The President of Dalton State College has responded to accusations that an Associate Professor in its Sociology department runs a website which openly supports terrorism, conspiracy theories, and is antisemitic.
Jim Burran responded with the same form letter to two separate complaints about Dr. Hassan A. El-Najjar's open support for terrorists:
? Not totally unexpected, though. Can you imagine how a public university would have responded if a pro-Nazi would have been outted during WWII? You know, academic freedom trumps sympathy to the enemies of the United States.
But, Mr. Burran is wrong to say that Dalton State College is not helping Dr. El-Najjar. In fact, they are. By lending the name of the college to Dr. El-Najjar's pro-terrorism point of view, they legitimize it. They help Dr. El-Najjar raise funds from people who buy his books, donate to his "peace" organization, and who give credibility to his antisemitism, conspiracy theories, or support of terrorists.
For instance, Dr. El-Najjar's book is heavily advertised on his website. That book is reviewed by only two people, both of them employees of Dalton State College. And one of them, in his Amazon.com review of the book, makes special note: "James A. Stevenson, Ph.D. Dalton State College"
It's not only cowardly from college administrators to run away from the fact that they are employing supporters of terror while America is in a shooting war. It's also insincere to pretend as if employment at an institution of higher learning does not contribute the credibility of their claims.
In fact, the citizens of the state of Georgia are helping spread, although very indirectly, terrorism by lending Dr. Elnajjar the name of one of their colleges.
Would firing Dr. Elnajjar be a violation of academic freedom? Perhaps. But when we, as a nation, are asking our young men and women to give up their lives in war--the right to life, in my mind being the highest prinicple of all-- is it too much for us to ask for the principle of academic freedom to be make way for the higher principle? That of protecting the lives of our soldiers abroad and of the targets of terrorism wherever they may be found.

Well, it's apparent that dear Jim does not or is not willing to understand what he is protecting. I hate to be a pissimist but wasn't there another prof from the same school who co-authored "objective" book with this low grade islamic propogandist? Hence it is possible to assume that Jim is part of their "club".
Proposed below are a few solutions:
a) Lawsuit. Could start with a threat to sue and then involve government prosecutors.
b) Documented "objectiveness" of the website presented to Homeland Security.
c) Local and national media exposure of the poison this "prof" is oozing into the minds of our youth.
P.S.: as they say in kamchatka... this professor probably has his "snout in feathers" meaning that he's probably involved into something more then just web propoganda. Question is how to catch him redhanded in a legit way of course.

Employing him, paying him money that goes to support his web site could be construed, in this day and time, as harboring/supporting terrorists, IMO. We are, after all, at war with TERRORISTS fer criminey sakes.

As a OIF veteran I have already contacted this coward jim. Sorry Rusty but I am not the typical nice republican who will not fight fire with fire. By being respectful is nice and all that, this asshole who I KNEW would defend this terrorist asshole is JUST as guilty as the camel fucker. I am harassing jimbo, I WILL find who his family is, get his home number, and make this assholes life a living hell. As far as the muslim goes, well if anyone in his family gets hurt then he brought it on himself. I risked my life too much for MY FUCKING COUNTRY to allow fucknuts like this to hide behind the bill of rights they spit on.
Oh BTW yes this is my REAL name, fuck you libs come after me since it gives me the excuse to defend myself (and we all know what that means)

It is ok that you may not like my ideas to handle these terrorist supporters with violence. I got no problem with you if you do not like my swearing. If you think that servicemembers are not violent and do not swear then I pity you.
Without violent people of me, our country would be ran over by violent people that WOULD KILL YOU! If you want to use violence against me in ANY way then EXPECT violence back and do not whine like a bitch.

well..... what can you add to that. Having been through Dalton and spent some time there, it's just too hard to believe that the communtiy would stand quietly by if they were aware any of this was going on. I wonder if there's a way to get the word out to the locals and the alumni. There are a great deal of fine people from Georgia who have put their brightest and their best into harms way, how would one go about putting some light on this subject. ( other than dropping from an Apache helicoptor with an M60 and a grenade launcher in your teeth) now barry, before you get your dog tags twisted too tight, you are an example of what some people here have been saying about there being a strong backlash against those who stab you in the back while you're serving your country claiming to support the troops but not the mission. That's going to get a lot of our guys killed. Why is so often the unfit are drawn towards teaching?

Barry, don't break the law, whatever you do. The left owns most courts, and most of the media as well. Winning is a good thing, but not giving the enemy any free propaganda is good too. Otherwise, knock yourself out! Make him a wiser man. USA, all the way!

wb makes a good point that I hope Barry takes to heart. If you want to put pressure on 'Jim', do it by rallying your neighbors who feel as you do, and will be very vocal about it. get some vets and thier families, and stand on the suckers lawn till he calls the cops, then just fall back to the sidewalk. You can show pics of the terrorist teacher to the cops and tell them why your mad, and maybe they will join your picket when they are of duty. You can screw with him without commiting a crime. Like I said, no free propaganda for the enemy. USA, all the way!

Well my advice is still valid for people who want to make a noise with the University in question. If Code pink can get away with demonstrating at someones house, you can too. Just stay legal, and clean up after yourselves. Your the good guys, remember that!
USA, all the way!

#9 Nice find. If this is the same person then it makes sense about his statements. A good coverup for supporting this professor. Lie to the infidels in his statements while slandering our service men. Someone on here is helping him with the VA and I don't remember who. I certainly would proceed with caution if this muslim is the same Barry Baker.

Ohhhhhhh you just have been owned.
Just becuase I think that those who wish to commit violence against us should be dealt with violently and the exact same way as they do to us doesn't mean I am some sockpuppet.
Tell me moron, why do you think that those people who would kill you should be protected?
Carry on fucktards

So you are just an idiot then? I offended you, Well, my work here is done. Note that the "other guy" served too on his webste. Serving doesn't excuse you. You are an embarrasment to me as a citizen and to the honorable men and women who do serve. Like, we need your, "help." Dipshit. .

Hey Barry!? Did you actually read my comment on #10? If so, I can't see it in any of your comments since then. I did not make my remark personal, and I left open the possibility that you might be a 'sock puppet' because we have been getting a lot of that lately. Go read #10 again, and tell me your personally insulted! And yeah, against a lot of friendly advice, I do use my real name here.
USA, all the way!

Barry, no I don't use my real name and plan to keep it that way. I know alot of veterans and they don't share your viewpoint such as ripping muslim fetuses out of their mothers womb. If you are who you say you are you should see a mental health professional. Take it for what it is worth.

Some really nice people there in Dalton, there's the black hills, the Dalton house with a great catfish lunch buffet. Just sit down and they start serving, good sweet tea too. All within easy access to the Great Smokey Mountians and the Blue Ridge Parkway. I can't imagine they would put up with a pro terrorist teacher like they do at Kent. The more sunlight on this the better. I may just have to fire up the old Maverick.....
