the U.S.?
Various students at the hallowed Ivy League school said they believe that America, not the Muslim fanatics who behead innocent people, is the biggest threat to world peace.
The students were interviewed on the quad by Campus Reform on Saturday, and the shocking video was posted on Tuesday.
“As a Western civilization, we’re to blame for a lot of the problems that we’re facing now,” one student said during an interview. “I don't think anyone would argue that we didn't create the problem of ISIS, ourselves.”
Most of the other students interviewed shared the same sentiment — that ISIS would not exist had it not been for the past actions of the U.S.
“American imperialism and our protection of oil interests in the Middle East are destabilizing the region and allowing groups like ISIS to gain power,” said another student.
Caleb Bonham, editor of Campus Reform, conducted the interviews and said that the students’ response is nothing new.
“This video demonstrates the absurdity behind the bash America fad," Bonham told FoxNews.com. “Unfortunately, too many students think it is intellectual to try and piece together a reason why America is a greater threat than this terrorist organization trying to establish a caliphate through public executions, bombings and beheadings.”
The Islamic State is a splinter group of Al Qaeda that has occupied a large swath of Syria and the northern region of Iraq and has tried to establish a caliphate and rule all Muslims under Shariah Law.
