UC-Irvine Upholds, but Shortens, Suspension of Muslim Student Group

I do believe, having been a Multi-Cultural Liason for my public school district, that a better way to handle the situation would be for the Muslim students to take a course in the major religions of the Middle East that hold Jerusalem Holy, perhaps invite students of these other faiths to participate to make it a real cultural discussion in honor of one another’s faiths rather than in despisement of one another’s faith, be it a requirement to continue their attendance at the university, and give extra credit to those students of other faiths who participate voluntarily for the sake of greater understanding and appreciation and mutual respect. A prime objective of this course would be to establish rules of multi cultural behavior to allow for a more “Peaceable Kingdom” for humans of all faiths that would be established as campus “law” that no student or professor or anyone else on campus should be the victim of cultural harrassment. If they want to back to their own country and cut off the arms of their sisters for going out on their own, well there is nothing we can do about that, even after gaining an American education, no then we have done our best to teach more humanity than that, but not while we allow such base behavior on campus because these students were Muslim??? That is not a reason to behave as rowdy folk, which the college wouldn’t allow either, but call the police and have the students being rowdy be tanked overnight. So these Muslims were lucky to not be tanked overnight. We must NOT let students from other countries behave in ways which we would not accept from American students or students from other countries. It does not matter that it is resonant of their culture, it is against the law, the law of common decency, and the law of American behavior toward leaders of other countries to become behavioral hoodlems, that is not considered acceptable university behavior, and is a good enough reason to throw them out because showing no remorse, we can only expect it again from them. To under-react would be to tolerate this behavior and we cannot let a group represent our American position by their uncontrolled, despicable behavior when we are trying so very hard to develop positive and peaceful relations in this difficult part of the world. We cannot let our international relations be decided by a group of rowdy international students or those of another faith than the speaker. Do protest, but do it outside the building, if you chose to lower yourselves to such behavior. But do not come inside and protest the invited guest…did your parents teach you nothing of proper behavior and etiquette. You do not embarass your host country as that, go home and do it there, but not on your given honor as guests within OUR country. Do not do that here, that is not yours or even our choice to mistreat guests of America. We do not do that to you, so you do not have the right to do that to them. Got it?
