Junior Matt Ingoglia, a Hatchet columnist, discusses a successful interfaith event that gives perspective to other debates.
For whatever reason, we seem to really love a good brouhaha. But as a recent event last week demonstrated, it doesn’t always have to be that way.
I’m referring to the eighth annual Interfaith Dinner that was held on Oct. 14. Planned entirely by the Muslim Students’ Association and the Jewish Student Association, the itinerary called for speeches, musical performances and multilingual prayer delivered by students from both groups. The tradition motivates the student organizations to collaborate as an expression of their desire for peace and understanding.
Hey Matt,
Well said. Excellent point. Thank you :)
Amen
Thank you very much for your compliment!

I would like to “respectfully” point out that racial discrimination, racial slurs and pretty much anything else having to do with being offensive based on one’s religion is forbidden by law and therefore accounts for the lack of blunt hatred you see on campus or elsewhere.
*In my above comment I wrote race and racial when I meant to write religious.
