Jihad Professor at Kent State

Here's the original blog post on the professor at Kent State who blogs for jihad, by Mike Adams, Townhall. Note one of the choice offerings on the "Global War" site:

Under the entry "Sister Detonates Herself to Eliminate Shia Traitors" there is a description of a female suicide bomber who recently killed 41 people. Just in case you wondered how the host of the site feels about the suicide bomber, the next line tells you: "Now she lies on the Golden Couch of Paradise."

I initially blogged about it last week, but then there were initial denials from Kent State, as the professor's picture was not the one displayed on the site (oh, it was of a dead 9/11 suicide bomber displayed as a hero), so I took down my post. Now Kent State, a public institution, defends him as a matter of academic freedom. Akron Beacon Journal:

Pino, 46, a Muslim convert and associate professor of history at KSU, did not return phone calls seeking comment.

His department head, John Jameson, defended him as a good teacher and said the allegations in the story appeared to have been blown out of proportion.

He said Pino told him he provided news stories to the Web site but didn't accept any ownership of it.

The Web site does not name the originator, but a photo of a bearded man there is not of Pino, the description of the originator does not fit Pino and none of the postings on it can be tied to Kent State, Jameson said.

The site is a virtual training manual for terror and that is its explicit intention. (60 minutes just did a segment on Al Qaeda's use of the internet. Here.)

More follow-up in video from the Big Story via LGF. Kent State professor Julio Pino, a Muslim convert, admits he writes for the Jihad training website, featuring an "Ode to Anthrax" and celebrating suicide bombers going to heaven after killing innocents:

The most controversial incident may have been in 2002, when he wrote a column in the Kent Stater that eulogized an 18-year-old Palestinian suicide bomber. He said he was trying to explain why suicide bombings occurred in Israel.

KSU English professor Lewis Fried took offense and urged then-KSU President Carol Cartwright to fire Pino. She refused, saying the university supported free speech.

``A university stands for the sustaining of life and not of murder,'' Fried said Wednesday. ``I'm not opposing free speech, just murderous free speech.''

Kent State has had no more response. Obviously Pino's postings on the jihad training website are not "news stories" to any reasonable observer. Guess Kent State takes their cue from the MSM, but even 60 Minutes has taken note of this kind of hostile activity. Latest from Mike Adams here.

Should Ohio taxpayers finance a professor who explicitly advocates the murder of innocents and lauds suicide bombers who attack our country?

Kent State's silence is not acceptable.
