by Sohaib Sultan On Thursday, March 24th, 2010 I endured an hour of distortion against one of the world’s great faiths—Islam. The Princeton Tory and Whig-Clio along with an outside organization by the name of CAMERA sponsored a lecture by Ms. Nonie Darwish entitled “Human, Women’s, and Minority Rights Under Islamic Law.” Darwish claimed that […]
by Aaron Smargon We are all familiar with the “Orange Bubble,” that intellectuality of political apathy that surrounds our campus and shields us from outside worries.
