NY imam tells Columbia students how to ''take out'' pro-Israel professor
[NYPOST] An upstate imam urged student activists to ''take out'' an outspoken, pro-Israel Columbia University professor who's returning to the embattled Ivy this fall after a year of antisemitic hate.

Vassar-educated, Utica-based imam Tom Facchine made the plea about business school professor Shai Davidai during an Aug. 20 webinar called ''Islamic Political Activism'' with various Columbia student groups which promoted and broadcast it.

''That Shai Davidai guy: How do we get him in trouble? How do we create a situation in which he's in jeopardy?'' Facchine, 35, asked. ''If you're able to take out somebody like that and make an example, that might shut up a hundred more.''

The Jersey-born Facchine left Christianity to become atheist, found Marx in college and converted to Islam in 2010.

Davidai alerted Columbia honchos about the imam's screed and the university launched a probe using outside security experts who concluded that the rhetoric ''did not create conditions that require enhanced security measures,'' according to an email from VP of public safety Gerald Lewis to Davidai and shared with The Post.
