The Managing Editor of a University of Missouri Student Journal that Encourages Creativity…

isn’t quite so tolerant of new stuff when it comes to his womenfolk. Professor Youssif Omar’s niece, a fourteen year old student at a local high school, apparently decided to experiment with what life without the hijab would be like – I mean, this is America, you get to decide… Or can you decide if you’re fourteen?

Haha, I guess not, because when Uncle Youssif saw her unveiled at her school he grabbed her by the hair, dragged her to his car, and beat the crap out of her.

Among his skills on his Linked In page (a page that lists a staggering number of advanced degrees in a wide variety of fields), Omar features teamwork, and ain’t it the truth. When it comes to keeping the family “team” in working order, Omar goes above and beyond the call of duty. Risks arrest.

I mean, he has been arrested. For felony child abuse. Plenty of time to read through those creative writing entries when he’s in jail.

UPDATE: Missouri disavows any connection.

    Why did Mizzou recruit Mr. Wonderful? What’s special about this guy that he needed to be brought over pronto? Or was it a H-1B/L visa ‘specialization” that made him so appealing?

  2. Margaret Soltan Says:

    Well, if they believed his unbelievable Linked In page, he commands huge numbers of advanced degrees.

    Charlie, looks like those 437 advanced degrees of his got him out of Benghazi and soon into an American lock-up. Yeah, it looks like Hillary’s Benghazi, too. My brain isn’t functioning well enough for a wisecrack.

    I think I’ve somehow always secretly admired the self-promoters who really troweled the bullpuckey onto their resumes.
