Personally I'm glad they did not go through with this shameful bow to the religion of conquest.
YES! Good thing we are living in a nation where the majority of people believe in a religion that never tried to force religious beliefs down anyones throat with a sword.
Religious beliefs of others, are being forced on people who may not wish to hear them - where's the tolerance?
I do not wish to hear the crazy old man on the corner either. I can choose to get upset at his biblical pronouncements and prayer, or I can choose not to get upset. I choose not to get upset with him. We leave him water and sometimes a breakfast sammich once in a while.
The fact I do not wish to hear his apocalyptic rantings is not the point. I do not agree with him, but he is still a human being, who is sometimes thirsty and hungry. That is the lesson of tolerance.

It's the old man who needs to learn the lesson of tolerance, not his captive audience.
Not sure where thirst and hunger come into it - he should take a sandwich and drink with him, if it's a problem. 2 minute noodles is another option - food and drink at the same time.

It does not surprise me you missed the point. I choose not to be his captive audience. I am not going to teach the old man anything. I can only teach myself not to be more concerned about his words than my own actions.

Well, you did say he was crazy, so I guess we shouldn't compare someone with mental health issues, to the world's second largest religion..... or should we?

Why not? Is the man not a child of god? Is his belief less because of his illness?
Again you miss the point.
He yells with his bible in the air and he is harmless. His words are his poetry yelled at the top of his lungs. Religious street art. Call it what you will. I choose tolerance.

No, I don't believe he is a child of God. He's a child of his parents.
I guess you're saying call to prayer at universities is fine (regardless of whether you want to hear it or not), because someone with mental health issues, does it on a street corner.
A call to prayer once a week that lasts less than two minutes isn't divisive except for people who have no tolerance for other religions. And it's not the people calling for prayer that aren't showing tolerance in this case.
I don't know. A Moslem call for prayer coming out of a Christian chapel is divisive. Like you said Mohammed is not Jesus.

Tolerance is me putting up with your bs.
It isn't bringing your bs into my house.
Is it a Christian chapel or do they use it for all religious services there?
