Professor Mike Adams of the University of North Carolina is a rare breed in academia. The professor and prolific columnist actually believes it is an outrage for taxpayer-funded universities to be employing instructors who are actively encouraging war against the United States. The latest column from Adams introduces us to the writings of one Julio Pino, a professor at Kent State University.

Professor Pino has a blog called Global War (now offline in the wake of this scandal), in which he declares 2007 to be “the year of Islamic victory” and does so “in the name of OBL.” (That would be Osama bin Laden, for the acronymally-challenged.)

Professor Adams describes Professor Pino’s website:

[J]ust in case you were curious about the purpose of this site, it is provided in the upper right corner: “We are a jihadist news service, and provide battle dispatches, training manuals, and jihad videos to our brothers worldwide. All we want is to get Allah’s pleasure. We will write ‘Jihad’ across our foreheads, and the stars. The angels will carry our message throughout the world.”

There is also an “Oath of Freedom” in the upper right corner: “We were born free. We will live freely and when death comes to us, we will die freely. Jihad is changing all that can be changed; freeing ourselves through our own efforts; and the conviction that truth will prevail, inshallah.”

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.”

[...]

Although obsessed with the notion that America is being over-run by “Christian fascism,” he has affectionately referred to his students his “little Jihadists” and his “beloved Taliban.” In other words, he makes no bones about the fact that he works to indoctrinate, not educate, the children of the taxpayers of the State of Ohio.

No word yet on whether Professor Pino would at least spare the taxpayers of Ohio from his “global war.” After all, those taxpayers are lending Pino legitimacy by paying him to be called “Professor” and allowing him to present himself as a learned scholar. The least he could do is ask for those generous Ohioans to be killed last in the glorious Jihad.

Update: Professor Pino’s website has been taken offline, and he now states that “he wouldn’t acknowledge any connection” with the site. (Tellingly, he does not deny any connection with the site, either.) “The Web site is not the issue — freedom of speech is the issue,” he said.
