Muslims condemn censorship of hadiths seeking dead Jews [Excerpts]

Muslim students on the campus of the University of Southern California have condemned a school decision to take down certain hadiths – or sayings of Muhammad – that called for dead Jews and had been posted on a student group's website.

"We are outraged at the censorship of a complete religious and classic text without consulting us or any religious authority first," the Muslim Student Union said in a prepared statement. "The 'compendium' is now incomplete. There are verses in many religious texts (be it the Torah or the New Testament) that when taken out of context can be taken as offensive."

The decision to order the hadiths taken down from a site run by the Muslim Student Association, a separate organization, was made by Provost C.L. Max Nikias, according to a report today in the student newspaper, the Daily Trojan.
