It appears that the Imam that called for the death of Ayaan Hirsi Ali for daring to speak out against the "religion of peace" STILL has a standing invitation from the University of Pittsburgh to speak: (h/t Weasel Zippers)
The Johnstown campus of the University of Pittsburgh is courting controversy after having promised a local imam - who advocates killing those who forsake their faith in Islam - an opportunity to address its student body.Vice President Samples did say that this invitation may change:Responding to a lecture at the campus given by an ex-Muslim promoting a book critical of Islam, the imam of the Islamic Center of Johnstown. Fouad ElBayly called the speaker's comments "poisonous" while advocating that apostates should be killed, "If you come into the faith, you must abide by the laws, and when you decide to defame it deliberately, the sentence is death."
Preceding ElBayly's fatwa [a determination made by a religious scholar on matters of Islamic jurisprudence] regarding how the speaker should be dealt with, he and the Islamic Center of Johnstown's president, Mahmoud Qazi met with the university's Vice President of Student and Academic Affairs, Dr. Jerry Samples.
During that meeting Mr. Samples agreed to allow the two access to the university so they could present their objections to the speaker's ideas.
Contacted today Mr. Samples stated that he wanted to "give them a separate time for them to come and discuss their religion on campus," and indicated that "they have been here before."
He stressed that the offer had been made so "that they could come and talk about the book" since the university is an academic forum where people should be able to discuss differing ideas.
For now at least, Mr. Samples indicated that though the offer for the university to host ElBayly still stands that it is subject to a review process which will take place in mid-summer at which point a final determination will be made.Maybe a few emails and calls will let this University know that TRUE hate speech, meaning speech which calls for the murder of another human being for no other reason then the fact that they spoke out against your religion, cannot be sanctioned by our schools.
(814) 269-7000 Ask for Dr. Jerry Samples officeSad that its come to this point isn't it? That our schools would even consider letting fanatical Muslims inside their campus. The very same Muslims that we are at war with....or write:
University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown c/o Dr. Jerry Samples 450 Schoolhouse Road Johnstown, PA 15904
UPDATE
Robert from Jihad Watch tried to talk to the good Imam with predictable results, plus he backed out of appearing on the Laura Ingraham Show at the last minute. Isn't that special.
UPDATE II
Someone did in fact get through to the Imam via the phone and had an interesting conversation:
I called the number and someone picked up and said hello. I said I was calling with regard to Imam Fouad ElBayly.Yup, what we have here is a radical Muslim, in our midst....with an invitation to speak to our kids.The person on the other end said, "Speaking." (!!!!)
Me: Is this Imam Fouad ElBayly?
ElBayly: Speaking.
Me: I understand that you called for the murder of Ayaan Hirsi Ali.
ElBayly: Oh no no, that was not correct.
Me: I have the quote right here. You said, "She has been identified as one who has defamed the faith. If you come into the faith, you must abide by the laws, and when you decide to defame it deliberately, the sentence is death."
ElBayly: Yes, but that is not my word. That is the call of God.
BTTT!
Will the university warn the students of a the expected visit of a proponent of murder? Has the university sent text message warnings to the students yet?
Let me get this straight: This school has invited someone who is calling for the murder of someone else to be a speaker, to help “educate” its students?
Does his god communicate with him through the street lights? Does he wear the towel on his head to keep out the thoughts of other gods, but let in the thoughts of his own?
Most places this is good enough for a committment to an institution. Why do the fuzzy heads of the left listen to this? Oh, I forgot. They are also getting their instructions from the street lights....
>>>A perfect example of Islamist lying and deception and double-speak. And they think this sort of thing is approved by The Prophet. It reflects their utter contempt for “infidels.”<<
There certainly are some passages in the Qur’an where they could nourish that belief.
Just saying...
Oh right, our bad. Preach hatred all you want pal, we should have realised that 2+2=5 and that black is white if Allah wills it.
This is an illuminating light on the sophistry and falsehood of Islam. Disclaiming responsibility for all actions because Allah wills it, maintaining self-contradictory facts because Allah wills it ... only the Holy Spirit can save the members of this deathcult.
This sort of thing IS approved by "the prophet", lower caps intentional. That wanker muhammed specifically approved of muslims denying the very existance of Allah if it would help get one over the Infidels. No-one is misinterpreting the Koran and ahadith.

And this is why Islam is so attractive to Democrats; it totally syncs up with their Liberal preferences.
Why is this guy still in our country, why hasn’t he been returned to Egypt, he hates America and hates our way of life? He is on that long list of Islamofascists who helped to screw up their own countries so badly they had to leave, and now they are here screwing up ours — and advocating murder.
the Jahnstahn campus yet????
You’d better not speak out against the Religion of Peace or we will kill you!
Have they no idea how stupid this makes them look??
When I said “ . . . they think this sort of thing [lying] is encouraged by The Prophet,” I was not not suggesting that he DIDN’T approve of it. Sorry about the ambiguity.
I love it! That will make a great poster.
I prefer to listen to Christian Fanatics. Any one of them signed up to speak?
The mooselimb population of Johnstown is probably .0000001%. Having lived there awhile it is predominantly Catholic and blue collar. I can’t see how J-town merits it’s own mosque. Yikes....
