Dr. Richard Antoun of Binghamton University, a retired professor of anthropology with a specialty in comparative religions allegedly was stabbed four times in the chest by a Saudi national, Abdulsalam Al-Zahrani, a cultural-anthropology grad student.

Professor Antoun was a peace activist, and a convert to Judaism, and was known on campus as "a really nice guy."

“Second degree” murder?

Huh?

Same idea behind the theory that one should stand still in the presence of grizzlies.

It makes it easier for the grizzlies to catch their next meal.

I believe it was a post on FR that mentioned that among killings of college campuses, foreign students have a much higher rate than others.

[Scanian]

A lot of once demanding schools have lowered their standards - for the sake of the “diversity” god, of course.

Foreign students take full advantage of the situation. Many have argued that Hussein succeeded in getting into Columbia and Harvard for just that reason - he indicated on his application that he was “foreign” and a “Muslim.”

[Scanian]

Yeah - he deserved it! Anyhow, every Muslim brother knows all the wars were caused by the Joooos, so the “peace activist” label had to be fake!
