A quote from Prof. Herman De Ley on a supposedly “academic” University of Ghent website, 14 February 2006

Prof De Ley used to be a prominent member of the Trotskyite RAL (Revolutionaire Arbeidersliga = Revolutionary League of Workers). Having spent many years discussing the difference between "true" and "actual" socialism, he is now using his chair at the University of Ghent to pontificate about "true" Islam. Resentment takes many shapes and forms.
