A former professor at Columbia University who was fired after declaring support for Hamas<\/a>, Hezbollah and Islamic Jihad is set to speak Friday at a “Death to the Akademy” campus tour stop said to be held at Virginia Tech.<\/p>\n

“Inshallah this Friday May 1st we will have our next \u2018Death to the Akademy\u2019 campus tour stop at Virginia Tech graciously hosted by student & community organizers @blackmindedness @vt4palestine,” a Tuesday Instagram post<\/a> from Mohamed Abdou read.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Abdou included four other accounts in the post \u2014 “VT for Palestine,” “Black Mindedness,” Emon H. Green, and “Palestine Solidarity Working Group.”<\/p>\n

Abdou calls himself<\/u><\/a> a “Muslim anarchist and diasporic settler of color,” and is the author of “Islam and Anarchism<\/u><\/a>,” which is described as a “highly original and interdisciplinary work, which simultaneously disrupts two commonly held beliefs \u2014 that Islam is necessarily authoritarian and capitalist; and that anarchism is necessarily anti-religious and anti-spiritual.”<\/p>\n

Campus Watch reported<\/a> in 2024 that Abdou was fired after a public Facebook post following Oct. 7, 2023, when Hamas terrorists attacked Israel, killing approximately 1,200 people and taking hundreds of hostages.<\/p>\n

In the post, Abdou wrote, “I\u2019m with the muqawamah (the resistance) be it Hamas<\/a> and Hezbollah and Islamic Jihad but up to a point \u2014 given ultimate differences over our ethical political commitments; that\u2019s the difference between a strategy and tactic too.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

During a hearing before Congress<\/a> on April 17, 2024, former Columbia University president Minouche Shafik said<\/a> that Abdou “has been terminated, not just terminated, but his file will show that he will never work at Columbia again.”<\/p>\n

Abdou\u2019s Instagram post advertising the Friday “Death to the Akademy” event said, “The talk is titled \u2018Islam & Revolution\u2019 & will be followed by a facilitated discussion. For those who cannot join us in person for this event, we invite participants from across the globe to join us virtually. Shukran to the generous hosts. Register for the free event using the link in my bio or via the qr code on the poster.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

The post featured what appeared to be a jihadist leader wearing camouflage and a keffiyeh<\/a> as a mask covering his face, while holding a gun strapped to his back.\u00a0<\/p>\n

An army of what appear to be jihadists stands behind him, wearing keffiyehs around their necks.<\/p>\n

The Instagram post instructs attendees to “please wear masks!”\u00a0<\/p>\n

In a Monday post on X<\/a>, the account “Documenting Jew Hatred on Campus<\/a> at Columbia U,” voiced concern over the upcoming event, saying, “Mohamed Abdou is scheduled to speak at @virginia_tech on Friday. This is a continuation of his “Death to the Akademy” series. Expect more of the same \u2014 promotion of an Islamic takeover of the West and death to Zionists\/Jews.”<\/p>\n

The post added, “Expect Virginia Tech to claim no responsibility or connection with this event. While this may be true, the school can still identify which students are organizing this event and take the necessary steps to stop them from radicalizing the students of<\/a> Virginia Tech.”<\/p>\n

In a statement to Fox News Digital, Virginia Tech spokesperson Mark Owczarski said, “The event in question is not sponsored by a university-affiliated organization nor is it a university-registered event. Any claims otherwise are simply not true.”<\/p>\n

He added, “False claims of similar events held at other colleges and universities have occurred. Virginia Tech continues to monitor the situation.”<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital<\/a> reached out to Abdou for comment but did not immediately receive a response.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The New York Post reported<\/a> Saturday that Abdou held an April 21 “Death to the Akademy” event<\/a> near New York University. The school said in an April 23 statement<\/a> it had no affiliation with the event.<\/p>\n

“Be proud of your hate<\/a> for America,” Abdou said over Zoom during the event. “You love Islam, and you should be loving Islam more than this barbarous colony,” he said. “It\u2019s a plague upon the Earth. And yes, in that sense, you need to be a threat. We all need to be a threat.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
