Imam-led walkout over Jewish participant at CUNY interfaith event draws wide condemnation

JL;DR SUMMARY An interfaith event at City College of New York was controversially disrupted when a Muslim leader led a student walkout against the presence of a Hillel director, whom he referred to as a 'Zionist.'

But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
