URGENT WARNING TO MUJAHIDEEN: AVOID JULIO PINO : Cleveland IMC (((i)))

URGENT WARNING TO MUJAHIDEEN: AVOID JULIO PINO

Assalamu aleikum.

Under the headline "KENT STATE PROF PROMOTES BIN LADEN VICTORY AGAINST U.S...." the Drudge Report has posted a link to an article, "Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard" by Mike Adams at http://www.townhall.com/columnists/MikeSAdams/2007/02/28/me_and_julio_down_by_the_schoolyard

The Adams article in turn links to and attacks as "terrorist" a website sponsored by Julio Pino, a professor at Kent State University in Ohio and a likely government informant. The website that Adams refers people to shows unbridled support for the 9/11 Mossad attack on the World Trade Center and attributes it to Usama bin Laden.

As anyone with an IQ measured in positive integers knows, there is no credible evidence that Usama bin Laden had anything to do with 9/11. Even the FBI (which, unlike "homeland security" or the US military abroad, is bound by anti-propaganda rules in the US) has refused to blame Usama bin Laden.

The Pino site also deploys an Islamophobic term "jihadi" that has been popularized among themselves by anti-Muslim extremists. This is probably to cue fellow Islamophobes that it is really a dajjal-approved website.

The photo shown on Pino's "jihadi" website does not match Pino's photo shown at the Kent State website:
This is the creature's true appearance:
http://dept.kent.edu/history/images/facultyphotos/pinobig.jpg

Curiously, no action has ever been taken against Pino by dajjal Bush's regime or by Kent State University.

Even an Islamophobic website (below) previously admitted last year that Pino's website is a government "sting" operation.

WARNING
Don't fall for Pino's trap. His url is not provided here, but if you simply must visit it to see for yourself, as always use proper anonymization techniques.

FBI Running muslim Sting Operation Through Kent State University Associate Professor Julio Assad Jibril Pino
http://asmalldoseofreality.bloghi.com/2006/04/09/fbi-running-muslim-sting-operation-through-kent-state-university-associate-professor-julio-assad-jibril-pino.html

As part of the Department of Homeland Secuity's errort to uncover terrorists and radical muslim sympathizers, the FBI has had Pino create and monitor a HATE website catering to muslim extremists. Much like the sting operations run to uncover and prosecute pedaphiles, Pino's website attracts and indentifies muslim extremists. Facing prosecution for his HATE activities, Pino was turned and is now being used against his own kind. All hits on his website are monitored by the FBI who refuse to identify exactly how many are investigated and to what extent. The FBI says that there have already been more than six successful prosecutions and that there are dozens of ongoing investigations as a result of this operation.

Here is the premise of the internet charade:

Lover of Angels's pic
# About: Behind this mask lies not a man but an idea. An idea is bullet-proof. Knight under the Prophet's Banner. Soldier under orders from the Sheik. Son of the Sword of Saladin.
# Interests: Join the Islamic resistance! We are bringing victory to the greatest nation ever raised for mankind. "Remember when you sought help of your Lord and He answered you, saying: I will help you with a thousand of the angels each behind the other in succession."

This is the man behind the charade:

Kent State University, Ohio: Julio César Pino of the history department published an ode to a Palestinian suicide bomber, lauding her courage and calling on Allah to "elevate your place in paradise."

Writes (2000): "I have just come across your book Family and Favela. I am a

Rio. I conducted fieldwork in Rio from 1997-8 (and continue to go down
periodically), and I did a good amount of my work in {the favelas}. I was thrilled
to find the history of Praia do Pinto, as I have only brief comments on the
history as told by current residents."
