The University of Missouri has been battered by protests over racial relations on the campus for weeks, including the recent resignation of a faculty member who tried to silence a student reporter. Now, an assistant professor at the University of Missouri is under arrest on suspicion of child abuse after Benghazi native Youssif Z. Omar reportedly attacked a female 14-year-old relative for not wearing a hijab to Hickman High School. The University says that Omar has not worked at the university for months. Students were reportedly not fond of Omar and some noted his explosive temper, yelling at students, and poor English.
Omar is listed on the University’s website as a graduate teaching assistant of Arabic and the managing editor of the undergraduate journal “Artifacts.” He received his Bachelors Degree in translation and multiple Masters Degrees in Libya. He secured his PhD in English Education, Linguistics and Translation Studies while at the University of Missouri from 2008-2013. The Mizzou website still lists him as Adjunct Instructor of Arabic in German & Russian Studies.
Omar is accused of attacking the teenager by pulling her down the stairway by the hair and striking her in the face after seeing her with a hijab.
Notably, in an edition of “Artifacts,” Omar wrote and Editor’s Introduction that said “It is very hard for some people to be away from their own culture because they find themselves confined to the deep-rooted beliefs and customs they acquired and learned from the communities in which they were born and raised.” He may be a case in point but his “confinement” will now be more concrete if convicted.
It is always more disconcerting to see someone not only with advance degrees but actually teaching at a university commit such acts of violent intolerance and orthodoxy. Omar himself is an “artifact” of orthodoxy in believing that he had the right to physically punish a girl for wanting to go to school without a veil.

Do you believe that “immigration by amendment” was constitutional?
Is deportation the legal and constitutional penalty for illegal alien status?
May a law or amendment be brought for the benefit of “property?”
May a law or amendment be brought for the benefit of citizens of a foreign or no country?
Do you believe that wartime compulsory amendments can be constitutionally ratified without a quorum, through coercion and under the duress of war and its aftermath, under an unconstitutional executive branch that acts as a dictatorial tyrant?
Do you believe Lincoln’s illegal “Reign of Terror” should have been nipped in the bud, seeing the arrest and prosecution of Lincoln for Lincoln’s unconstitutional suspension of Habeas Corpus?
When Lincoln violated the Constitution and broke the law, was he a traitor and a criminal?
The problem, as you presented, is not the town officials, the problem is/was illegal aliens.
To wit,
Abraham Lincoln –
“If all earthly power were given me,” said Lincoln in a speech delivered in Peoria, Illinois, on October 16, 1854, “I should not know what to do, as to the existing institution [of slavery]. My first impulse would be to free all the slaves, and send them to Liberia, to their own native land.” “…he asked whether freed blacks should be made “politically and socially our equals?” “My own feelings will not admit of this,” he said, “and [even] if mine would, we well know that those of the great mass of white people will not … We can not, then, make them equals.”
Thomas Jefferson –
“Suppose 20 millions of republican Americans thrown all of a sudden into France, what would be the condition of that kingdom? If it would be more turbulent, less happy, less strong, we may believe that the addition of half a million of foreigners to our present numbers would produce a similar effect here.”
Alexander Hamilton –
The safety of a republic, according to him, depended “essentially on the energy of a common national sentiment, on a uniformity of principles and habits, on the exemption of the citizens from foreign bias and prejudice, and on that love of country which will almost invariably be found to be closely connected with birth, education and family.”
“The influx of foreigners must, therefore, tend to produce a heterogeneous compound; to change and corrupt the national spirit; to complicate and confound public opinion; to introduce foreign propensities. In the composition of society, the harmony of the ingredients is all-important, and whatever tends to a discordant intermixture must have an injurious tendency.”
“…whatever tends to a discordant intermixture must have an injurious tendency.”
The state of Missouri (Mizzoura) should immediately take the kid out of the hands of any relative, any Muslim, and put her with a family or facility safe from her so called “family”. Then, interview and cross examine all relatives who know this child, and the perp uncle. If the perp uncle is not a citizen then he needs to be deported after his criminal offense is concluded. If he comes back in across some border have a bounty on his head with a right to shoot to kill order attached to his name, profile and published on the internet. He is a dork all the way. Probably smokes tobacco.
The article about planted dope? Hows that mind blowing. Our local pd got rid of a female cop alleging basically the same. Cops prob use that at both ends of the candle. To justify a beat or to get a new boss or rid of a member who wont go along. Thats why ppl shouldnt plea. Their civic duty in a set up is discover. Wish ful thinking will also blow your mind.

It seems like this case in Dothan requires a major article from Prof. Turley in USA Today or on this site.
Is this an exam q? The spin is he attacked her bc no hijab. The other para was bc he saw her with one. Whatever the reason….the “child” was 14. Old enough to marry in some states. Old enough to abortion or other medical consent in others. Old enough to be charged as an adult herself many places. So he pulled her hair. Bfd. Some times i wonder how cops keep their own kids in line. Do they spank them? Time outs? Threaten them with arrest? ( like they’d put their own kids in juvi). Pulled her hair for wearing or not wearing…who cares. …she’s fine. Pulling hair is juvenile nice fighting…..everyone has done it….it doesn’t mean you become an ax murder. Then again if our gov wanted to exploit his translation ability…five ways to the sabbath between english arabic and russian….et al….we’d throw the book at him….turn him to our team or else prison for thirty years for pulling hair. Woop woop.

The Rule of Thumb
(was an artificial and amusing anecdote – not quite the level of the Quran).
The ‘rule of thumb’ has been said to derive from the belief that English law allowed a man to beat his wife with a stick so long as it is was no thicker than his thumb.
__________
In 1782, Judge Sir Francis Buller is reported as having made this legal ruling and in the following year James Gillray published a satirical cartoon attacking Buller and caricaturing him as ‘Judge Thumb’. The cartoon shows a man beating a fleeing woman and Buller carrying two bundles of sticks. The caption reads “thumbsticks – for family correction: warranted lawful!”
It seems that Buller was hard done by. He was notoriously harsh in his punishments and had a reputation for arrogance, but there’s no evidence that he ever made the ruling that he is infamous for. Edward Foss, in his authoritative work The Judges of England, 1870, wrote that, despite a searching investigation, “no substantial evidence has been found that he ever expressed so ungallant an opinion”.
It’s certainly the case that, although British common law once held that it was legal for a man to chastise his wife in moderation (whatever that meant), the ‘rule of thumb’ has never been the law in England.
Post Office,
Go here. Read. Get back to me. K?

John how did I know you’d head to islamophobia-r-us and link cherry -picked verses out of context?
Well, that is what EVERY islamophobic does 🙂
O Lord, please let me meet the one, the lone, the oh so elusive islamophobe who has actually read the quran and has an argument that was not given to him by a smarter person!
And let me see, John, based on what every other islamophobe replies when challenged, you will say:”” I am not gonna waste my time reading that crap!””
Yeah, bull’s eye?
Now, I can go through the site and reply to every single item, but I would be doing all the work. so, John, dear friend, let’s split the heavy lifting, you give me one item at a time and I’ll know it out of the park!
I am waiting.
Since I’ve got my dear friend karen here, whom I miss a great deal, I’ll take the opportunity to ask her again to please enlighten us about her views on extremism. Her views are very insightful, and I think we all could use to know and learn from them.
Being a bit shy, she is very reluctant to stand out, but hey, it is for the greater good, especially since she started the conversation.
Karen, if you keep playing coy, I’d have to give the autographed, leather-bound 1st edition quran I promised you to John!

karen said to Po:
Do you consider crashing a van deliberately into a civilian bus stop, hitting people, and then jumping out with a knife to stab a woman with a baby a terrorist attack? Yes or now. And this time answer the question.
Po answered:
yes, I do!
Do YOU consider the bombing of hospitals, of schools, of ambulances, the dropping of a missile on 4 kids playing on the beach, the lighting of a sleeping family on fire a terrorist act? Yes or no? And this time answer the question!

Where is my friend Karen? I miss her stories about her many “moderate”muslims friends who so conveniently contrast her many more stories of evil muslims!

I don’t have any sympathy for immigrants who plead that it’s difficult to leave behind extremist views. I knew a Jordanian family for years. One of the daughters was being stalked by a fellow Jordanian, and it was quite bad. The father told me that he would know how to handle this if they were back in Jordan. He had a desert and a shovel. But here he had to obey our laws. He didn’t succumb to his upbringing. He changed and adapted, and he protected his daughter without resorting to violence.

Boy, I called it on the spot! What do I win?
John, i’ll bite!
Stand your ground, show me where in the quran it says all that you mention!
I am willing to bet my 1st edition, leather-bound, autographed quran that you won’t find it in it!
po – I’ll bite. Who autographed your quran?
Paul, I can’t tell you, it would blow your mind!
po – since you are trying to flog your autographed 1st edition quran off on non-believers, the least you could do is tell us who autographed it.
Paul, let me use the Donald Trump method, trust me, it is great!””
po – there is no reason for me to trust you.

He’s a dork, he’s a dork!
He’s a dork all the way.
From the hair on his face to his muslim ways.
Ship him to Libya as fast as you can.
The kids at Mizzou need a new Tiger fan.
This individual should be charged with a hate crime, and then deported after conviction. We need to give his daughter asylum.
No matter how much we protest and condemn his behavior, the reality is that we have received insight into the home life of this 14 year old girl. Whether he gets barred from the university or not, she is going to be subjected to this extremist point of view at home. I suspect he is not the only relative to feel this way.

bambam, if you are willing to vow stop attacking Islam, I vow to condemn every single blog featuring a stupid act by a muslim?
Deal?
Or would that rob you of your purpose 😕
What is up with Missouri these days? Is it trying to be the new Florida?
Well said, Mike.
bambam, coming from you, it is so laughable of an accusation!
I mean, the demand you put out that i condemn every single stupid act a muslim does is accompanied by your staunch defense of any stupid act a jew does…and yet you get to demand that I keep apologizing and condemning an act that has NOTHING to do with me?
What, all Blacks should condemn Ben carson and all whites should condemn Donald trump?
How silly is that?
unlike you, I condemn everyone equally, whatever the side, the ethnicity or the religion. Stupid is as stupid does!
I would not need defending islam if Islam were not attacked…and by no stauncher party than YOU, our resident islamophone, now that Pogo is gone!
The day we can discuss the act/person and not the religion, is the day I discuss the act/person, not the religion.
Until you do that however, how indecent and intellectually dishonest it is to demand I cease?
