Editor’s note: This is a campanion piece to one posted here earlier (written Feb. 28 2007), which has sparked interest at Fox News Channel on various programs including Bill O’Reilly’s “O’Reilly Factor”.
One could almost understand his initial reluctance to answer questions about his connection to the Jihadist website known as “Global War.” After all, the initial accusations that he gives comfort and aid to our enemies were all made by people who write while wearing their pajamas.
But I became 100% convinced of his connection to the site – the one that encourages Jihad and helps people learn how to make bombs – when I read the April 2006 Columbus Dispatch article by Kathy Lynn Gray. The damning portion is reproduced below:
Kent State University has been dealing for several years with the case of a Muslim professor, Julio Pino, who calls himself “the most dangerous Muslim in America.”
Pino, a tenured associate history professor, angered some faculty members in 2002 when he wrote a column in the school newspaper that was an ode to a Palestinian suicide bomber. Pino called the bomber a martyr.
English professor Lewis Fried called on the university to fire Pino, but Kent State President Carol Cartwright said at the time that the school supports the free exchange of ideas.
Pino now has a blog on the Internet where he writes that U.S. servicemen are butchers who massacre Iraqis and urges readers to “join the Islamic resistance.”
Pino said yesterday he had no comment. – [email protected]
By the way, the “most dangerous Muslim in America” line came right from the “Global War” blog site. His response of “no comment” can be roughly translated as follows: “(Expletive) you, infidel. I have tenure.”
But it gets worse. On my second of three calls this week to the Department of History, I laid out my accusations on Julio’s voice mail. He declined to comment. His silence can be roughly summarized as follows: “(Expletive) you, infidel. I have tenure.”
And then Fox News got involved with an invitation to Pino to debate me on “Fox News Live” Thursday morning (March 1st). He declined Fox, which can be roughly translated as: “(Expletive) you, infidel. I have tenure.”
Next in line was the staff of Special Report with Britt Hume. When they somehow got through to him directly, Pino refused to deny his association with the “Global War” blog – a refusal which can be roughly translated as: “(Expletive) you, infidel. I have tenure.”
His Chair did not help matters at all when publicly admitted this week that Pino has confessed to him that he does contribute to the site – although he does not “own” it. Well, that certainly clears him. Just like the guy I know who committed murder and later said – after being caught with the smoking gun – that he didn’t “own” it. He just fired a few shots from it. That’s all.
And speaking of smoking guns, I’m holding one right in my lap as I write this short column. It is a profanity-laced email from http://global-war.bloghi.com using the email address ([email protected]).
How about that, ladies and gentlemen? Kent State issued a statement yesterday – after an investigation that took hours – saying that there is, a) no evidence connecting Pino to the site (which contradicts his Chair’s statements), and b) no evidence he used Kent State resources in the activities he allegedly wasn’t involved with.
I would say that establishing Pino as an active Al Qaeda sympathizer was difficult but, clearly, that would be a lie. And that might get me promoted to the administration of Kent State University.

Mike S. Adams was born in Columbus, Mississippi on October 30, 1964. While a student at Clear Lake High School in Houston, TX, his team won the state 5A soccer championship. Mike Adams graduated from C.L.H.S. in 1983 with a 1.8 GPA. Mike Adams was ranked 734 among a class of 740, largely as a result of flunking English all four years of high school. After obtaining an Associate's degree in psychology from San Jacinto College, Mike Adams moved on to Mississippi State University where he joined the Sigma Chi Fraternity. While living in the fraternity house, his GPA rose to 3.4, allowing him to finish his B.A., and then to pursue a Master's in Psychology. In 1990, Mike Adams turned down a chance to pursue a PhD in psychology from the University of Georgia, opting instead to remain at Mississippi State to study Sociology/Criminology. This decision was made entirely on the basis of his reluctance to quit his night job as member of a musical duo. Playing music in bars and at fraternity parties and weddings financed his education. Mike Adams also played for free beer.
.
Upon getting his doctorate in 1993, Adams, then an atheist and a Democrat, was hired by UNC-Wilmington to teach in the criminal justice program. A few years later, Adams abandoned his atheism and also became a Republican. He also nearly abandoned teaching when he took a one-year leave of absence to study law at UNC-Chapel Hill in 1998. After returning to teach at UNC-Wilmington, Adams won the Faculty Member of the Year award (issued by the Office of the Dean of Students) for the second time in 2000.
.
After his involvement in a well publicized free speech controversy in the wake of the 911 terror attacks, Adams became a vocal critic of the diversity movement in academia. After making appearances on shows like Hannity and Colmes, the O'Reilly Factor, and Scarborough Country, Adams was asked to write a column for Townhall.com.
.
Today Mike Adams enjoys the privilege of expressing himself both as a teacher and a writer. Mike Adams is also an avid hunter and reader of classic literature. Mike Adams published his first book, Welcome to the Ivory Tower of Babel, in 2004. His second book, Feminists Say the Darndest Things: A Politically Incorrect Professor Confronts "Womyn" On Campus, was published in 2008.
