The provost of Seattle University snatched a Palestinian flag from a graduating Muslim student just as she was about to unfold it at her commencement ceremony.
Shane Martin suddenly grabbed the tricolor from Sumeyya Osman at last month’s ceremony, video shared by CAIR Washington shows – and she later claimed he was being aggressive.
Martin grabbed the flag trying to hide it out of shot before the pair wrestled over it and posed for a picture.
Then the provost held onto the student’s arm as he ushered her off the stage.
Osman then brandished the flag as she made her way off the stage.
The student said she thought Martin was going to shake her hand before their interaction. Muslim women tend not to shake hands with men outside of their family as part of their religion, KUOW reported.
“I told him that I don’t shake hands, obviously because he’s a man and I’m a Muslim,” she said at a press conference held by CAIR Washington days later.
“But then he just proceeded to try and take the flag away from me aggressively.
“I was shaking a bit. “I asked the person next to me, ‘Do you think anything is going to happen to me? I’m afraid. What if the ceremony ends and they pull me to the side and something happens to me?’”
CAIR Washington – a non-profit that focuses on challenging Islamophobia – claimed the student was “physically accosted” by the provost.
“We demand accountability, no faculty should ever put their hands on a student. This behavior is unacceptable, Muslim students deserve safety to practice their religious and identity expressions,” the group said.

I’m so effing sick of these savages.
Kick them all out. Ban islam.
It’s not a religion.
L
Idiot students should not be admitted to universities. Send her back to the $#%^hole country she came from.
the racists will be upset with that since it would entail a student body that is entirely white and asian...
GREAT! Yank that MoFo.
YES
How about just removing her degree, 0 credit, zip, nada, follow proper decorum of be rejected.
Not that hard.
Islam proxy CAIR - Collective Against Individual Rights is a terrorist organization.
Is she an American citizen?
If not, deport her.
Perfect example why EVERY fed dollar needs to be taken away from universities. We are seeing the beginning of an attempted revolution by a goat-humping cult the last number of years and it’s only going to get worse.
It is here to conquer not assimilate. The sooner ABC can acknowledge that, the sooner we start correcting the mistake of allowing Islam.
I use to wonder why God allows a religion that does evil in His name to exist for as long as it has . Then I had an epiphany. It is because Islam is so awful that Europe looked for ways of getting around its s*hole countries. That resulted in the discovery of the New World and eventually the United States. Islam is allowed to exist because it forces the rest of Civilization to find ways to flee from it. God, as usual, turns evil into good
It’s not just universities and muslims. Went to my grandson’s 8th grade graduation. Quite a few kids walking the stage with obvious Mexico scarves around their necks and hanging down. Mexico colors, etc. Shouldn’t have been allowed imo.
Every Muslim, out NOW!
The guy had b*lls.
As for Islam, it is cancer. Excise it or due.
Flush it. Toss it. Burn it.
In this day and age where Orwell would have agreed, it takes balls for an academic, Provost to yank that PLO flag away.
He risks being tried and ostracized by the Islamic Brotherhood clans in academia.
Good for him and maybe this will start a trend of stopping terrorists from unfurling their banners of hate.
BTW, this is the flag of the PLO, not a future terror state called Palestine.
These folks should be called, “PALEOstinians”.
It will require force. America is still in the denial phase so this will be a long, violent slogan. See Israel for a clue.
Slog not “slogan”.
islam = communism + worshipping satan (aka “allah”)
