“Police say Altamimi made a similar statement on Nov. 11, 2016, when he said he would bring a gun to the International Programs Office and shoot international students.”

Why was he still at the university after that?

“Online court records do not show any charges resulting from that incident.”

Why not?

Imagine if a non-Muslim student had twice made threats to shoot and kill other students. Do you think he would still be at the university? Do you think he would not have been charged?

This shows just how cowed and compromised our universities are. Clearly the University of Iowa thought stopping this savage would be islamofauxbic.

“University of Iowa student charged with threat of terrorism,” by Stephen Gruber-Miller, Press Citizen, May 1, 2017:

A University of Iowa student has been charged with threat of terrorism after police say he threatened to bring a gun to graduation.

Soliman Obaid B. Altamimi, 25, went to the university’s International Programs Office at the University Capitol Center around 11:30 a.m. on Friday and asked to make a speech at the graduation ceremony, according to UI police complaints. When staff told Altamimi he couldn’t give a speech, he replied that he “will bring a gun to the final ceremony.”

Altamimi admitted to officers that he made the statement, the complaints state.

Police say Altamimi made a similar statement on Nov. 11, 2016, when he said he would bring a gun to the International Programs Office and shoot international students.

Online court records do not show any charges resulting from that incident.

Regarding the November incident, UI officials said in an email that UI police received a report at the time from another student who shared concerns about Altamimi’s statements.

“Those concerns were taken seriously and UIPD followed up with Mr. Altamimi at that time,” university spokesperson Tricia Brown said in the email.

Sweeping changes to Iowa’s gun laws signed by Gov. Terry Branstad last month created confidentiality for firearms permit holders, making it impossible to verify whether Altamimi has a permit to own or carry a firearm.

UI officials described Altamimi as a non-degree seeking student in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. He is currently enrolled as a student, UI confirmed….

The deluded minds of these progressives are threatening the safety and security of law abiding citizens, and if something isn’t done soon to stop this madness, none of us will ever be safe again. Our entire country is being turned into a sanctuary for criminals whether they be Muslim or illegals.

Killer Muslim don’t get permits, kill this Muslim animal before he rapes a 5 year old girl or attempts to kill you. Assume he’s armed.

When threats like that are made just like what happened in Sioux Falls he makes himself a target. Take him out quick and fast and in secret and cover up all evidence….

I wonder how many students will express sympathy for him…no doubt many will blame this incident on “Islamophobia” or “racism” and try to defend him.

Political correctness prevents people from doing what needs to be done.
Political correctness scares people out of fear of being called “racists”.
Political correctness paralyzes our public officials.

Sweeping changes to Iowa’s gun laws signed by Gov. Terry Branstad last month created confidentiality for firearms permit holders, making it impossible to verify whether Altamimi has a permit to own or carry a firearm.
The changes only make it hard for the press and other citizens to verify if he has a permit to carry a firearm. Law enforcement can easily verify that. The law is simply a right to privacy issue. The authorities can look up a permit if necessary.

Even if authorities determine he has no permit to carry a weapon, that doesn’t mean that he is unarmed. Stolen and black market weapons are frequently used in crimes.

All states should be open carry. Then the government couldn’t stop law abiding citizens defending themselves because they aren’t on it’s hit list. Criminals don’t ordinarily register their guns so the list stops few, if any crimes.
From what I understand their weapon of choice is usually a blade, knives aren’t regulated…yet…

Americans are, for the most part, complacent concerning the Islamic Jihad imported by our corrupt government. Most Americans are also complacent concerning any plight of fellow Americans on any subject. Especially the woes of fellow caucasian Americans. They just couldn’t care less. The last few generations were indoctrinated to feel extreme hostility towards their patriotic, Christian, or white neighbor. The majority of citizens were forced to give way and give up many constitutional rights to blacks, illegals, sexual deviants (homosexuals) and muslims. Forced by Congress through unconstitutional laws giving preference to these groups at the expense of the rest.

Well that’s what Muhammad would have done, if there were guns back then and he wasn’t allowed to speak at the graduation ceremony, and he is the “perfect example”. So what do you expect of this guy? He is just following his religion.
