FYI, this was all I could find online at the time those 3 students were stopped:
Omer ISLAMming an online poll. There are still some other messages by him cached on Google but this one only still remains in my FR posts. Even my older FR threads don't come up in the Google search.

Seriously, everone go to this website Milia sent and vote for the Prophet, Peace Be Upon Him. I just went and voted and apparently, Alhumdullilah the most votes are for the Prophet (PBUH) right now, at 20,352. Second place is Jesus, with 5,026. So we're way ahead but the more the better. I also want to point out a very important thing. Many of you will think that we don't need to worry about some stupid vote to prove or show anyone that Prophet Muhammad, Peace Be Upon Him is really "Number One".
Agreed. However, stop and think for a minute that the amount of people around the world that are influenced by these same magazines, programs, and surveys will also think that "Hey, how did this person win? What's so special about them...etc etc". So the idea is that this is also a way, (a big way), to attract people's attention to Islam and to what the religion is all about, rather than them being bogged down by stereotypes they hear from the media, etc. So please go and vote at this website:

On the other hand, Omer DID believe that Iraq/Saddam was making WMDs!
http://www.students.missouri.edu/lists/muslim-l/0126.html As-salam-alekum. I understand what you're saying and I absolutely
agree with you.
You must understand, first and foremost...that I am NOT, by any
means, justifying what America or ANY other country is doing (Muslim OR
non-muslim).
Please take what I write/say at face value. I mean only to inform
those who are interested and may not be very familiar with the events.
NO, what is going on in other muslim countries is not right...but
that isn't the issue I am discussing. But, my e-mail, as I stated in the
beginning, was not meant to defend anyone...I said I think everyone should
know the history behind the events occurring today.
Many things you wrote are apart from the issue of discussion:
1. Other nations ARE NOT producing anywhere near the amount of
weapons that Iraq is producing. The issue here is mass production of
weapons that can do a lot of damage all over the world, if used.
2. Clinton's impeachment...whether it is postponed or not, doesn't matter.
I really don't think this is the issue. Like I said earlier, this is a
United Nations plan, not the United States own.
3. You said, "How come Saddam lives and Iraqis die." If it was possible
to get close enough to Saddam to kill him, don't you think somebody
would have done it by now?
4. The Prophet PBUH and the Khalifa used to fight with swords...we're
talking major major weapons.
In short, the idea is not to discuss overall viewpoints. I'm not
expressing my own personal VIEW. This is just what's going on right now,
and I only wanted to let anyone who's interested know about it.
I understand all your points about Muslims all over the world, and
I also agree with you. But as far as what's going on in Iraq, the
decision was the United Nations' and not the US's. The only reason Iraq
is the area of concentration is because of the large capacity these
weapons have to cause destruction.
