Hopefully jihad won't be on the curricula.

Most likely not. Thoguh I'm sure it won't be told that way on FOX news when they get ahold of this story.

combine the soul-searching college student with this could yield some "interesting" results... conversion after conversion?

[Proculation]

they already have mosques and now they want Islamic schools ??? "How to be a good terrorist 101" ? "How to beat your woman 203 ?"

Well, to begin I have no idea where they get the "7 million Muslims in the US" quote, since most independent research still see it as maybe 3-4 million.

Anyway, I never heard of the organization, but as long as the funding does not come from questionable sources, like Saudi Arabia, I couldn't care less.

I thought the Florida Flight Training Center was the first accredited Islamic college in the USA.

Why does this need to be controversial? We've had Catholic schools on this continent for over a century. The United States has several Baptist colleges. Now it's a problem when a different religion wants its own schools? Horse hockey!
