It's conceivable that an Iranian might flee persecution only to be taught at a US university that he ought to embrace it

Conceivable? Anything is conceivable, but is this true?

I think not. I think it elides two truths, one more ineluctable than the other, to wit, the Islamist cause which is embraced by academics is Palestine, not Iran.

And, the Iranians have been here for generations and haven't been embraced yet. I remember when they came here to get away from the Shah. They're still here, they've got grandchildren now, and their neighbors came here to get away from the Ayatollahs, and none of them can go home yet, but they're hoping.
