Rutgers University professor sparks outrage after saying U.S. is 'MORE brutal' than ISIS... and it's not her first bizarre rant Read more.
A Rutgers University professor has sparked outrage after declaring that the United States is 'more brutal' than the Islamic State because its invasions of the Middle East have killed 1.3million people.
In a Twitter post, Deepa Kumar, associate professor of journalism and media studies, wrote: 'Yes ISIS is brutal, but US is more so, 1.3 million killed in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan #NoToWar.'
ISIS, which has massacred thousands of people worldwide, regularly posts videos online of its militants sadistically rounding up terrified victims and carrying out mass beheadings or shootings.
Meanwhile, the deaths resulting from U.S.-led invasions were civilian casualties. There is also debate over whether the reported civilian death toll - based on a study of 1,499 Iraqis - is accurate.
Kumar's tweet, which was posted on March 26 and highlighted this week by SoCawlege.com, has angered terrorism experts and the public alike, with some deeming her comments 'ludicrous'.
'I feel bad for Deepa Kumar's students at Rutgers… Only a complete ideologue could claim the United States is more brutal than Islamic State,' Max Abrahms, professor of political science at Northeastern University who specializes in the study of terrorism, told Fox News on Friday.
'Our government isn't in the habit of rounding up thousands of young girls to have them raped dozens of times… or throwing homosexuals off rooftops,' he added, referring to recent videos released by ISIS, which include crowds gathering around to watch gay men hurled off buildings.
