I do solemnly swear or affirm that I will faithfully keep the existence of this club secret to the best of my ability and will preserve, protect, and defend its constitution and may I be hauled up before the dean if I do not remain forever true to this my solemn oath...
...standing up to denounce the prejudice and injustice we face. In my case, Islam is an enormous part of who I am, just as being French is. The two aren't in opposition or even mutually exclusive. Yet when you hear the debate in France today, you'd swear they must...
