College Republican Says He Got Violent Threats After He Asked Muslim Group to Condemn Terror Attacks

The president of a student Republican club at San Diego State University (SDSU) said he received anonymous threats of violence and calls for his resignation after he penned a letter asking for the school’s Muslim association to condemn the recent terror attack in Barcelona.

The Republican club’s president, Brandon Jones, posted the letter to Facebook on Aug. 17 addressed to the SDSU Muslim Student Association (MSA), calling for its leaders to condemn last week’s terror attack — or resign.

The letter — referred to as a “formal request” — calls for the MSA to abide by its mission statement, which the letter claims reads: “The Muslim Student Association is an organization dedicated to creating a sense of community and an inclusive environment for ALL students on campus…” . . .

Other groups on campus — the Young Democratic Socialists and Transfronterizo Alliance Student Organization, neither of which responded to requests for comment by Fox News — have taken to Facebook to condemn the letter by College Republicans.

The Young Democratic Socialists called Jones’ letter a “cruel and bigoted attack” against the MSA, and claimed the College Republicans group was “making Muslim students feel even more unsafe on their own campus” by suggesting MSA members “will be considered terrorist sympathizers unless they condemn an attack they had nothing to do with.” (Read more from “College Republican Says He Got Violent Threats After He Asked Muslim Group to Condemn Terror Attacks” HERE)
