on the Muslim graduation stoles

Date: June 28, 2004 | 10 Jumada al-Awwal 1425 Hijriah
Blog: veiled4allah
Subjects: islamophobia
There's been a fuss recently over some stoles that Muslim students at UC Irvine planned to wear at their graduation, which featured the Muslim testimony of faith (shahada) in Arabic and the Arabic for "God, increase my knowledge". Some other groups, whom I would prefer to leave nameless but they ought to know a lot better than that, claimed that the stoles represented support for terrorism. I was meaning to post about this issue eventually, but Zack Ajmal has done a much better job.

Laa ilaha ill'Allah, Muhammadan rasul Allah - There is no god but God and Muhammad is the Messenger of God. I guess I must now have a terrorist website for posting messages like that here. This kind of thing is simply ridiculous and people who sink to perpetuating these kind of smears and defamation ought to be ashamed of themselves. If this is the best they can do, maybe they ought to go on to something else instead of playing at inciting religious hatred.

Added: Tracked down an excellent linguistic analysis of the Muslim testimony of faith by Juan Cole. More than you ever wanted to know!
