Zaytuna will start in rented space in Berkeley and will seek accreditation from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. All faiths will be welcome, academic freedom will be protected, and there will be no separation of men and women, Bazian said.

They [Americans] were ungrateful for the bounties of Allah, and so Allah caused them to taste fear and hunger. That is one reason and, I would say, that this country is facing a very terrible fate. The reason for that is that this country stands condemned. It stands condemned like Europe stood condemned for what it did. . . . This country [America] unfortunately has a great, a great tribulation coming to it. And much of it is already here, yet people are too to illiterate to read the writing on the wall.

Thank you, working4change. Where else but Berkeley? Why did I even ask? There is no indication of where the funding will come from? Certainly the Saudis could build and staff entire universities from the ground up anywhere they wanted I have always wondered why wealthy Muslims do not fund universities and hospitals in their home countries instead of remaining obsessed with studying and being treated medically in Gt. Britain and the United States.

Screw you anti Islamic xenophobes

See what happens when someone doesn't agree with Islam? Whatever you do, don't have a negative opinion of Islam or you'll get called bad names - like (gasp) xenophobe (shudder)



Call me whatever you want. My opinion is MINE and last time I checked I could still express my opinion - legally.

Richard: That is not nice

People are just expressing concern that defines itself as an "Islamic College" Why an Islamic Colleg? Why not just a college? It is divisive. Not to mention that is seems to me that Muslims are very hostile to those who are not Muslim. That is really the problem. Muslims have a "take over" attitude and that works against them. And UK has bent over backwards to accomodate Muslims....Muslims are tearing them apart. If Muslims want to be accepted in mainstream society in non muslim countries then they will have to learn to not be so pushy and unaccepting of the beliefs of others. It is a two way street.

There are Lutheran, Catholic, Prsebyterian, Epicopalian and Jewish colleges there are even Buddhist colleges there should be Islamic colleges as well.

That is true, and I question why they all identify themselves according to religion. In any case, there is a difference. These other religions have been co-existing for quite some time and each stays out of each others space...pretty much.

However, Muslims demand that public schools and communities bow to their beliefs. It can never work that way. They have to accept the ways of others if they want their ways to be accepted. Otherwise they are a threat to the existing rhythm.

We have separation of church and state....and for good reason. Muslims better get used to that or find some place more conducive to their style. I can tell you right now that they cannot succeed in this country, or any other western style country, with the attitude they have.

In a Christian Nation there should be Christian colleges.
