Subversion. “Jumanah and the MSA Strike Back!,” by Gabriella Hoffman at All-American Girl for the Restoration of Values, February 4 (thanks to David):
So, it’s two weeks till Islam Awareness Week here at UC-San Diego. And what do you know? Our pal Jumanah Albarhi (remember her endorsement of a Second Holocaust/Hamas?) and the beloved Muslim Students Association are at it again.
Watch the Horowitz v. Albarhi exchange that is inching close to 1.3 million views on YouTube if you haven’t already:
This is an email from the Provost of Sixth College regarding Islam Awareness Week:
Dear Sixers,
Some of you may already know that the Muslim Student Association at UC San Diego will be hosting its 11th annual Islam Awareness Week (IAW) during Week 7, February 14-18, 2011.
The Muslim Student Association is a campus organization that seeks to foster a sense of community for Muslim students, provide an outlet for personal development and social activism, and create an environment that promotes constructive and engaging dialogue between Muslims and non-Muslims through education.
Sadly, the post-9/11 era has been characterized by rampant bigotry and racism against Islam and Muslim-Americans. IAW creates a space for much-needed discussion of the issues that Muslim-Americans face on a daily basis. It also functions as a platform in which Muslim students can help educate fellow students and community members about Islam and its true teachings.
The theme this year, Islam: Straight from the Source, will focus on providing our campus community with an accurate depiction of Islam and Muslims–a point of view that is often obscured by the current hostile political climate and biased media coverage.
I am happy to lend my endorsement to this important program, and encourage you to participate.
All best,
Your Provost,
Naomi Oreskes

Adjunct Professor of GeosciencesJumanah follows up with another e-mail about that week’s events. Feast your eye’s on an event with a CAIR representative (an alleged Hamas front group), “demystifying improperly quoted texts from the Quran” segment, and “Women in Islam” event. You should be weary where your tax-paying dollars are going to:
This year’s program is planned as follows: […]
-Dr. Jamal Badawi, Professor Emeritus at St. Mary’s College Halifax, Nova Scotia, will be conducting an evening lecture on commonly misquoted and misunderstood Quranic texts. […]
-Hussam Ayloush, Executive Director of the Greater Los Angeles Area’s Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) chapter will be conducting an evening session on Muslims in America.
Badawi was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation Hamas terror funding case, as was Hamas-linked CAIR. The Muslim Students Association was founded by the Muslim Brotherhood, a group dedicated in its own words to “eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within.”
There is much more. Read it all.
