Why is a Catholic Jesuit university in Missouri (and my alma mater) promoting "muslim art" via the terrorist connected Council of American Islamic Relations (CAIR)?
Saint Louis University is promoting the CAIR event. According to the student newspaper:
"Syed and Pakistani-American sisters, Sadia and Yusra Ali, organized and curated the event. Yusra Ali created the exhibit to increase representation for Muslims in the art world. She studies Islamic sciences at the Al salam Institute and Cambridge Islamic College in the United Kingdom, interns at CAIR-MO and aspires to be an art therapist and an author.
The event was empowering for Muslim women; this year, twice as many artists showcased their work, almost three dozen, 28 of whom are women. The show included furniture, homemade soap, jewelry, painting, printmaking and textiles, while voices performed live comedy, poetry, speeches and spoken word. It elevated families as well, providing a space for children and their parents, and making it accessible for artists who are also mothers. St. Louis Gyros provided white rice, halaam gyro meat, salad, hummus and chips. Prayer rugs were on the floor, allowing Maghrib, the sunset prayer, to be practiced as a community."

And typically this is in bed with the ACLU and, well, read the words of one of the organizers:
" you have Iranian art and mosques, African-Muslim art, Chinese Muslims practicing woodwork, and of course, here we have a distinct flavor of American- Muslim artwork that has value and insight into the Muslim-American experience. Microaggressions, social justice and God all blend into one cohesive narrative that the rest of America can really take a few lessons from,â€
End excerpt.
So we're supposed to take a lesson from about microaggressions, social justice, and all the rest of the crap that was invented in the ivory towers of Anglo academia and adopted by groups that are our enemies. The FBI has affirmed that CAIR is does in fact have ties to terrorist organizations and in fact the United Arab Emirites has listed them as a terrorist group. CAIR has been found guilty of funnelling funding to Hamas through the Holyland Foundation, money intended to wage war against Israel and innocent victims.
Why is SLU promoting a terrorist organization?
