In a Previous Life, He Ran an Organization That Funneled Money to Hamas. Now He's a Journalism Professor at Northwestern.

Northwestern University describes journalism professor Ibrahim Abusharif as a "former book publisher" who "has been involved in projects to translate—from Arabic into English—the Quran." It does not give examples of those projects, perhaps because they include the Quranic Literacy Institute (QLI), an organization Abusharif cofounded that raised and laundered money for Hamas and was forced to pay damages to the family of a teenaged terror victim. Abusharif is a Chicago native who received his master's degree from Northwestern's Medill School of Journalism and worked as a senior lecturer at the university's Evanston campus in 2008. From there, he moved to Qatar, where he's served as an assistant and then associate professor of journalism at Northwestern's Doha campus for more than 17 years.
