That can only happen if MSA is dominated by the hardcore types...

The death of MSA happens when those 'liberal Muslims' take over...man, why must they infiltrate our ranks? Isn't the Indian or Pakistani club good enough for them?
Yeah I very much agree with this especially the bolded part. I think MSAs (or ISOCs as we call them in UK colleges) shouldn't compromise on the basics.

So if mini-skirt girl, and slot-machine girl, and weed-smoking boy, and the whole host of others, want to smoke their weed, play slot-machines and wear mini skirts then it's their right to do so, but that should stay out of the MSA. They should go to their Asian society, or Pakistani society, or Indian society which will accomodate that.

At the same time they can be part of the MSA, but when they come to the MSA they should respect that there is a different vibe going on in an Islamic environment. Wear your mini-skirts and smoke your weed, if you must, outside, but put that stuff away when you come to the MSA.
