No Dave calling Jammeh is neither profane nor an insult, but I will 
tell you what it could be though- It can be plain irresponsible, and 
depending on the circumstances even libelous.   One can understand to 
some degree that Jammeh is a public figure therefore susceptible to all 
kinds of vicious rumors.   Nevertheless,  Jammeh reserves all rights to 
initiate legal actions in the State of New York against St. John’s 
University.   If it could be proven that there is a history of 
malicious intent, and that G-L allows such false and reckless materials 
be published without regard as to whether it is true or false, then St. 
John’s University could be liable- N.Y. Times v Sullivan, 376 U.S. 254, 
84 S.Ct.710, 11 L.Ed.2d 686.

Again to echo Jabou, one simply has to observe some self-restraint and 
be more responsible on the assertions of facts which may humiliate, 
defame or hold anybody to obloquy.
