TomTurn -> The Most Muslim University in America (6/5/2008 10:54:41 AM)
|
At the University of California, Irvine the Muslim Student Union (MSU), a virulently anti-Semitic and anti-American student group, holds several programs which unabashedly support terrorist groups and unjustly denounce Israel, America, and the Western world. MSU events have featured speakers like Norman Finkelstein, Ward Churchill, Muhammad al-Asi and Amir Abdel Malik Ali, and have had titles such as "Hamas: the People's Choice" and "Israel: The 4th Reich."
On May 12, 2008 the Muslim Student Union invited Muhammad al-Asi to speak on the main part of the campus in front of the flag poles. Al-Asi has spoken at UC Irvine before, and his speeches are usually riddled with stereotypical tirades on Jews and unrepentant affirmations of terrorist acts on American and Israel.
Out of all the MSU’s speakers, al-Asi has the most lurid personal history. A former Air Force Officer, al-Asi became radicalized by the 1979 Iranian Revolution, and is an avid admirer of the late Ayatollah Khomeini. In 1983, he was removed from his position at the Islamic Center in Washington D.C. for being too radical, and since then, he preaches his hateful message in front of the very same mosque to passers-by. Al-Asi also makes regular trips to Iran to meet hard-line officials, and as reported by the Washington Post, is under constant surveillance from the United State’s government.
Al-Asi’s hateful message was on full display during this year’s hate week. With a speech peppered with pro-terrorist and anti-Semitic overtones, he didn’t disappoint his keffiyah wearing devotees of the Muslim Student Union. In referring to the fate of the Israeli state, al-Asi boasted about the increasing endangerment of the concentrated Jewish population in the Middle East, and the pent up aggression of their Arab neighbors:.....
.....During the last day of events this quarter, on May 15th, a Jewish female’s civil rights were violated when she was threatened by members of the Muslim Student Union for videotaping Amir Abdel Malik-Ali’s evening lecture. According to a community member who witnessed the event, the female and her male companion were followed back to their car and surrounded by six male Muslim students. The witness then became a victim of intimidation when one of the students situated themselves on the hood of her car to photograph her vehicle identification (VIN) number. He then subsequently took photographs of her face and license plate. The UC Irvine Campus police officers on duty witnessed the entire event, but stood idly when the alleged crime occurred. When the community member called the watch commander later that night, he explained that the Muslim Student’s were just “getting back at the Jews.”
