A California school co-founded by a firebrand who once called for an "intifada" in the U.S. has become the nation's first accredited Muslim college.
Zaytuna College, which operates out of two rented buildings in Berkeley, Calif., and had an enrollment of 30 in 2013, was officially accredited earlier this week by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges—one of the six academic organizations responsible for authorizing public and private colleges and universities in the United States. The certification means the school can apply for various federal and private grants, issue visas to international students and allow students to transfer credits to or from other accredited schools.
“Five years ago, we introduced an undergraduate liberal arts program inspired by the idea of restoring the holistic education that had been offered in the great teaching centers of Islamic civilization,” co-founder and President Hamza Yusuf stated in an open letter on the school’s website on Monday. “Today, Zaytuna’s accreditation roots this vision in a reality recognized within American higher education. It gives our community its first accredited academic address in the United States. And we hope, God willing, that there will be more such Muslim colleges and universities to come.”
The school offers one Bachelor of Arts, in Islamic Law and Theology. Course offerings include various courses on Islamic law, Introduction to the Koran, Ethics, Mathematics and History of the United States.

If they can expedite student visas, I predict a surge in enrollment and financial success.

In no time this school that had a couple of rented rooms for thirty students just two years ago will have a huge campus with thousands, all with VISA’s from the ME.
The Western Association of Schools, and Colleges just lifted the edge of the tent, and ushered under it the Camel’s nose.
Funded by Taxpayers or Saudi’s?

Yet the extreme left demands that Gordon College approve of gay marriage or lose accreditation.

“Funded by Taxpayers or Saudi’s?”
