Leaders of ISIS are now calling on followers to assassinate an American college professor in the groups propaganda magazine.
The professor is Yasir Qadhi, reports Memphis NBC affiliate WMC-TV.
Qadhi, born in Houston, Texas, is a professor of religious studies at Rhodes College, a private bastion of the liberal arts in Memphis. He is also a Muslim cleric and the resident scholar at the Memphis Islamic Center.
ISIS also called the Islamic State and its adherents dont like Qadhi because he stands athwart the radical Muslim entity, yelling stop.
Contrary to popular opinion, ISIS does not have support in the American Muslim community, he explained.
ISIS does not represent my faith, their actions are in contradiction to my faith, and Im appalled at what they are doing in the name of my faith, Qadhi told WMC.
Among the reasons that ISIS wants Qadhi dead is that he condemned the Charlie Hebdo shootings, which happened in Paris in January. Two radical Muslim immigrants massacred 11 people during the terrorist attack which was orchestrated by Al-Qaeda, not ISIS, according to The Atlantic.
In its demand that Qadhi (and another Muslim) be killed, ISIS propagandists published a photo of the professor.
They have said this is an act of worship, he told the NBC affiliate, that if somebody kills me, God is going to reward them.
Qadhi said he is not overly concerned about call for his murder.
I understand these people who are threatening me are thousands of miles away, he told the station.
The professor also noted that the FBI has contacted him expressing concern and suggesting that he undertake certain safety measures.
Qadhi indicated that he still plans to lecture around the world against ISIS and other radical Muslim groups.
On Thursday, Islamic radicals butchered Avijit Roy, an American engineer, activist and prolific anti-religion writer. The slaughter occurred on a public street in Dhaka, Bangladesh, reports CNN. The attackers hacked Roy repeatedly with machetes. They cut off one of his wifes fingers as well.
Roy had traveled to Bangladesh from his home in the suburbs of Atlanta for a speaking engagement.
Qadhi, the Rhodes College professor, attended the University of Houston as an undergraduate, according to a webpage at Rhodes College. He majored in chemical engineering there. Later, he enrolled at the University of Medina in Saudi Arabia to study classical Islamic sciences. He then returned to the United States and obtained a pair of Masters degrees from Yale University. He is currently working toward a Yale Ph.D.
and so it begins......
There are a few college professors I can think of we should send them.
and a helluva lot more of them had better start speaking out.
College professors learning too late that dhimmitude will not save them.
And quite a few Congressmen...maybe even some judges.
So, what does Obama have to say about this? (crickets)
One more reason we need to kill them.
As Matt /damon claimed in "Good Will Hunting", $40,0000 per year to get what is for free at the public library.
Since when did JV teams have an international travel budget? Maybe they are coming over here for jobs. Good luck with that.
As a professor, je suis Yasir.
Bring it on, ISIS, you may think we’re all lily-livered liberal lickspittles, but the true God knows who are His, and He will keep them safe unto that day—and until you repent and accept His Son, you ain’t it.
I believe that the majority of American mosques (did you ever think you'd hear those 2 words together) DO support ISIS actions.
” athwart the radical Muslim entity, yelling stop.”
If you’re going to rip off William F Buckley, at least give him credit.
So this professor was born in Texas ... were his parents on H1B visas, or are they native-born Americans?
Maybe the hippies in academia will side on the side of the US for once.
I applaud the professor for trying to change Islam. Death threats are always what follows. Because you cannot change Islam by penalty of death.
Well, evidently he is not a professor of history.

I don’t think ISIS understands that for some of us its not that much of a threat. :-)
This emphasizes my opinion that the ISIS group is basically, little more than teen-age thugs.
Everyone asks why they don’t have jobs.
Easy answer.
They’re all UNEMPLOYABLE!
They have to kill and ravage and loot just to get enough to eat. Seriously.
