Muslims, Muslims, Muslims.

Representing 'Islam' becomes cause for contention when everyone has different ideas of what is Islamic or not, to the point where in my experience the Islamic Society (as we call them in Britain) becomes very very limited, to providing only jummah, iftar and tarawih during Ramadan, a couple of speaker events and the brothers' and sisters' halaqahs - and even then we have sparks flying every which way. Now of course not everybody wants to go to a halaqah, but Muslims do want to hang out with each other and providing Islamically acceptable social alternatives SHOULD be a responsibility of the MSA. It's not really the place of the student society to tell students how to practice, unless you have experienced, learned people in an advisory role - and even then, they should be there only for those who want to seek advice, not pushing it in everyone's face. Students telling other students what to do never goes down well.
