Muslim Student Association and Their “Hadith of Hate”

Muslims and their apologists will tell you that they are victims of islamophobia. That the few who spew hatred are the rarity. Yet the proof to the contrary is pervasive wherever you find practitioners of the “faith”. The Muslim Student Association is not some obscure “extremist” group. They are on campuses throughout America. And the following “sacred hadith” published on their website is standard fare.

The hadith (sacred teaching) reads as follows:

“Abu Huraira reported Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him….”

As Muslim Student Association (MSA) chapters have become increasingly influential at universities and colleges around the country, critics have charged that it is a hate group that sympathizes with the international jihad and promulgates an anti-American and anti-Semitic ideology in its campus actions.

In response, the MSA has claimed that it is merely another religious and cultural group similar to Hillel, a club for Jewish students, or the Newman Club for Catholics. That deception has been now unmasked at the University of Southern California, where the school’s Provost, Chrysostomos L. Max Nikias, reacting to a call from the David Horowitz Freedom Center and the Simon Wiesenthal Center, has ordered the campus MSA to remove a “despicable” hadith calling for Muslims to murder Jews as a condition for redemption from its website.

David Horowitz, President of the Freedom Center, hails this as a breakthrough moment when the double standards that control the political and intellectual culture of most universities have finally been challenged. “Up to now, the slightest criticism of radical Islam on campus has been slammed as ‘Islamophobia,’ while Muslim groups and their radical fellow travelers have been allowed to say the most hateful things imaginable about Christians and Jews without any reaction from university administrators whatsoever,” Horowitz says. “Provost Nikias has called the hadith on the MSA website for what it is: despicable. Given the atmosphere that prevails on most campuses today, it was an act of integrity on his part to make this call and to demand that the MSA live up to basic standards of civility that should govern the university.”

I think hate speech laws are as reprehensible as Islam. Suppression of speech is vile no matter what group employs it. Though I commend USC for kicking at the foul nest of snakes in their midst, instead of demanding the removal of the “sacred hadith”, they ought to have publicized it, put a spotlight on it so that all can see what islam espouses. It’s removal only serves to give the MSA more cover, because it will not be removed as a tenet that they subscribe to. They will still utter it in their hearts. But to humiliate them with the reproach and disgust that would attend exposing them would serve to strip them of the credibility they so desperately seek in American society. That is how the KKK and other supremacist groups were made impotent. That is what needs to be done with islamists.

I am far past the time when I would look for “reasonable muslims”. If there were any, they themselves would have shut down groups like MSA. But they remain silent, and their silence condemns them. So be it.
