coupled with others — led to his
resignation last week as treasur-

neighborly to Muslim and other
religious groups on campus:' he
said. "Not all Muslims are bad or
terrorists. There's even a Muslim
prayer room at the Knesset.
"But when it came down to it,
in practice, it was decided that it
wouldn't be a good idea. No invi-
tation was ever sent out — or
ever will be." ❑
