University of California, Irvine, Bans Muslim Student Union
Great news, from Weasel Zippers:
IRVINE – Campus officials at UCI have banned the Muslim Student Union for one year and placed the organization on disciplinary probation for an additional year, according to a statement released by the Jewish Federation Monday morning.
Federation officials say they obtained documents from the university through the Freedom of Information Act, which show that the Muslim Student Union has been suspended on campus effective Sept. 1.
In what many say is an unprecedented act, the suspension is the result of a months-long internal review by the university following the arrest of 11 union students during Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren’s speech on campus. Oren was repeatedly interrupted by the union members.
The students have appealed the decision, according to Husam Ayloush, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
Their attorney, Reem Salahi, said based on her understanding of the university’s policies and procedures, what has been issued is not a “ban,” but only a recommendation.
“That said, I don’t agree with their actions at all,” she said. “This is nothing but collective punishment. All Muslim students on campus have been punished for the actions of a few."
So, if you ban the MSU, you've hurt all Muslims?
Where do they get the idea that the Muslim Student Union represents all Muslims?
Can you say "Ummah"?
In the context of Islam, the word ummah is used to mean the diaspora or "Community of the Believers" (ummat al-mu'minin), and thus the whole Muslim world.
