Muslim Student Association sponsors Islam Awareness Week
The Observer ^ | 3/28 | Courtney Becker

Posted on 03/29/2017 5:16:17 PM PDT by ErikJohnsky

The Muslim Student Association (MSA) kicked off Islam Awareness Week on Monday by handing out hijabs on Fieldhouse Mall and teaching people how to tie them.

Sara Abdel Rahim, a senior and the president of MSA, said community members were more engaged in the event this year after experiencing it in years past.

“I think people loved the event last year,” she said. “Everyone is coming up and saying, ‘Hey, I still have my scarf from last year, can I grab another one? Can you teach me how to tie it a different way?’ So kind of building a foundation for the past couple of years and then having people remember it and tell people about it — it’s been really great to have people come and say, ‘I remember this from last year, and I want to do it again.’”

The week — which is co-sponsored by other groups such as the Gender Relations Center, Notre Dame International and Multicultural Student Programs and Services — serves as an opportunity for non-Muslim students to learn more about Islamic culture, Abdel Rahim said.

this nation (and thus all schools by virtue of being in this nation) had Islam awareness week 16 years ago! It'll only be a matter of time before this school, like another "Catholic" school have a Muslim student president.

No need. We’re well aware of Islam.

Will we also learn all the benefits of female genital mutiliation? Which is better, a rusty knife or dirty razor blade?

Wife and I are laughing ourselves sick. The idea that anyone isn’t aware of Muslims is hilarious.

I’m perfectly aware of Islam. Enough to stay well away.

>handing out hijabs on Fieldhouse Mall

I wish they would try that here. We would take them all and then simultaneously spit on them, add bacon, koran page pieces with a hog foot to wrap it around.

Then toss it in the nearest trash can so we don’t get busted for littering.

I wonder what would happen if someone burned a hijab made from an American flag. Maybe we could get a snowflake from Berkeley to try it and report back.

Or their next of kin.

Believe me, on 9/11 I became aware of Islam, big time.

The SJW think it’s a fashion statement.

You know what they say about first impressions, right? I remember Islam:

I remember Nick Berg:

I remember Paul Johnson:

I remember Fallujah:

Shame that. I think true awareness of Islam would result in it's eradication.
