It’s good to see that Sayed A. Quraishi is facing charges. Given the state of American academia today, it’s a wonder he hasn’t been made president of the university.
“UI student facing hate-crime charges over rock thrown at Jewish students during protest march,” by Mary Schenk, The News-Gazette, June 7, 2022:
URBANA — A University of Illinois student who admitted to police that he threw a rock at students gathered at a Jewish center on campus during a protest march in April has been charged with committing a hate crime.
State’s Attorney Julia Rietz said the charge against Sayed A. Quraishi, 23, who listed an address in the first block of East Green Street, Champaign, is a Class 3 felony punishable by penalties ranging from probation to two to five years in prison….
A summary of a UI police report about the incident said about 5 p.m. April 18, Students for Justice in Palestine, a registered student organization, held a protest march that began at Foellinger Auditorium on the Quad, then went to the office of the vice chancellor for diversity, equity and inclusion, then to Hillel, then the Swanlund Administration Building before ending at the Alma Mater statue in front of the Illini Union.
One of the Hillel staff members saw a person in the crowd throw a rock toward the Jewish students.
Captured on surveillance video, UI police identified Quraishi as the alleged rock thrower. He told them he was present to support the Palestinian group and that he felt the Jewish students were being disrespectful as the Palestinian speakers talked of women and children being killed. He said he threw the rock in the direction of the Jewish students knowing that it is a sign of protest where a rock is used as a weapon….

In prison, he’ll learn about more ways to show his hatred…from other mozlums.

Somehistory, I think the chances of Sayed Quraishi ever seeing prison over this are not happening to none. I’m thinking more a fine, suspended sentence, or community service.
somehistory says
I don’t expect any “justice” here either, but if they sent him up, he’d just learn more stuff and how to do it from other mozlums. after all, some do get prison time….the prisons are full of them.

Grimly true, Somehistory. It’s not as bad here as in prisons in the UK and Europe, but still pretty bad.
Mount Zion says
In the UK an infidel left a couple of bacon slices on the main entrance doorhandle of a mosque. He got jailtime because apparently his motivation was hate. What do you thing weights heavier throwing a rock or leaving pork on a door knob , and yet I’m sure the one who threw the rock will have all charges dismissed or will get off on a technicality or will maybe have to pay a small fine.

Pinocchio, you’ve excelled yourself. More lies per square inch than ever before. Disney Studios surely has a place for you in their fantasy department. (Have I ever used the words ‘White Supremacist’? No, never. How odd. Have I ever said Jihadists don’t use firearms? No, never. How strange. But never mind, lies are common currency in this fantasy world.)
Meanwhile, the rock-thrower awaits his sentence – what excruciating penalty would Mr Spencer demand for a Muslim who outraged the jihadwatchers and dared to throw a stone?

Is “Rod” calling poster Mount Zion “Pinocchio”? This seems unlikely, since all of this claptrap seems to be aimed at my comments here.
I suppose he doesn’t understand replying to someone’s actual comment.
So I shall proceed as though “Rod” was replying to myself–although perhaps this rant was actually aimed at another poster? Unclear.
In any case, “Rod” wrote”

…………………….
“Rod” regularly claims that anyone concerned with the horrors of Jihad terror is a racist. Since these smears are never aimed at bigots of other ethnicities, one assumes that he is characterizing Anti-Jihadists as white supremacists. If he is not, he can say what he means–but of course he won’t.
Never mind that, as I have explained infinitum, Islam is not a race, nor are all those who oppose Jihad terror white.

“Rod” has sneered at concerns over Jihadists stoning people and *even beheading them*, because they are not (in these isolated cases) using firearms. I have pointed out that Jihadists often use guns.

Of course, this is more of “Rod” presenting Jihadists as–at worst–naughty boys who don’t really cause any harm. This is *quite false*, as he well knows.

He will only get probation. But his major is Chem so watch the future.

Nice to see, but nothing will come of it. Charges will be dismissed or not guilty verdict returned.
Black Sabbath says
Moslems seems to be throwing rocks everywhere, not just in India over their fake “feelings hurt” hogwash. Even in Urbana-Champaign moslems are throwing rocks.
gravenimage says
I doubt it’s even that easy to find rocks in some of these places–like on this campus, probably. But stoning is sacralized in Islam, so finding rocks to throw at their victims is a high priority.
esther says
the answer to rock throwing muzzies is OBVIOUS—–return throwing. There are specific areas
of the head upon which a well aimed rock can be lethal——of course such areas should be
avoided for the sake of HUMANITY

University of Illinois: Muslim student facing hate-crime charges over rock thrown at Jewish students
…………
At least he’s being charged–a rarity these days.
Rod says
Oh my god! A man threw a rock in Illinois. How lucky we are to have Mr Spencer to bring these outrages to our notice.
Something he may have missed which we should know – there are about 50,000 gun retailers in the USA. Perhaps Mr Spencer can inspire us to more contempt for Muslims by finding out how many there are in those pestholes of violence, Indonesia, Pakistan, Bangla Desh.
wpm says
Rod if someone threw a rock at you at a public place(in a American city))where you work or went to school because only because you where a Moslem I am sure you would be angry and want that person arrest. Yes there is alot of street violence in places like Indonesia, Pakistan, and “Bangla Dish? “with much higher rates of rape then America ,without the”50,000 gun retailers” that America has .If America is really a bad place how come many Moslem people from Indonesia ,Pakistan, and” Bangla Desh ?” want to move to here?
Rod says
Well, wpm, if someone of any religion fired a machine gun into a classroom and killed 19 small children, I am sure I would be angry. (Was there any comment on this site? You’re joking. Of course not.) But you and Mr Spencer reserve your outrage for somebody who threw a stone. No, I’m not joking. It really happened, and you are part of this nonsense.
Do you understand why thinking people believe you folk are just a little bit deranged? Someone threw a stone and a dozen of you are eager to register your anger, and debate the penalty appropriate for this trivial offence. Have you nothing better to do? Nothing? While horrors elsewhere, before your eyes, are barely imaginable.

Yes, “Rod” has said before that Anti-Jihadists are “deranged” for opposing the horrors of Jihad.
As for the Uvalde, Texas shooting, there is no indication that the shooter was religious at all, let alone that he murdered in the name of his faith (this is “Rod” implying that he was Christian, and that Christians are violent in the name of their faith as are Jihadists).
Then, he has many times claimed that all violence in America is “white supremacist”–even claiming that opposing Jihad terror, even when aimed at Black Africans and Egyptians, is somehow “white supremacist”.
This makes no sense re the shooting in Uvalde, either–the murderer was not white, let alone white supremacist, but instead a Hispanic, Salvador Ramos.
Then, his frequent claims that Jihadists do not use firearms is completely false. I have cited many cases, including the recent Jihad massacre of Christians at a Church in Nigeria, where at least 50 people were murdered by gunfire. Of course, he ignores these cases, and hopes that no Anti-Jihadists will notice them.

Well, now “Rod” is just spamming. Doesn’t he realize that he already posted this , above–oddly, in that case, in reply to poster Mount Zion, although it did not address anything in that comment?
But I’ve noticed this sort of thing before–when Anti-Jihadists counter his constant apologia for evil he’s apt to start losing it.
