Liberals are on a guilt trip. They feel guilty about being so successful. They fear that they will be accused of being successful. You hear them everyday complaining that American is at fault, America never does enough, Now the American President did not comment SOON enough about the Tsunami and the resultant distruction.
They are so full os Crap, a Tsunami cannot wash away their Guilt of Being accused of being successfull.

This wins a Twilight Zone award. He should write for The Onion.

Oh come now, this guy may be wrong, but he's not a terrorist. Also, I know Pakistani academics who are not "bloody America-hating vermin" or anything like that. And there do seem to be a fair number of people in Western Europe who match that description, so you may want to broaden your geographic criticism.

...the history of a unity dismembered, of societies manipulated by surrogates, of development derailed and disrupted, of a people dispossessed....VICTIMHOOD, THE LAST REFUGE OF THE LOSER.
The shot heard around the world was against a military force and face to face, 9-11 was against innocent people and by treachery. The professor is a loser and like the islamofacists a coward.
He should be fired.

"Oh come now, this guy may be wrong, but he's not a terrorist"
Read what his article says again, will you?
There is not that much difference between what he is calling for and what Bin Laden is calling for.
The guy doesn't have to drive a plane into tall buildings before he becomes a terrorist.
Mohamed Ata hadn't carried out any terrorist acts before 9/1 either.
Plus if he were arrested, he wouldn't be the first Arab/Pakistani academic to be arrested by the FBI for terrorist activities either, one Arab academic in Florida already was arrested earlier this year.
"Also, I know Pakistani academics who are not "bloody America-hating vermin" or anything like that."
This Pakistani academic is a bloody America-hating vermin" alright.
Once again read his article will you? Its dripping with hate.
"And there do seem to be a fair number of people in Western Europe who match that description, so you may want to broaden your geographic criticism."
This article was written by this America-hating Pakistani. Ergo my criticism is directed at said America-hating Pakistani.
I am not going to "broaden my criticism" to cover any geographical regions of academics whose articles I have not read, which may or may not be anti-American.

In his subjective sense, he is 100% correct; until we recognize and respond to this mentality we are at extreme peril.

Another Professor in the Crosshairs of Fox News-Ward's Not Alone (DUmmies)
FoxNews Puts Me In Its Crosshairs
By M. SHAHID ALAM
I published an essay, "America and Islam: Seeking Parallels," in Counterpunch on December 29, 2004. A day later, I began to receive nasty and threatening emails, all at once. These were orchestrated by a www.littlegreenfootballs.com . Shortly thereafter, other right-wing websites got into act, posting excerpts from the essay; these included jihadwatch.org, campuswatch.org, frontpagemag.com, freerepublic.com, etc. The messages posted on these websites were equally vicious, and some of them, containing explicit death threats, were 'kindly' forwarded to me.
What did I say in this essay? I made two points. First, that the 9-11 attacks were an Islamist insurgency: the attackers believe that they are fighting--as the Americans did, in the 1770s--for their freedom and dignity against a foreign occupation/control of their lands. Secondly, I argue that these attacks were the result of a massive political failure of Muslims to resist their tyrannies locally. It was a mistake to attack the US.
I followed the first essay with a second one, "Testing Free Speech In America," where I elaborate on the points I had made earlier. This too was published in Counterpunch.Org on Jan 1/2, 2005.It appears that Bill O'Reilly is doing a series on 'unAmerican' professors on US campuses. Last night, my wife tells me, he did a piece on Ward Churchill. Tonight will be my turn. I expect he will make all kinds of outlandish accusations that will resonate well with the left- and Muslim-hating members of his audience. This will generate calls and emails to Northeastern and to me ? containing threats, calls for firing me, and threats to withhold donations. I am not sure how well NU will stand up against this barrage.
If we can generate a matching volume of emails, letters and call to NU supporting my right to free speech, it might be helpful.
What else can we do?
