Now THAT's a professor!

Student says he probably can't finish his thesis because ISIS is holding his family hostage. His professor sends a team of mercenaries to extract him. I can't see any American professors or universities doing this.

I love it when a plan comes together.

What an odd story.

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

Looks like there still is some Viking blood that flows in Scandinavia...

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

In the USA, college administrators would be terminating him for his racist, anti-Moslem actions, and at least some politicians (Democrats, of course) would be agitating for his prosecution.

The threat of danger prompted the professor to take matters into her own hands and contact the university’s then-security chief Per Gustafson.

“It was almost as if he'd been waiting for this kind of mission,” Turner told the university magazine. “Per Gustafson said that we had a transport and security deal which stretched over the whole world.”

Uh...that seems...interesting for a university to have.

Well, if you have students from and research teams going to all parts of the world it starts making some sense.

Their deals are probably with ISIS, Al-Qaeda, and the Taliban.

CIA and NSA etc have had their tentacles in the Ivy League schools for a long time.
