A controversial Muslim professor at the University of Connecticut retired this past year after students complained that he required them to say an Arabic phrase and remove their shoes before entering his office.

Retired biology professor, Felix Coe, taped two signs outside his office requiring students to say “Bismillah,” an Arabic phrase meaning “in the name of Allah” before entering his office, (Muslim prof made students praise Allah before entering office) reported. Visitors were also required to remove their shoes.

This was just last evening on ( LIFE, LIBERTY & LEVIN)

Listen to The Great One and this American Muslim Doctor discuss the radical side of Islam/Shria Law....what makes Islam and The United states the direct opposite of the other....freedom and liberty has nothing to do with Islam.

Apparently Americans who practice Islam have an uphill battle like the Professor in the article...who, imho should never been hired.

So.... University HR probably has an anti-proselytizing rule for Christians, but gives a pass to Mohammedans imposing their actual practices on the infidels? Sounds about right.

Some creative, freedom-loving, and musically-inclined students should get together and sing this outside his window:

But I’m just a poor boy and nobody loves me
He’s just a poor boy from a poor family
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
Easy come easy go will you let me go
Bismillah! No we will not let you go - let him go
Bismillah! We will not let you go - let him go
Bismillah! We will not let you go let me go
Will not let you go let me go (never)
Never let you go let me go
Never let me go ooo
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Oh mama mia, mama mia, mama mia let me go
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me
For me
For me

“Controversial” in this context means in the commission of a crime.

I’ve got an old pair of gym socks in my garage that might persuade him to reconsider one of those signs.

Go in or go out.

If he wouldn’t let them leave ... that would be kidnapping.

1st Amendment violation!

It has been ruled that the professor is an agent of the state and can NOT ESTABLISH a religious test.

If he insists on hearing an Arabic phrase, I would memorize this one before entering his office:
'Ana 'uwmin biallah , al'abu eazun wajalun , khaliq alsama' wal'ardu. 'Ana 'uwmin bayusue almasih , aibnih alwahid , rabana.
(I believe in God, the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord.)

I just watched the video...He told that girl to “get the hell outta my office”...

He pushed the camera of whoever was video taping him...

Someone should and probably will, knock the hell outta him...

“Bismillah,” that’s pronounced “Praised be Jesus Christ,” right?

Considering he retired. Sounds like HR gave him an ultimatum.
