Probably this will be dismissed as a prank: after all, everyone knows that all Muslims in the U.S. are “moderate,” and that only greasy Islamophobes think otherwise.
“Pro-Islamic State messages painted on Youngstown State rock,” Associated Press, November 23, 2015 (thanks to Bulldog):
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (AP) – Police are investigating messages extoling [sic] the Islamic State group that were painted on a large rock at Youngstown State University in northeastern Ohio.
University spokeswoman Shannon Tirone says staff discovered the messages when they arrived on campus Monday morning. The messages on the rock outside of the Kilcawley Center read: “We are coming,” ”France Deserves Destruction” and “YSU supports ISIS.”
Tirone says employees painted over the messages with white paint and some students plan to re-paint the rock with an American flag.
Tirone says the university doesn’t believe the messages indicate any credible threat….

“Tirone says the university doesn’t believe the messages indicate any credible threat….”
So do they have evidence for that view? Why do they believe that?
From the evidence we’ve been offered, it’s impossible to draw a conclusion one way or the other. You need to have some evidence in order to have a sound opinion. “Having a feeling”, for example, might just be wishful thinking, one’s own natural optimism.

OT:
Sorry, I just need to rant and vent. My closest friends cannot believe I have an issue with the US aiding the “refugee crisis.”
I had to hear shit like “The United States helps those in crisis…it is what we stand for.”
How about we sweep our own front porch?
“What the hell happened to you, Ashley?”
So I could do was send this out via email…without comment.

It’s frustrating and downright disturbing, Ashley. My Face-feed is littered with videos of utter idiocy. Young people saying “I’m Muslim, and I’m Gay/Lesbian etc.”. Suicidal and/or completely oblivious to the actual source texts. Sadly some will never so much as look say at Jihadwatch, they refuse to even question the bs feeds they see. 8-(
Ashley says
Thanks for the validation, Christopher.
I really resent having my capacity for compassion challenged because I strongly oppose an influx of Syrian “refugees” coming to the States. I dare say that my character has been attacked and some strong friendships have become strained and fragile over the issue.
Fortunately, I don’t “do” social media so I’m not bombarded with that nonsense!
What really gets my goat (no pun intended)? I’m perceived as “un-American” and/or abandoning the very principles that makes America so fucking great. Well, I don’t see America as so fucking great, and haven’t for quite some time. Sure, we’re a relatively free country today, but the kitchen timer is ticking…
The friendships I speak of have endured for 30+ years. Friends that are not only willing to give the shirt off their back for me, but HAVE done so. This isn’t about wandering into the taboo field of discussing religion and politics…it has to do with harboring Syrian muslims that want us DEAD.
It is like beating a dead horse to get my point across. It is an exercise in futility, and it hurts. I don’t preach…I try to speak articulately and with a measured, calm cadence about my position on the issue when prompted (I never initiate discussing the refugee crisis…I know better). It has been suggested by one close friend that I suffer from a personality disorder that borders on paranoia. WTF?
Anyway, wishing you and all Jihad Watchers a happy and SAFE Thanksgiving.

I’m afraid this doesn’t surprise me at all, Ashley. Stay strong!

Looks credible to me. I guess the uni didn’t want to look like “racist Islamophobes” which of course is the most important thing.

A hint for law enforcement who wish to understand the JIHAD DOCTRINE:
“Jihad (struggle) for God’s cause, in spite of its extreme importance and its great significance for the future of this religion, has been NEGLECTED by the ‘ulama (leading Muslim scholars) of this age. They have feigned ignorance of it, but they know that it is the only way to the return and the establishment of the glor of Islam anew. Every Muslim preferred his own favorite ideas and philosophies above the Best Road, which God–Praised and Exalted He is–drew Himself (a road that leads back) to (a state of) Honor for His Servants. There is no doubt that the idols of this world can only be made to disappear through the power of the sword. It is therefore that the Apostle Muhammad said: “I have been sent with the Sword at this hour, so that God alone is worshipped”.
– from ‘The Neglected Duty’ (Al Faridah al Ghaibah) by Muhammad Faraj.

America’s leaders are largely in denial that RADICAL JIHAD CHIC IS PREVALENT AMONG MUSLIM YOUTH and that that culture is strong among Muslim university students who are supposed to be ‘moderate’…and yet, they are not ‘moderate’.
America’s leaders must stop denying that the JIHAD DOCTRINE IS MOTIVATING VIOLENCE AMONG MUSLIM YOUTH.
Jihad is normative Islam, rather than an aberration. Muslims will abandon jihad when they are completely deprogrammed from Islam.
Michael Copeland says
“Jihad means to war against non-muslims”, and is a “communal obligation”
(Manual of Islamic Law, “Reliance of the Traveller” o9.0, o9.1).
It is not dependent on a wish to do it. It is INSTRUCTED:
“Warfare is ordained for you, though it is hateful unto you”, Koran 2:216.
“Fight them and kill them until all the governance is Islam”, Koran 8:39.
“to make it superior over all religions even though the non-muslims hate (it)” 9:33.
No choice is available:
“It is not for a believer, man or woman, when Allah and His Messenger have decreed a matter that they should have any option in their decision”, Koran 33:36.
The Koran is part of Islamic law.
One who denies any verse has to be killed. The killing can be performed, penalty-free and vigilante style, by anyone “since it is killing someone who deserves to die” (Manual of Islamic Law, “Reliance of the Traveller” o8.7(7), o8.4. The Manual is available as a free download).

Did the artist first check if an armed Jew was hiding behind behind the rock?
pdxnag says
Like Clock Boy if you arrest the artist they will sue you for 15 Million dollars.
Cthulhu says
There is a misspell. Should be “We are cumming” 😉
Joseph says
The messages on the rock outside of the Kilcawley Center read: “We are coming,”
Should have painted over on the rock…
We are armed
We are ready
We will kill you.
Angemon says
Why?
Joseph says
Angemon,
I don’t consider my idea (above) a threat either, I consider it a promise. Maybe the lefties at the university consider it the same way?
If I don’t get a chance…May you have a happy Thanksgiving.
Lazer Tag says
I hope we invest millions to investigate the perpetrators of this incident. Isn’t that what colleges have been doing when anti-muslim graffiti is posted anywhere?????
rolf wittwer says
Islam means deepfrozen life forever.

Tirone says the university doesn’t believe the messages indicate any credible threat….
