This paper tackles the centers for Middle East studies in the wake of 9/11. By then, some Middle East think tanks in the US launched an attack on scholars of the Middle East accusing them of being unpatriotic because they did not support the government’s ambitions in the region. The attack on Middle East scholars included Edward Said and his pioneering work Orientalism and its multiple critique. Moreover, attackers renewed their 1980s on the feminist scholarship on the Middle East. In the summer of 2003 Stanley Kurt urged the House of Representatives to increase control of Middle East centers. His proposal became part of House Resolution 3077 that would put Homeland Security agencies in charge of the production of knowledge about the Middle East. Author of this paper believes that human debate about the meaning, viability and application of human rights and democracy must continue so as to secure and guarantee freedom of speech, human rights, democracy and production of knowledge within and beyond the US University.
