    U.S. history books document the saying “the only good indian, is a dead indian”.
    While in our politically correct society one would never get away with saying the same about Arabs or Muslims, it looks like we will have to face that reality sooner or later.

    You realize there are close to 1.5 BILLION muslims worldwide? They are approximately 22% or 1/5th of the world population. The religion of Islam is growing at a rate of 2.9% a year. The world is in big trouble. Pray pray pray pray pray. We need to beg Hashem to save us from them. These are the times of Moshiach. Do Teshuva when you still have the chance.

    Again here we go “no indication this is related to ethnic or race issues”. Fort hood a month ago. This now. What next? Before we realize no indication is neede d. The muslim murders the author of a book that writes in a way the muslim finds offensive. The muslim then is … Arrested for the killing. We the people are then told it has nothing to do with anything. Muslims across the world are told they will be rewarded for killing cartoonists who defile their kind religion. Authors are in hiding remember satanic verses author? All the bombings stabbings beheadings??? Wake up wake up.

    Prof. Antoun was apparently a non-orthodox convert to Judaism, who once wrote a chapter in a book called “How People Negotiate: Resolving Disputes in Different Cultures.” I guess the way a Moslem from Saudi Arabia negotiates and resolves disputes with someone of a different culture is by stabbing him to death.

    When will Americans learn what we are facing? The barbarians are at the gate.

    I live not far from Binghamton and there’s more to the story at: including an interview with the killer’s room mates whom he also threatened with a knife.
    The DA (“Mollen says there’s no indication of religious or ethnic motivation in the attack.”) can say this but the fact remains the killer CHOSE to kill a Jew! But enslavement to political correctness and being blind to the truth seems to be rampant.

    This is not something to worry about. Let Hashem settle the case.

    There are emails this Moslem terrorist wannabe sent out expressing his hatred of Israel. I guess, however, this had nothing to do with his murder of a professor who identified himself as Jewish.

    Ironically, one of this late professor’s books was about religious extremists.

    “Mollen says there’s no indication of religious or ethnic motivation in the attack.” Right. Just like Ft. Hood, which was a bad case of “PTSD” and not motivated by the inherent Islamic belief that all non-Muslims,must convert or die.Americans, Wake Up! Fellow Yidden, Wake Up! The longer we continue telling ourselves that, and continue having “Ramadan Awareness Day” in schools “to promote understanding and cultural diversity,” soon enough, we’ll have a muslim President in the White House (that the majority of Jews vote for)…

    #3, #5 posts are absolutly right. We are in big trouble. My son is in binghamton and taking Anthropology class. Not from this professor though.
    It is extremely troubling, infuriating. Makes me feel very angry with all suicidal political correctness going on.
    When you meet with such animalistic acts based upon extreme ideology you realize that you are defenseless. I agree with you about waking up and be aware. In reality we do not know what to do.
