What is your point?

The judge, Brnovich, found that CAIR and Sabra wrongly claimed the students were forced to adopt Phares's view of Islam. The assignment "merely asks students to identify the opinion of Walid Phares regarding Islam, not to adopt his position on Islam," the judge wrote.

So if a teacher asks students what is 2 + 2 and expects 5 for an answer, then that teacher "merely asks students to identify the opinion of the teacher regarding math, not to adopt his position on math"?

It's not math, and the teacher merely asked the students to acknowledge that there are different interpretations.

Nevertheless, SCC student Mohamed Sabra complained of three questions on Damask's exams.

The offending questions and answers were:

Q. Who do terrorists strive to emulate? A. Mohammed

Q. Where is terrorism encouraged in Islamic doctrine and law? A. The Medina verses [i.e., the portion of the Qur'an traditionally understood as having been revealed later in Muhammad's prophetic career]

Q. Terrorism is _______ in Islam. A. justified within the context of jihad.

All of these are simply factually false. These aren't just interpretations. This is much like the modern Left re-interpreting American history in a way that is clearly false.

factually false that some people interpret Islam differently?
