Evolution is a prominent component of biology education and remains controversial among college biology students in the United States who are mostly Christian, but science education researchers have not explored the attitudes of Muslim biology students in the United States. To explore perceptions of evolution among Muslim students in the United States, we surveyed 7,909 college students in 52 biology classes in 13 states about their acceptance of evolution, interest in evolution, and understanding of evolution. Muslim students in our sample, on average, did not agree with items that measured acceptance of macroevolution and human evolution. Further, on average, Muslim students agreed, but did not strongly agree with items measuring microevolution acceptance. Controlling for gender, major, race/ethnicity, and international status, we found that the evolution acceptance and interest levels of Muslim students were slightly higher than Protestant students and students who are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. However, Muslim student evolution acceptance levels were significantly lower than Catholic, Jewish, Buddhist, and Hindu students as well as students who did not identify with a religion (agnostic and atheists). Muslim student understanding of evolution was similar to students from other affiliations, but was lower than agnostic and atheist students. We also examined which variables are associated with Muslim student acceptance of evolution and found that higher understanding of evolution and lower religiosity are positive predictors of evolution acceptance among Muslim students, which is similar to the broader population of biology students. These data are the first to document that Muslim students have lower acceptance of evolution compared to students from other affiliations in undergraduate biology classrooms in the United States.

Eleven young men, eight of them members of the Muslim Student Association at the University of California, Irvine, and three from UC Riverside, as part of a planned stratagem, in turn stood up and heckled the Israeli Ambassador to the United States for about 5 min during his public presentation on the Irvine campus. They were ejected from the auditorium and punished by the University. Subsequently, the local district attorney filed misdemeanor charges against the group and won a conviction. The article provides details of the event, the varying reactions to the behavior and to the criminal case, and describes and analyzes a key state Supreme Court opinion considering the constitutionality of the statute employed against the students. Finally, recommendations are offered as a means to avoid what the writer regards as an unfortunate and perhaps biased official action against members of an ethnic minority.

<p>This article aims to describe Islamic religious thought of Muslim student at Khairun<br />University in Ternate and the dynamic of religious movement organizations on  campus. Informants of this study were selected using purposive method including activists of  Islamic organizations, students, and lecturers of the university. Data were collected using interviews, observation, and documentation, and searching data related to social context of the study from the internet. Findings of the research shows that the type of religious understanding and nationality of Muslim students after the reformation era at Khairun University began experiencing a shift since the presence of trans-national organizations, such as the Indonesian Muslim Student Action Union (KAMMI), Campus Propagation Institute (LDK), Hizbut Tahrir (HT), and Wahdah Islamiyah (WI). Those organizations adopt fundamentalists thought who want purification of Islam, and anti-tradition. Nationality thought adopted by these organizations is a country that imposes Islamic law and Establishes a state of Khilafah (HT). Nevertheless, most students at the Khairun University embrace cultural Islam, following the footsteps of their parents and Ternate society in general.</p>

New Formula

Muslim students are words that combine two identities, namely the seeker of knowledge and submission to Allah S.W.T. If these two elements are combined, then a Muslim student has no way for him except to make the Quran as a source of guidance. Surah al-Fatihah is a solution that can be the qibla of the formation of a Muslim student because without the application of this surah the knowledge required can be less blessed, worship will be lame, the formation of identity will not be balanced, communication between servants and creators will face deadlock. What is certain is that surah al-Fatihah is the determinant of the acceptance of prayer, the medium of communication between human beings and creators, all of which have a profound effect on the process of character formation of a student’s life. Surah al-Fatihah is placed at the earliest in the order of mushaf al-Quran as a guide in doing, thinking, acting and behaving in living life, especially in seeking knowledge. Surah al-Fatihah as part of the Quran is certainly not left behind in paying attention to the development of the character of a student’s thinking. This is reflected in the declaration of the reciter to be with Allah S.W.T, not asking except to the Almighty, not doing except under the presence of meetings with the ruler of the Day of Judgment, his days are filled with worship and prayer, always alert to the wrath of Allah S.W.T and the danger of misguided thoughts and understandings that are not in line with the Quran. This paper can to some extent give a new formula in our thoughts and actions through the study of surah al-Fatihah starting from the concept of maiatullah, seeking sustenance, doomsday, worship, and prayer.

Level Of Analysis

This chapter addresses the experience that Muslim students have of higher education in the UK. It is divided into three main sections, the first focusing on the individual level of analysis, the second and third on the collective. First, survey data is used to paint a picture of how Muslim students experience university and relate it to their identities as Muslims. Second, a theoretical framework for situating this experience within broader contexts is proposed, based around a three-fold distinction between governing discourses, contexts of teaching and learning, and the campus interaction order as stratified dimensions of university life. Third, this framework is built upon in introducing the six case studies from which our qualitative data is drawn. The four universities are described and compared, before the two Muslim colleges are also introduced.

International students are growing in numbers in Malaysian college and university campuses since the commercialization of education at the tertiary level introduced in the 1990s. More significantly, there is an increase in the Muslim student population as more and more young Muslims come to Malaysia from different parts of the world. For example, there is a substantial increase in Muslim students from the People’s Republic of China (PRC) who see Malaysia as a peaceful and developing Muslim country. The aim of this qualitative study is to explore the thoughts and experiences of Muslim students from China studying at different Malaysian universities. Six Muslim students from RPC were interviewed in this study, and based on the data obtained from the interviews, the findings were categorized into several themes. Most Muslim-Chinese students found it difficult to adjust to the new environment, especially in terms of climate, food, and infrastructure. The students also found that language was a barrier in their interactions with the locals. At the individual level, the students suffered from loneliness and homesickness and also found that their financial situation posed a challenge. In the course of the study, several coping strategies were identified that the students had adopted in their pursuit of knowledge in Malaysia. On the other hand, they felt supported in their efforts to adjust to living in Malaysia by university management, faculty members, local students, and friends. Overall, the students concluded that Malaysia is a peaceful and beautiful country characterized by the kindness, tolerance, and helpfulness of her people. Finally, the students recommended that services and facilities should be improved for all international students in Malaysia.

<span>This paper describes the Islamic practice of Indonesian Muslim student in the digital age. The object of study is Muslim students from three different campuses in Manado. Observations and interviews were conducted to obtain data. There are two important points as a result. First, the trend of the millennial generation in learning and gaining an understanding of Islam is more widely pursued independently through access to information technology. Secondly, the expression of the millennial generation's Islamicism which gained religious understanding with the instant process through the internet made this generation prone to ignore the objective, scientific, and argumentative facts in expressing understanding of Islam, so that their understanding and expression tended to be particular. The presence, convenience, and advancement of information technology have an effect on forming the patterns and religious expressions of the millennial generation.</span>
