Excerpt:
Ah, college. The memories! Sitting under a shady tree on the quad reading Twelfth Night. Studying in your dorm room for the big test while "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" plays on a stereo down the hall. Going to a Muslim Student Union event at which the guest lecturer urges you and your fellow students "not to be wimps but to be Mojahedeen" who "terrorize the Kaffars" and "look to die in the path of Allah."
A couple of days ago, Arnold Ahlert wrote here about "Islam Awareness Week 2013," coming up next week at the University of California, Irvine, thanks to that institution's Muslim Student Union. Now, while Irvine, a frequent site of high-profile pro-jihadist and anti-Semitic activity, has almost certainly earned the coveted title of America's MSU Mecca, its MSU is, in fact, as Ahlert quite properly points out, only one of 600 or so North American chapters of the Muslim Student Association, most of which are no pikers either, holding similar events year in and year out, if on a less headline-grabbing scale. Almost universally, these hundreds of MSUs are viewed by university administrators and other observers as harmless, wholesome, benign – no different from any other student group. Indeed, the fact that so many young Muslims in the West, some of them the children or grandchildren of illiterate peasants, are enrolled at universities is routinely held up by starry-eyed left-wing naifs as proof positive of the triumph of Islamic integration.
