The Harvard College students say they plan to block the entrance to University Hall in Harvard Yard to protest Harvard's refusal to shun investments in coal. The university doesn't own coal stock currently but the president won't say never.
Having just spent the last week on the rugged, spectacularly beautiful island of Crete 150 miles north of the coast of Libya, I have come away with a key observation about the crisis of Muslim refugees flooding the Western world.
There are only a few, if any, Muslim refugees seeking asylum in Crete. Situated in a key part of the Mediterranean not far from Palestine, Egypt, and several other Muslim nations, there is no evidence of a Muslim community here — nor of Crete interest groups clamoring to admit Muslim refugees to this rocky island. Perhaps this is because Crete has learned over the centuries what it is like to live under Muslim suzerainty.
