#1: how the F&&& can anyone write an article about Muslims at UCI without mentioning the burning of the so-called "Apartheid Wall" the SAS set up a couple weeks ago? There is a major story here: the SAS/MSU probably torched their own wall to blame on the Jews and poison discourse on the campus. They want to create a climate of fear and hate at UCI. They refused to allow the "Anteaters For Israel" group to join in their anti-hate rally (because they aren't really anti-hate, they're anti-Jew).

#2: Indeed, an MSU member sent an e-mail to the MSU list concerning whether graduating students should wear sashes which say "shahada" (the Arabic word for suicide bomber).

Shahada is actually the Arabic word for "witness" (I think), and it means someone who has taken the vow to become a Muslim. Some Palestinian groups have used the word "Shahada" to describe suicide bombers, but that is not its primary meaning.

Shahada is actually the Arabic word for "witness" (I think), and it means someone who has taken the vow to become a Muslim.

"Shahada" is the term used for the public profession of faith made by Muslims. It's structure is actually rather similar to the Nicene Creed (although the content is MUCH different).
