An Ohio professor with a long history of expressing anti-Israel views is being investigated by the FBI for possible ties to the terrorist group ISIS.

The FBI confirmed to The New York Times and other outlets that it was investigating Julio Pino, an associate professor of history at Kent State University in Ohio who's known for defending his right to free speech as he speaks out against Israel.

KentWired.com, a student-run publication, broke the story this week that a joint terrorism task force has been investigating Pino, who is a Muslim convert, for a year and a half.

FBI agents have been questioning students on campus, some of whom he's suspected of trying to recruit to join ISIS (also known as the Islamic State, ISIL, or Daesh), according to the website. Pino has tenure and was still teaching on campus after news of the FBI investigation broke.

An unnamed FBI agent who spoke to KentWired.com said there is "no direct threat to the university."

Well if your professor’s name was Aqmed Mohammed al-Shira, you might have a problem also.

Jim Quinn used to regularly report on Pino’s anti-American, pro_Muslim rants. Pino considered those who flew the planes into the Towers and the Pentagon the “heroes” of 9/11.

No, but we taxpayers have lost all control over how our money is spent, especially in government schools. The only thing that will save US education is to get government out of it at all levels. Then parents can choose where to send their children and where to spend their money.

I didn't even need to read the article to know who it was. I thank Mr. Quinn for covering what no one else would.
