A couple of weeks back, Project Veritas released an undercover video they shot at Cornell University in upstate New York, where one the Assistant Dean of Students agreed with the undercover operative that it would be acceptable to have a ISIS “freedom fighter” address the student body, as well as agreeing that sending care packages to the terrorist organization was also above board at the school.
Needless to say, Cornell University was not pleased by the video.Well, Project Veritas has done it again.
This time Veritas enlisted the help of Barry University honor student Laura Loomer, who managed to get a similar reaction from officials at that well-known Catholic school in south Florida

Loomer tried convincing a school officials to allow her to form a “humanitarian club” that would promote education in the Islamic State, as well as help raise funds to send care packages to those Islamic fighters in need of supplies, such as flashlights.
One school official even suggested to the Loomer that the potential pro-ISIS campus club should change the name to “Sympathetic students in the support of the Middle East,” instead referencing the Islamic terrorist group.
Another even agreed that the pro-ISIS club could in fact represent ISIS at the university’s annual “Festival of Nations” event, and pass out those black Islamic State flags.Wow.
Watch the video here.
Now because Veritas’ video has caused the university such grief and embarrassment, Loomer has apparently been suspended, and not allowed to attend classes or step foot on campus.
“Your alleged actions were the cause root of disruption of the University community and the creation of a hostile environment for members of the University staff.”-alleged Barry University suspension notice to Loomer
Barry University has taken issue, and made this statement regarding the video:
“It is reprehensible to think that any organization would acquire video and edit it in such way as to denigrate the reputation of Barry University or its staff,” University President Sister Linda Bevilacqua said.
But this is not the first time this Catholic university has made news regarding radical Islam. In 2014, the school held an interfaith memorial service to remember the victims of the 9/11 terror attacks, where Imam Nasir Ahmad, leader of the Liberty City Mosque Masjid Al Ansar in Miami-Dade County, repeatedly changed the ominous phrase “Allahu Akbar” during his 10-15 minute address.

“We have to be very careful with exporting democracy, and democracy should not be exported at the point of a gun.”-Imam Nasir Amad (Palm Beach Post 9/12/2012)
Loomer, who was also in attendance at that memorial service, said she was offended with the Imam’s use of that insensitive chant, adding that she was “insulted that on a day like 9/11 they would allow for a man of Muslim faith to open the service and chant Allah Akbar, the words that suicide bombers and terrorists chant before blowing themselves up.”
This is the Barry University “Mission Statement” that is posted on its website:
Barry University is a Catholic institution of higher education founded in 1940 by the Adrian Dominican Sisters. Grounded in the liberal arts tradition, Barry University is a scholarly community committed to the highest academic standards in undergraduate, graduate and professional education.
In the Catholic intellectual tradition, integration of study, reflection and action inform the intellectual life. Faithful to this tradition, a Barry education and university experience foster individual and communal transformation where learning leads to knowledge and truth, reflection leads to informed action, and a commitment to social justice leads to collaborative service.
Barry University provides opportunities for affirming our Catholic identity, Dominican heritage, and collegiate traditions. Catholic beliefs and values are enriched by ecumenical and interfaith dialog.Through worship and ritual, we celebrate our religious identity while remaining a University community where all are welcome.
We wait patiently for Barry University’s second encore in support of radical Islam.
