The Middle East Media Institute, a watchdog group based in Washington, D.C., recently
shared a video It includes excerpts from a pair of sermons by Nader Taha, a radical mathematics lecturer at Kent State University, one reportedly recorded on November 10, 2023, and the other recorded last month. It is being

“References to the October 2023 massacre are abhorrent and stand in stark contrast to our country's institutional commitment to peaceful dialogue.”
In a second sermon purportedly recorded on December 13, 2024, Taha said, “To be honest with you, Gaza, they are at the heart of not only the Islamic world, but the whole world.

Blaze News contacted the university about Taha's status as a lecturer, but did not immediately receive a response. Taha similarly did not immediately respond for comment.
