I’d have thought UC Berkeley would have a satellite campus a bit further away. *shrug*

I was born and raised about 20 miles from Bezerkly. I spent a lot of time there in the early 1980’s. I was at the Cal-Stanford “tip-toe through the tuba’s” football game in 1982.

This is exactly how the EVIL muslims infested England. With culture centers and schools, now the country doesn’t know what to do with them only appease evil SOB’S! Our country is slowing falling into the same trap courtesy of the VOMIT demon possessed liberals.

Omar Nawaf, says the college will help Muslim assimilate in the US.

WHY are they here in the first place if they know nothing about our life and culture? Why would anyone settle in a place they know nothing about?

Will this new Muslim college be coed? That could be problematic as it would require separate entrances in all buildings for women, a religious police enforce to enforce hajab and extra dorm space for fathers and brothers who will need to escort the coeds whenever they go in public not to mention goat stables.

If I ever hire employees again (which depends on a return to a free market and responsible government spending), I’ll keep the name of that college in mind appropriately.
