Zaytuna College in USA Today

Zaytuna College is featured in a story today in USA Today.

Abass Darab closes his eyes, unwraps the prayer beads from around his wrist and clutches them in his lap. A half-minute or so later, he opens his eyes. He is ready, he says, “to help people know what my school stands for.” ... Zaytuna is trying to participate in this bigger story, this bigger historical narrative of religious minorities having a place here, says Scott Korb, a New York-based religious studies and writing professor and author of Light Without Fire: The Making of America’s First Muslim College, which chronicles the schools first years.
