Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

OSU Diversity Officer: Jihadi Artan “was a BUCKEYE…find compassion for his life”

Nov 30, 2016 8:45 am By Robert Spencer

Yes, he was trying to murder Infidels in the name of Allah and Islam — after all, he said, “By Allah, I am willing to kill a billion infidels” — but it isn’t as if he was a right-winger or a member of some other morally suspect group. On the contrary, he was a triple victim: a Muslim, a refugee, and a racial minority. That means that for addled leftists such as Stephanie Clemons Thompson, he is the real victim, no matter what he did.

“OSU Diversity Officer Apologizes For Terrorist In Facebook Post, Urges Sympathy,” by Saagar Enjeti, Daily Caller, November 30, 2016:

Ohio State University Assistant Director of Residence Life Stephanie Clemons Thompson may have urged sympathy for suspected Monday attacker Abdul Razak Ali Artan in a Facebook post.

The Daily Caller News Foundation was not able to independently verify the authenticity of the post, and Clemons was unavailable for comment at press time.

Clemons apparently repeated urging for her friends not to share the Facebook post, suggesting she was aware of the controversial nature of her language….

    Think of his pain? He was likely gleefully thinking of the glory that he was earning and that he would be rightfully entitled to as his reward. What is wrong with these people? If you are part of the OSU world please oppose these attitudes as best you can. Start with your governor “we may never know his motive”…

    what in the world is a “DIVERSITY OFFICER” and does this libtard have arrest powers if some one is not “diverse” enough?
    there needs to be a total defunding of these stupid public institutions of “higher learning” until sanity is restored

    Imagine the pain the victims are in as this psycho jihadi ran over them and slashed them for ISIS.
    By this moonbats reasoning she must weep crocodile tears for Jihadi John.
    She needs help STAT. A one way ticket to Mosul should provide her all the therapy she needs.

  8. Diane Harvey says

    “Yes, he was trying to murder Infidels in the name of Allah and Islam,”

    but his victims were intended to be diverse, and for that we must and should be thankful.

    As expressed [2009] by General Casey after another Muslim concluded that murdering American infidels was a respectful homage to Allah, “Our diversity, not only in our Army, but in our country, is a strength. And as horrific as this tragedy was, if our diversity becomes a casualty, I think that’s worse.”

    Nope, I’m all out if compassion for people who mean to destroy our free way of life.

    His extended cousin-marrying family should be made to pay our country back every penny of aid given to him, and he should be buried in a coffin made out of crispy bacon.

  11. DiMu says

    Nov 30, 2016 at 9:55 am

    And here you have the crux of the Western crisis – the microscopic thinking of the Left where every relationship is submitted to a victim-exploiter assessment, based on the hierarchy of skin color, ethnicity and gender. God forbid the terrorist wasn’t heterosexual or his victimhood would have been so much worse!

    Fortunately, academia is so utterly unable to disguise its bankruptcy and irrelevance to all except immature snowflakes, that a blast from Trump’s trumpet will blow them all to the moon – where they belong.

  12. Erred says

    Nov 30, 2016 at 9:58 am

    If Abdul Razak Ali Artan was part of the OSU family, what a sick family you have!
    A family where one family member tries to kill many other members, and yet another member
    tries to cover it up. Looks like the maffia, no worse, to me!

    It is a disgrace to even use a sacred word like “family” for that!

    Attempting to kill students and throwing one’s life away is not a Buckeye Tradition. It is an Islamic Tradition.

    Unfortunately, in America there are millions and millions like this delusional person. We need to re educate our youth fast so they can understand the logical process to follow to seek the truth. As of now our brainwashed liberals are incapable of seeing what is real what is not due to their worldview of relativism.

    In a common sensical world Islam and its cult members could not survive as it would take one reading of the Koran to find that it is nothing but garbage.

    Compassion for murdering jihadists is fine with me, provided compassion for their victims takes priority, which at this stage it clearly should. Further, real compassion for jihadists means you must recognize what jihadist murderers are in fact, a core part of the mass movement of Islam, and you must be prepared to take lawful steps to resist Islam and contain it, including deadly force to stop murdering jihadists like the one in this situation. If you are too lazy or dishonest to inform yourself accurately about the murderer’s real background, however, and can only assimilate him to your psychologizing fantasies (“he must have been in great psychological pain to do this”) then your compassion for him cannot be real compassion, because you are not actually paying attention to who he was. Your “compassion” is a confused, self-centered counterfeit by which you seek to make yourself feel pure and kind toward the “other”, but don’t actually care about the specific nature of the “other” in this particular case.

    Muhammad affirms that those who do not follow him will be slaughtered
    LINK: Page 222 (326 in the Arabic) of the earliest Muslim biography of Muhammad:

    Abu jahl said to them: “Muhammad alleges that if you follow him you will be kings of the Arabs and the Persians. Then after death you will be raised to gardens like those of the Jordan. But if you do not follow him you will be slaughtered, and when you are raised from the dead you will be burned in the fire of hell.” The apostle [Muhammad] came out to them with a handful of dust saying: “I do say that.”

    You don’t get the job of “diversity officer” unless you want to use your power to discriminate against Whites and to protect “minorities.”
    If you believe that Whites are the source of all the world’s problems, you are a shoo-in for the job.

    “An official at Catholic Charities of Dallas says the organization briefly offered aid to Ohio State University attacker Abdul Razak Ali Artan and his family when they first moved to the U.S. in 2014.

    CEO Dave Woodyard told KXAS that Artan arrived in Dallas with his mother and six siblings on June 5, 2014. Woodyard says the Somali family arrived at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport from Pakistan through Kennedy Airport.

    He says the organization gave the family shelter and aid as part of the government resettlement program. He says the group’s records show the family received shelter for 23 days before leaving for Ohio.”

    It is ironic that while OSU President Michael Drake was chancellor at UC Irvine, for years he pampered the Muslim Student Union as they brought in radical anti-Israel, anti-American and anti-Semitic speakers to campus. After the MSU disrupted the Israeli ambassador to Israel’s speech in 2010, they were let off with a ten-week suspension.

    We never learn.

    Acts of Kafir Hatred must be deemed criminal acts in all democratic societies. Period.

    The concept of Kafir Hatred must be brought to the front of our battles against Islamic Jihad. In the media, on university campuses, at every opportunity to drive home the crux of the problem. If “islamophobia” can get all this airtime, we must respond with equal airtime for Kafir Hatred (hatred of people who don’t believe in Islamic ideology and who do not follow the commands listed in the Quran.)

    President Trump…are you reading this?

    First, Islam does NOT respect diversity. Explain that, with examples, to this deluded DIversity Officer.
    Next, How much does a Diversity Officer get paid?
    Next, Start a campaign amongst the alumni and endowment fund big wigs to reduce their donation by the amount of her salary.

    She has obviously spent far too much time in sociology classes. Totally indoctrinated to the point that she is actually dangerous to the students she is supposed to counsel and help. Someone with a sense of reality needs to reprogram her before she goes on a rampage.

  33. Jack Diamond says

    Nov 30, 2016 at 2:00 pm

    “Think of the pain he must have felt” We must have done something to drive him to this desperate cry for help, right Stephanie? Where, oh where, were his prayer rooms? Think of how marginalized we made him feel and it must have been our looking at him as a potential terrorist that made him one (Hillary warned us about the cost of “Islamophobia”!).

    It cannot have been what Islam teaches a Muslim, that’s not even a topic allowed in Stephanie’s universe, you would be “unfriended” for even hinting at such heresy. Diversity (of opinion)? Not so much. You were not part of his “family”, Stephanie, ever, and attempted mass murder is not a “tragedy”
    (meaning ‘no judgments’ we’re all victims here) it is an evil act by an evil man acting for an evil cause.

    He wasn’t in any pain at all. He was winning martyrdom and the highest rung in Paradise for himself (and 70 of his relatives). He was following orders from the Caliph. He was fulfilling the obligation of Allah to kill his enemies and punching a ticket to Jannah through the human sacrifice Allah requires (s.9:111) a ticket to Paradise through the blood and skulls of the disbelievers. And all disbelievers at Ohio State and in America should be celebrating his timely death for obvious reasons.

  34. Shmooviyet says

    Nov 30, 2016 at 2:26 pm

    She will ‘unfriend’ anyone who posts a photo of dead attacker– then states ‘we must all come together’.
    As long as it’s under HER fascistic “rules of tolerance”.
    Try to imagine the terror and pain of those attacked with a fearsome blade and now lying in hospital beds, Steff.

  35. davej says

    Nov 30, 2016 at 3:31 pm

    Compassion for a would-be murderer on what basis? Just automatic because he was a “minority?

    Where is the compassion for his victims, who would all be dead if he could have managed it.

    He was a Buckeye – yikes.

  36. mgoldberg says

    Nov 30, 2016 at 4:42 pm

    This is why ‘Diversity’ is a sham, a scam, and a misdirection from the globalism that it truly represents. It is utopianism, and betrays the individual responsibility of peoples except as service to the ‘oppressed’ being they see all others as the oppressors.
    Diversity is what this person memorializes, rather than those who’s lives were considered forfeit by the would be homicidist, the would be Jihadist, who felt absolutely nothing for others, only for muslims, and who would have gladly executed all others; how does that make him a ‘Buckeye’???
    Only if people worship ‘diversity’ rather than sanity, responsibility, and common sense.

  37. Carlos Danger says

    Nov 30, 2016 at 5:01 pm

    This dopey woman, with her inane platitudes, is like a Turkey voting to celebrate Thanksgiving. Given the chance, the deceased jihadist would have carved her a new one.
    As the saying goes…you just can not fix stupid.

    Think of he pain he must have been to feel that his actions were the only solution

    Dumbass. If I saw someone using that kind of rhetoric on my timeline I’d unfriend them myself. He was NOT someone suffering from a painful degenerative, fatal illness who took his own life, he was someone who couldn’t wait to get into his own private porn paradise and decided to speed it up by *murdering innocent civilians*. Take your Saviour Complex elsewhere. I will *not* be ashamed of celebrating the death of a wannabe murderer. He got what he was coming to him – you live by the machete, you die by the bullet, and the world is a little safer now.

    If anyone’s interested, there’s a petition floating around to get his f***ing moron removed from her position:

    *Insane*. Jihadist Abdul Artan was not a “Buckeye”–he did not share the values of OSU students. Instead, he wanted to *slaughter* them.
