Supervising professor harasses Muslim student, utters death threats

We got this submitted a couple times!

This is FAR more than a microaggression: a Muslim grad student from Egypt was taunted, harassed, and verbally assaulted by his supervising professor for months last semester. The taunting was centred around his faith, making fun of the rules he followed as a Muslim person, and using homophobic insults because the student did not date. Finally, when he decided to switch supervisors, the professor in question uttered a death threat against him. The student moved back to Egypt almost right away afterwards, and says he still does not feel comfortable coming back. The professor is still employed at McGill. Islamophobia cannot be condoned at this school, especially by professors - but death threats are far more than that. They are illegal and utterly unacceptable, and this professor needs to not only be fired, but to face criminal charges for his threats.
