Oberlin College’s 'Professor of Peace' endorsed fatwa to murder Salman Rushdie

An Islamic studies academic dubbed the "Professor of Peace" at Oberlin College in Ohio endorsed the campaign to assassinate U.S. and British writer Salman Rushdie because the famous novelist depicted the Muslim prophet Muhammad irreverently.

A 24-year-old man named Hadi Matar allegedly stabbed Rushdie on Friday in the neck and liver during the author’s speech in Chautauqua, New York. Rushdie is on a ventilator and cannot talk.

According to law enforcement officials, Matar’s social media footprint showed that he was a fan of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, a U.S.-designated foreign terrorist organization. Matar was also sympathetic to radical Shia Islamism—the governing religion of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

When asked about the then-Supreme Leader Ruhollah Khomeini’s fatwa and the "right to put a bounty on someone’s head," according to a 1989 Reuters report, Iranian scholar and former diplomat Mohammad Jafar Mahallati responded: "I think all Islamic countries agree with Iran. All Islamic nations and countries agree with Iran that any blasphemous statement against sacred figures should be condemned."

It figures a scumbag like this would be a professor at Oberlin. The college is crying poverty in light of the judgement against them in the Gibson's Bakery case. Get woke go broke. Iranian scholar. That's an oxymoron. Even Amnesty International has him on their 💩list of human rights abusers. How many of the deadbeats who's college loans are going to be forgiven by pedoJoe attended this 💩hole of a diploma mill?

His “peace” is what Kant called “the peace of the graveyard”.

Muslims never invade in order to assimilate and make their host country better but ti establish a worldwide Caliphate under Sharia Law.
