Here is what a handful of random people think about this article. But first, the fine print:
The opinions expressed here, even where approved for display, do not necessarily reflect the opinions of this website, the management, or any other entity or organization, with the exception of the Vast Zionist Conspiracy. Those opinions we represent in style, yo. Please keep the language in these comments clean, as this is intended to be a family-friendly, work-friendly website. Comments not compliant with this policy will be edited for content where necessary. Abusive or otherwise illegal comments will be reported to the proper authorities, up to and including the aforementioned Vast Zionist Conspiracy. The Management cannot and will not be held responsible for commenters making a spectacle of themselves, even if The Management are the said commenters in question. In other words, don't take yourself so seriously, folks. We're all here to discuss the news, and more importantly, to have fun. Now go get yourself into some OCD treatment program—you obviously need it if you actually read all of this mess.

*hehehee.. I used your "Back to website" link. thanks.

I also just clicked on your link to find out the meaning. OMG.. That is in my home state. I knew of the controversy going around and how some collegiate student groups are ready to protest the reps who refused the quran.. but didn't think the Ethnic Organization was entirely MUSLIM!?!? OMG. Doesn't ethnic usually mean something close to "native"?? a native who is touch with their cultural heritage?

Guess I was wrong. It means Muslims who are trying to take over another country's culture and laws.

*I guess it means Muslims who happen to be American too, but are Muslim first. Kinda like "European-Muslims" and "American-Muslims" - it doesn't mean the same thing as "Muslim-European" and "Muslim-American".

Anyway, it looks like a double flim-flam. They're obfuscating the primacy of the Muslim identity, and trying to get a false status of "ethnicity" involved. Too bad for them neither "Muslim" nor "American" is an ethnicity. Well, I guess American is an ethnicity for Native Americans, but I'm guessing these folks aren't N.A., so it doesn't apply.
