Suit Challenges Prof's Radical Interpretation of Islam

This week, a Muslim student at Scottsdale, Arizona Community College filed a lawsuit against the college and a World Politics professor claiming that the faculty member's course contains a module on Islamic terrorism that is based on one-sided, biased perspectives of Islam. The complaint in Sabra v. Maricopa County Community College District, (D AZ, filed 6/2/2020) (full text of complaint and exhibits are at the end of this CAIR press release) alleges that the professor violates the Establishment Clause by teaching that Islam mandates terrorism without telling students that only some extremists believe this. It also claims that the professor violated the free exercise clause by requiring the student to agree to the professor's radical interpretation of Islam in answering a quiz. A law firm was commissioned to conduct an outside review of the College's response to complaints about the professor's actions. The full text of that report is at the end of this article from Fronteras.
