12:26 AM

Peoria, Illinois (News CAIRO) - Bradley University have established a new kosher food service to meet the food needs of Muslim students.

Bradley University Party said that they believed to be the first University in Illinois that provide a similar service.

The students can get sandwiches and pizza that meets the guidelines of Islamic rule, and the service will soon be expanded, include additional options such as bread, sausage and chicken meatball.

Recently, an estimated 40 students have benefited from these services.

Propose a kosher food service in the University of Bradley has become a top priority among the student leaders for some time.

"No matter where the background of Muslim students are from, they will feel so comfortable being here and so appreciate this service, because they grew up with a way to eat kosher," said Bilaluddin Mohammed, president of the Association of Muslim Students at Bradley University.

Mohammed last summer to meet with the Executive Director of University Food Services, Ron Gibson to start work on the service.

Gibson has spent the entire time in his career to accommodate the culinary needs of the multicultural university campuses.

According to Bradley, brought the leadership of Gibson, the school's offer has expanded dramatically this year, including a successful kosher service was launched in August.

"We realized there was a diverse group on college campuses across the country, thus helping the process of recruiting new students, we want to offer foods that are more familiar to groups of young adults," said Gibson.

Bradley is an intermediate institution enrolling approximately 5,000 undergraduate students and 750 graduate students in a campus area of 85 hectares.

More than 100 courses offered, including leberal arts and sciences, business, communications, education, engineering, fine arts and performing arts, and health sciences.

Bradley University is not the only University in the United States that serves kosher food service in the campus environment. California's Stanford University campus also provides the same services since two years ago.

"Muslims are very much food is available in several places on campus," said Shahryar Khan, a devout Muslim who is also a computer studies student, told IslamOnline.net news agency.

Khan also said that the variation of kosher food on campus is good enough and the price per meal around 10 dollars, affordable for many students.

"The problem is the only food we had was not immediately available. Halal food can be provided only upon request. But this is not a big problem. This is probably caused by a number of Muslim students is relatively small," Khan explains.

For Muhammad Baqir, a student at Harvard University in Massachusetts, the number of Muslim students has stimulated a lot of kosher food presence on campus.

"The support from wealthy Arab countries have expanded the way to get a wide variety of halal food with prices cheaper in general campus halls them."

Not only kosher, Baqir said that one can find almost every type of food such as kebabs east goats, chickens baryani, and falafel sandwiches on campus booths.

UK Researcher: Educated White Women Tend to Become Muslim

Educated white women are more likely to convert to Islam compared with other groups, said a researcher at Swansea.

Kevin Brice said there were about 60 versus 40 which support women to Islam, and they tend to have the "profile better education" than the population average.

Brice, from Swansea University, said every white woman who converted to Islam has a different story, but have one common theme is the perception that Islam offers the protection of women and provide a sense of identity. He said this may sound counter-intuitive to the public.

"Through a simple dress, including garments with veiled, no longer about how you see it," said Price, a former researcher at the research center for migration policy. "It is now free from a view that you determined by your dress size.

"We also noted that women who converted to Islam more likely to wear the hijab compared with people who are born Muslims from the Islamic family.

"But by adopting this dress, they attract attention. There is a strange irony. When you talk with these new Muslims who they say that what they experience, or feel what they do, quite high levels of discrimination against them."

By using data from the census of 2001, Brice estimates there are about 1,500 white Muslims in Wales.

"Based on our research, in the last 10 years this figure increased more than double," he said.

He stressed this may not be exact figures. Part of the reason, he says, is a convert to Islam in the region pinggrian - may suffer from a syndrome "I am the only Muslim in the village" - which is difficult to measure.

Brice menmbahkan number who converted to Islam has increased because of media coverage - which is often negative tone towards Islam. The people finally heard about Islam, wanted to find out more, and become interested to enter into it.

"There is anecdotal evidence that after 2001 (World Trade Center attacks) and 7 bombings, there are an increasing number of people who converted to Islam," he said.

Brice added that women tend to show more religious affiliation than men.

England and Wales Muslim population has increased from just over 1.5 million in 2001 to 2.5 million now, he said, with a higher birth rate and immigration as a key factor.

Specify the amount you convert to Christianity among Muslims is rather difficult. "It's a bit taboo, but the area that deserves to be seen," he said.
