The FBI is investigating a college professor for possible ties to terrorist groups. He maintains that he is just a Muslim convert who happens to call Osama bin Laden "the greatest." Julio Pino, an associate professor of history at Kent State University in Ohio, is suspected of having ties to the Islamic State group and using his class as a recruitment hub. An FBI spokeswoman confirmed to the Akron Beacon Journal on Tuesday that it is looking into Pino, who also goes by the name Assad Jibril Pino. The agency said there was no immediate threat to the university.
"From a legal standpoint, I'm not aware that they're going after me or charging me with anything," Pino told Kent Wired on Tuesday. "I'm not aware of any kind of criminal investigation or charges or anything of that sort. "I've not broken the law."
Kent University spokesman Eric Mansfield said in a statement released Tuesday that officials are cooperating with the FBI. "As this is an ongoing investigation, we will have no further comment," said Mansfield. Julio Pino of Kent State University used his Facebook page to praise the Islamic State group. The Clarion Project, a New York-based research institute, examined Pino's social-media presence and found instances where he applauded deceased al-Qaida mastermind Osama bin Laden and heaped praise on the "brave warriors" of ISIS. Its researchers captured screenshots of pro-terror messages before they were deleted.
"Sheik Osama (May Allah be Pleased with Him) was the greatest, and desrves [sic] praise for kicking off this jihad," the Cuban-born Muslim said May 25, 2015.

Dude..........lovely hat.
It’s interesting that he is protected under the law to continue to recruit and teach. Our leaders and authorities are too afraid to offend the Muslim that wants to kill us. Crazy world
I love moments like this; you get a liberal on the hook for supporting this guy, then you yank the rug - ‘So when did you start supporting anti-gay murderers? I thought you were progressive and pro gay rights, chief of which has to be the right to live...’
Singing “Me and Julio, down by the bomb factory”.
Kent State ... color me VERY surprised and shocked!
Looks like he is wearing some woman’s lace panties on his head.
This would be a good time to send the National Guard back to Kent State!;)
