An upstate imam urged student activists to “take out” an outspoken, pro-Israel Columbia University professor who’s returning to the embattled Ivy this fall after a year of antisemitic hate.
Vassar-educated, Utica-based imam Tom Facchine made the plea about business school professor Shai Davidai during an Aug. 20 webinar called “Islamic Political Activism” with various Columbia student groups which promoted and broadcast it.
“That Shai Davidai guy: How do we get him in trouble? How do we create a situation in which he’s in jeopardy?” Facchine, 35, asked. “If you’re able to take out somebody like that and make an example, that might shut up a hundred more.”
The Jersey-born Facchine left Christianity to become atheist, found Marx in college and converted to Islam in 2010.
Davidai alerted Columbia honchos about the imam’s screed and the university launched a probe using outside security experts who concluded that the rhetoric “did not create conditions that require enhanced security measures,” according to an email from VP of public safety Gerald Lewis to Davidai and shared with The Post.
Undaunted by the imam’s “direct threat,” the professor told The Post: “I will not be silenced – I know I’m speaking the truth.
**SNIP**
The machinations of “Imam Tom,” who enjoys espresso, hiking, and bird watching, according to his bio at the Yaqeen Institute for Islamic Research, are indeed dangerous, the professor said.
“This is not some run of the mill, uninformed individual [whipping] up students,” he added of the popular Muslim YouTube figure who serves as the resident scholar of the Utica Masjid mosque. “This is a radical extremist who knows exactly what he’s saying.”

Newly-minted "Imam" keeps his Christian name?
Islam is very fertile ground for neo-marxist revisionism.
Yes in this case it’s not free speech.
It can be construed as incitement to murder.
White Muslims are treated like royalty in the Muslim communities.
If somebody threatened to kill me, I guarantee I’d outlive them.
Jewish Columbia students were chased out of dorms, spat on, and pinned against walls: damning report
This got to end! Such actions can not be tolerated in the USA—where do you think we are England?
Tom Sfachime, eh.
The one and only thing that the religion of hate is good at is......hate.
Now, someone needs to make a direct threat against this Iman. Two can play this deadly game.
I bet if I put on Face Book a post like Tom Facchine's, encouraging the killing of the U of W president, Ana Mari Cauce, there would be the knocking and the breaking down of my front door by federal SWAT agents. I would be on my front porch; in my bikini underpants with rifle barrels on my head and hand cuffs on my wrists behind my back. They would be yelling, "Get down on your knees and squeal like a pig you MAGA freak!!!"
Where is equal justice?
That does not fall under freedom of speech.
Is that not, solicitation of murder? Everyone knows the pharase "TAKE OUT" means to kill.
If we are unwilling to do our duty, maybe we should not complain...
why isn’t he arrested for incitement to felony murder as well as whatever ‘hate crimes’ exist in the jurisdiction
we don’t need this kind of Satanic filth in America!!!!!!!!!
Don’t forget cruelty.
Or on planet earth 🌎🌍🌏.
agreed
Sh-h-h-h. Best done in silence...like Mossad.
And should a Christian make a comment like that about that *imam*, we all know what would happen.
