Campus Shari'a Watch Update

Katherine Kersten takes a closer look at Muslim Student Groups-

The Muslim Students Association of the U.S. and Canada is heavily involved in the Canadian Federation of Students’ new report and lobbying. Its president is a member of the task force, and has been a spokesman for its recommendations. The association is the organization that Minneapolis Community and Technical College has looked to for guidance on the ritual washing issue.

Its main goal, it says, is “Dawah”: spreading Islam.

The Muslim Student Association of the U.S. and Canada clearly states the MSA's goal is not integration, their goal is not multi-culturalism, but their goal is spreading their religion and now they want to use Minnesota tax dollars to do it.

Noam Sayin' Open Letter Watch: 3

At littlegreenfootballs on Wednesday, two articles may have caught the eyes of Minnesota Lizards. The first, a story on Minnesota Congressman Keith Ellison promoting dialog with CAIR (Council on American Islamic Relations). The second, an in depth look at the kinds of associations CAIR has made in the past.

Thursday night, Minnesota LGF commenter Noam Sayin' posted yet another open letter to the Star Tribune at powerline in which he nicely summarizes the two articles, and in so doing, creates a valid argument for a journalistic investigation by the Star Tribune of this organization and it's ties to Congressman Ellison-

The reason I come to suggest that you do reportage on this relationship – other than the fact that you haven’t reported one word about it – is because I just read a couple articles which discuss this incident and others going back nearly a decade. Clearly, the Case of the Flying Imams is not an isolated incident, and neither is CAIR’s involvement in what has also become commonly known as grievance theater. Mr. Ellison has also involved his self in the incident shortly after CAIR.

It isn't an isolated incident, and the people of Minnesota would be well served by our local media to learn the history of CAIR's associations, and to learn of this organization's ability to have the ear of one of our state's Representatives. I don't think the Star Tribune will take Noam Sayin' up on his suggestion, at least not yet, but he should continue to advance his points on them as a chronicle of media bliss through ignorance. It may be easier to count Noam's letters than to count the days the Star Tribune ignores them. Thus, our title was born.

Minnesota 1, Shari'a 0

No Shari'a at the airport

"That is against our faith and we will wait until that moment and continue working until we are pulled out of line," said Dolal, a Kenyan emigre. "This is a country of laws, not a country of men. They passed an ordinance that we feel is unfair and if we have to go to the state Supreme Court, we will."

So marks the begining of Round 2.

Campus Shari'a Watch

Some highlights from Katherine Kersten:

Cultural clashes involving Islam have recently made headlines in Minnesota. At the airport, some Muslim taxi drivers refuse to transport passengers carrying alcohol; at Target stores, some Muslim cashiers won’t scan pork products. Now there’s a new point of friction: Minneapolis Community and Technical College.

Its officials say the college, a public institution, has a strict policy of not promoting religion or favoring one religion over another. “The Constitution prevents us from doing this in any form,” says Dianna Cusick, director of legal affairs.

They appear to take a very different attitude toward Islam. Welcome and accommodation are the order of the day for the college’s more than 500 Muslim students. The college has worked with local Muslim leaders to ensure that these students’ prayer needs and concerns are adequately addressed, Davis told me.

Some local Muslim leaders have advised the college staff that washing is not a required practice for students under the circumstances, according to Davis. Nevertheless, he says, he wants to facilitate it for interested students. “It’s like when someone comes to your home, you want to be hospitable,” Davis told me. “We have new members in our community coming here; we want to be hospitable.”

So the college is making plans to use taxpayer funds to install facilities for ritual foot-washing. Staff members are researching options, and a school official will visit a community college in Illinois to view such facilities while attending a conference nearby. College facilities staff members are expected to present a proposal this spring.

Your Minnesota tax dollar at work- building special facilities for a select group based on their religion, the false flag being their immigration tie in. If these immigrant students were not muslim, they wouldn't need to wash their feet in the first place. In fact, their own local leaders say they don't need to wash their feet, and yet simultaneously seem to be all over the case.

Since the islamic community seems to be involved both inside and outside the school, might I suggest the plan for the foot baths be privately funded with donations and fund raisers. Otherwise MCTC will be using public money to fund Shari'a.

Building Bridges with the Muslim Community

Quote: "There are a lot of misconceptions about Muslims and Islam. This is our way of inviting people to come and find for themselves what we're all about," said Mohamed Alfath, co-president of the Muslim Youth of Minnesota.

I would love for everyone to know what they are all about.
