A jihad-loving, ex-Columbia University professor is still poisoning young minds on an international college tour of hate.
“Islam and Anarchist” author Dr. Mohamed Abdou, who was booted from Columbia for backing Hamas after the Oct. 7, 2023 massacre, urged New York University students Tuesday to be “proud” to despise the United States.
“Be proud of your hate for America,” Abdou said over Zoom to a small group gathered in Washington Square Park at an event sponsored by the anti-Israeli activist group Shut it Down NYU.
“You love Islam, and you should be loving Islam more than this barbarous colony. It’s a plague upon the Earth. And yes, in that sense, you need to be a threat. We all need to be a threat.”
The talk is part of the self-described Muslim anarchist’s “Death to the Akademy” tour — which launched last month and encourages students across the globe to reject Western ideology for anarchy and engage in violent protests.
“If you think somehow you’re going to free Palestine and keep America, forget it,” Abdou said. “You need to actively work to destroy.”
During his two hour rant, titled “The Student Movement is Dead. What Now?” Abdou told the crowd, which also included about 30 virtual attendees, there is a lot to learn from the Oct. 7 massacre and encouraged martyrdom.
“If we are to meet Muhammad, then our blood serves as a testimony,” he said. “We do not fear death.”
He hailed the Mujahideen — Islamic guerilla fighters who engage in jihad — the “great people on Earth.”
And he expressed his hatred for Israel — which he said “inshallah, will not see its 8th decade.”
Promotional posters on social media featured an inverted red triangle — a symbol representing the Palestinian resistance movement — and a sketch of gun-wielding Hamas terrorists. A registration form for the Shut it Down event described the talk as “free,” but requested donations to pay Abdou.
Abdou, an Egypt-born Canadian citizen, was a visiting professor at Columbia when he declared on social media, “Yes, I’m with Hamas and Hezbollah and Islamic Jihad” after the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas terror attacks in Israel.
Then-Columbia President Minouche Shafik was forced to address his comments during a bombshell congressional hearing during which she said Abdou “will never work at Columbia again.”
Shut it Down NYU is not recognized by the university.
It is a group of students, faculty, staff, and organizers that demands NYU stop “cooperating” with the school’s Tel Aviv campus, according to its mission statement.
It’s a branch of the radical People’s Solidarity Coalition — a pro-Palestine activist group that once called for an “armed struggle” during 2024 protests on NYU’s campus, according to the school.
NYU said it’s investigating the event and are concerned about the violent sentiments shared with their students.
“The organizers simply lied about this being an NYU event. We didn’t sanction it. We didn’t allow them on campus. No university-affiliated group was involved,” Wiley Norvell, Senior Vice President for University Relations and Public Affairs, told The Post.
“Other universities should be on notice about these tactics to misappropriate their name. We strongly condemn the threatening language and imagery used in promoting the event, and the encouragement of violence expressed by speakers.”
The posh school has been a hotbed of pro-Palestine protests, with some 130 students arrested during encampments two years ago.
The school hired pro-Hamas Professor Eva Tuck just two days after Oct. 7.
And another woke professor, Dr. Linda Liu, canceled class last year just before finals to go protest Israel.
Other leftist organizations have welcomed Abdou to their campuses.
Students for a Liberated Palestine at Columbia-affiliated Union Theological Seminary and a group called Queer Muslims of NYC organized an iftar event at the Morningside Heights campus last month – but university officials shut it down, according to a social media post from the groups.
“This event was neither hosted nor sanctioned by Union,” a spokesperson told The Post.
President Serene Jones told organizers at the time she was “shocked and upset” by the posters promoting the iftar.
“Death, war, violence, killing — this is not what Union stands for,” she wrote.
Abdou’s alarming tour has also made stops at Ontario’s University of Windsor and the University of Glasgow in Scotland.
Glasgow officials reportedly tried disrupting the event — forcing students to move multiple times — but it was ultimately able to go on.
Officials from both Glasgow and Windsor said these events were unsanctioned and unaffiliated with the universities.
Shut it Down NYU and Abdou did not respond to requests for comment.
