You know, like Hizballah. I mean you have got to be kidding. Now the MSU thugs are complaining about their suspension since disrupting events isn't the only thing they do. Oh, OK then.
Maybe they should have thought of that before they did what they did to deserve to be suspended.
UC Irvine's Muslim Student Union says suspension ignores group's religious and charitable activities
Members say political events are just a fraction of the organization's endeavors. The university says the group planned the disruption of the Israeli ambassador's speech, which the MSU denies.
Past and current members of UC Irvine's Muslim Student Union say a move to suspend the club for allegedly disrupting an Israeli official's speech is unduly harsh and overlooks the group's history of religious and charitable endeavors.
The Muslim Student Union, which has been on campus for 20 years, faces a yearlong suspension after the university concluded it planned repeated disruptions of a speech by Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren in February. The group denies organizing the protest and is appealing the recommended suspension.
Members of the group said political events such as this year's Israeli Apartheid Week, which has been labeled anti-Semitic by the Jewish Federation, the Zionist Organization of America and others, make up only a fraction of the group's activities.
"There were so many things that we tried to do as an organization," said Omar Zarka, who was president from 2007 to 2009. "It's really sad that it would get sidelined by something like this."...
I guess you should have thought of that...etc... Therein follows a litany of sob-stories concerning helpful work that will remain undone, all of which can be addressed in the same way.
So when are the individual punishments being distributed?
