As many people question the constitutionality of some politicians’ suggestions that Muslims, regardless of nationality or citizenship status, should be nationally registered in the name of public safety, hundreds of people have signed a petition expressing support for the Muslim community at the University of Virginia.  Organized by two UVa faculty members, Frank Dukes and John Alexander, the petition started to circulate earlier this month. By the end of last week, nearly 1,000 people had signed it.
