In a twisted version of "local boy makes good", a blogger from our very own blog service, bloghi, is quickly gaining notoriety across the internet. Lover of Angels, apparently known to some as Dr. Julio C. Pino of Kent State University has attracted the gaze of anti-terrorist activists. While LOA hasn't shown anything but reasonable deference in his comments on this blog, (much obliged, Dr.) he has definitely used his own blog, global-war, as a stump for pro-islamofascism. His anti-American writings have many readers incensed and determined to see him removed from his post as a professor at a public university in Ohio. For a look at the petition making its way around the country, click here.
As an Army wife myself, I admit to being particularly disturbed by LOA's calls for the death of American troops. In one post, he prays for a hurricane of fire "to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their infidel dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire"
His poetry includes descriptions of the sailors who were bombed on the USS Cole. "The heads, arms, legs and other limbs of the bodies of the infidels flew like dust particles into outer space."
And if that doesn't give enough cause for alarm, he republishes previously released terror manual excerpts in his post, "How can I train myself for Jihad?"

I signed before coming over. I found out about him over at Elmer's Brothers. Thank you for keeping us alert. Now that we have a tool which they cannot take away, we can communicate with one another without their bias telling us who is right and who is wrong. I thank God for this! Thank you, as well, for your sacrifices. I will pray for your husband, may God keep close to His heart and keep him from harm. ;)
