Leaders of ISIS are now calling on followers to assassinate an American college professor in the group’s 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 don’t 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 I’m 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 wife’s 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 Master’s degrees from Yale University. He is currently working toward a Yale Ph.D.

I wonder if this is so much Kabuki and they will actually leave him alone as so much good taqqiya.
I wondered what happened to the spiritual environment in Nashville. I was there and it was sometimes like the devil dancing.
“This emphasizes my opinion that the ISIS group is basically, little more than teen-age thugs.”
Spot on, djf. When we did contract work for Israeli companies during the Libyan civil war, we saw reports from Tripoli that the Libyans were furious at the muslim punks disrupting Libyan businesses. The Libyans wanted these worthless, thieving 16-year-old apes hanged from lampposts.
We have plenty of freelance terrorists, (oops, I mean unemployed) no need for them to travel far.
Absolutely. Classic case of taqiyya! This jackass imam on the faculty of Rhodes College was the underpants bomber’s teacher! He is notorious for having been caught on tape preaching that Moslems have the right tot take the lives and property of Christians and Jews.
Qahid also studied under Al-Timini who is serving life in prison for encouraging violent jihad against Americans.
I kind of doubt this magazine of theirs is even an official organ. The real stuff goes on behind the scenes, as much as it would with an entity like the Hells Angels.
The Taliban is inside the building. We've been caught napping and outflanked.
I can’t disagree, and it wouldn’t surprise me if this pos Rhodes College professor/imam has a direct line to the publisher.
It’s only a matter of manner, I suspect.
Now not everyone physically born of a Muslim family has to be Muslim. But they might be in denial.
Kind of like “Yeah! Show a fatwa against me there, that way they won’t suspect how close I am to you. But be sure to state in the actual communiques that it is fake.”
“Yes yes sir. Inshallah.”
A year ago I was visiting my Mom in Vanderbilt hospital (doing fine now). Driving around that part of Nashville surrounding the Vanderbilt campus, I did not feel like I was even in Tennessee. Very urban & northern, especially at night.
“We are so screwed”
That’s from Laz, and I completely agree with him.
However, our Laz is well prepared for whats a comin.
God Bless Laz!
“I am soooo screwed!”
I told my hubby I would kill him if he a left me when TSHTF!
And the bastard did just that. I thought I could scare him into defeating death. But Lo’ the Lord has His own plans for me and my life and I can honestly say, I don’t like it much. However, my Lord tells me that His Grace Is Sufficient! In my complete weakness,He will be my strength. I’m ascared but that don’t matter much as He lifts me up and carries me in His strong arms.
O” Lord, I lift up my arms to You as a child. Lost and forsaken. Abandoned to the whims of those who would willfully harm your “little ones.” a child in fear of those he or she knows who only seek to harm them.
I hide for fear of being found by the enemy. Yet I know You O’ Lord, You will search me out and rescue me.
For the BEAUTIFUL COPTIC CHRISTIAN CHILDREN,WHO REFUSED TO DENY THEIR FAITH IN THEIR LORD AND GOD.
How is it I ask? That an Orthodox Jew, such as MARK LEVIN, has more concern for our brethren in Christ than the Bishops of the United States of America?
God Bless you Mark Levin.
Well, they did open the door for them to come in.
My point exactly. You reap what sow.
Show your faces, ISIS Scum!
I thought the same thing Tom when I read those words. You are right on the money
Sounds like a good start to me.
“ISIS does not represent my faith, their actions are in contradiction to my faith, and I’m appalled at what they are doing in the name of my faith,” Qadhi told WMC.

I am obviously no Koranian (can I say that?) expert, but from what I have seen in their “holy” book, their actions are consistent with its teachings. The child molester prophet would be proud.
