My MSA has gone hard-left and I'm unsure of how to approach it.
u/Moslamach
As-salamu alaykum.
A year ago, the MSA at my local university was run by an ISIS sympathizer. Not even an exaggeration. He would watch graphic ISIS videos in the meeting room of the MSA, try to convince members of the validity of ISIS fatawa, and would leave no room for interpretation on any Islamic rulings whatsoever other than his own. He finally graduated, so the MSA elected a new leader, a Somali woman.
We've now traded a hard conservative for a hard leftist. In addition to just in general having no manners, she talks about sinning openly (won't go into detail) and gets into fierce arguments with anyone who calls her out on it. She has absolutely no Muslim identity save for her headdress, which isn't a hijab but an African head-tie. The final straw that is in the midst of breaking the camel's back (we're not even done with the first term, but we've already got to this point): She got invited to open for a feminist Muslim panel led by Amina Wadud. When I called her out on it, she doubled-down, talking about she was afraid of "fan-girling" out, and not even addressing when I brought up the fact that Wadud has called Ibrahim (AS) on multiple occassions a "dead-beat" dad and called Ibrahim's wife a "", an incredibly sexist and misogynistic term that you would think she would be incredibly offended by. After this discussion, she posted on FB using the official MSA page calling Wadud "brilliant" and arguing with other Muslims in the comment section who criticized the promotion of the event.
I'm at a crossroads here. I really don't know to approach this issue, if I should at all. Any help?”
