MSA is a place where Muslims as well as anyone interested in Islam can ask questions, share experiences, and form friendships in a safe, nonjudgmental environment.  Navigating college, especially when practicing a minority faith, can be a daunting experience where morals are constantly tested.  Support from like-minded peers gives a person the strength to stay true to themselves and provides a shoulder to lean on, MSA is here to be that for you.

Islam is a religion of peace, love, and an everlasting pursuit of knowledge.  In the spirit of learning, MSA is a space where secular as well as nonsecular conversations take place with Muslims and non-Muslims alike.  A diversity of opinions, cultural backgrounds, ethnicities, religions, and experiences is welcome with open arms into MSA.  Open dialogue cultivates community and deepens our appreciation for the human experience, reach out!

Historical Musings

Not many people think about the historical connection between Muslims, Spain, and Christopher Columbus and its possible influence on modern American thought and international relations. The author of the op-ed, a historian of the early modern Muslim world and the Ottoman Empire, gives us some enlightening information about Columbus. In addition, he argues that Columbus' thinking towards Muslims is similar to current international policies waged against Islam and Muslim nation-states. You can read the op-ed piece here.
