Terrorist Sympathizer Dumped From Ohio Homeland Security

Recently, terrorist sympathizer Abukar Arman was appointed to a panel that oversees Ohio Homeland Security. When details of his past and present came to light, he erupted into a full-scale temper tantrum. Finally, someone in the government has realized that his appointment may not have been the greatest of ideas.

So they tossed him.

Abukar Arman admits that it has been a tough few weeks following a FrontPage exposé last month that examined his extensive online writings in defense of terrorist organizations and individuals, all while he sat on the blue-ribbon Franklin County Criminal Justice Planning Board that oversees Central Ohio Homeland Security programs.

As a direct result of that report, Arman was forced to resign last Friday from the Planning Board after officials discovered that as a non-US citizen he wasn’t eligible to be on the board; and in a curiously-timed bureaucratic move, he also lost his Columbus Public Schools adult education job after they discovered that he hadn’t kept up his teaching credentials and the grant funding his position suddenly disappeared. A CPS spokesman said the move had absolutely nothing to do with the FrontPage report though these events occurred immediately after it was published, though Arman told a local paper that he believed the FrontPage story had everything to do with his present woes.

This is a victory for common sense. The wins are very few these days.
