Chronology of Anti-Semitism at UC Irvine

In addition to inviting anti-Semitic speakers to campus, the Muslim Student Union (MSU), the Muslim student group at UC Irvine, also distributes radical and anti-Semitic literature through an affiliated publication, Al Kalima, UC Irvine's Muslim student paper. For example, one editorial published in June 2004 praised Hamas and justified its use of terror by arguing that it is directed against "the evils of Shaytan (Satan) and the enemies of Allah." It said that the "only solution to the Zionist situation is through military force, which is espoused by Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, and other Islamic resistance organizations."

 

Together with al-Talib, a sister publication of Muslim students at UCLA, Al Kalima also produces brochures that employ Islamist militant language. One of these, a colorful glossy leaflet that was handed out at this year's events, advocated jihad and martyrdom, explaining that "the individual or community that participates in jihad finds itself between two blissful outcomes, either victory and the establishment of justice, or the reward of martyrdom and Paradise."
