Activists Call Zayed Centre Closing a Model for Fighting Hatred

BOSTON, Aug. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Three months after students at Harvard Divinity School called for the return of his $2.5 million gift, the president of the United Arab Emirates has shut down a controversial research center bearing his name that was a source of anti-American and anti-Semitic hate speech.

"We don't yet know all the facts about the closing of the Zayed Centre, but it seems we made a breakthrough," noted Rachel Fish, the Harvard student who spearheaded the campaign with appearances on CBS, NPR, and MSNBC.

"In only three months, we created an international storm of condemnation. Hatred is the world's most potent weapon of mass destruction." Fish said, "It shouldn't take a group of Divinity School students to point this out. American leaders and human rights groups should be on the forefront of this battle."

"It is true," Fish said, "that the Centre -- or some easily crafted substitute -- can be re-opened by the Arab League. But now they have to worry. Our victory sends a signal and is a model for action against hate. It should inspire students to stand up."

Nevertheless, according to the Gulf News the Arab League has vowed to defend the Zayed Centre. But the Centre's website is still down.
