"I Was the Campus Anti-Semite," Says Muslim Zionist
(Jerusalem Post) Tamara Zieve - Kasim Hafeez, 32, a British Muslim of Pakistani origin now living in Canada, is the Outreach Coordinator for Christians United for Israel. Ten years ago at Nottingham Trent University in the UK, he says he was "the campus anti-Semite." "I was generally obnoxious, loud and threatening," he admits. "Anti-Israel activism has been a huge gateway for wider Muslim extremism," he says. He has seen firsthand how corrosive this has been on the Muslim community. "If I can do anything to stem that - if even one kid doesn't have to deal with the rubbish and hatred that I had to, then I see that as a win."
