When will you stop the political correctness? Don't you read what is happening worldwide? Have you read the Quran? Forgot 9/11 already??? Seriously those jihadits did that in the name of Allah and Muhammad because they were promised 72 virgins if they kill in the name of the pedophile!

Try doing any non-Muslim (infidel, a.k.a kuffar) prayers at a mosque, Islamic school or in Saudi Arabia... good luck keeping your head attached to your body!
This is about YOU and what you think about a religion YOU don't like.

Guess what, I don't like Islam either.

No one took control over an entire university campus. People speak in foreign languages on college campuses ALL the time. Duke isn't a Christian church. It's a college campus, that celebrates its own diversity. And it was planning on permitting some of its students to practice their religion in a very non-threatening way once a week in a call to prayer that lasts less than two minutes.

Why even allow it from the first place?!


Duke reverses decision to allow Muslim call to prayer - CNN.com
One of their big donors must have gotten wind of this and "made a phone call".

If you didn't like Islam you wouldn't be promoting and accepting it spreading slowly everywhere and in our face and shoveled down in our throats.

That's how it starts - slowly spreading like rats until they grow larger and take over the entire place by force after being accepted. Look how they started and created a big mess in Europe... soon it will come to America already (indeed already did in Dearborn, Michigan).

If you give them that, they will demand more and more. Soon they will demand banning pork, alcohol, and music because it is considered "Haram" in Islam (Forbidden). Then other religions would want the same for them.

Duke started as a Christian university. They still have a cross as the iconic symbol.

I'm not promoting Islam at all.

I'm promoting tolerance. A fundamental component of a free society.

Just for clarity as I did pose an inquiry suggesting a 'call to prayer' and a 'church bell' might be of the same intent, the inquiry was intended only as a 'devil's advocate'.

I have no qualms whatever regarding what a private university (or public for that matter) does with its religious affiliations. However, under no condition whatever do I regard Islam as a religious practice outside of a 'devotion to a societal law' guised as a religion. We'd all be in big trouble if Christians and Jews were hashed about according to their religious laws circa 650AD.

I would support a Constitutional amendment that would prohibit any religion or law that seeks to deny a citizen's rights and privileges of a pursuit of life, liberty, happy ness (sic) and/or protections as afforded by the U.S. Constitution as amended. Excepting perhaps the 17th Amendment.

Well, I guess you see the right to preach, as more important than the right not to be preached to.

Probably one of the key reasons that individual religions have survived so long -ya tell em the good news, regardless of whether or not they want to hear it.

Two minutes, once a week.

I deal with religious door-knockers more than that.

It doesn't surprise me that you don't see the difference between door-knockers, and a mass religious, broadcasted recording, that can't be turned off.

Which part of North Korea are you from?

That can be ignored. And lasts less than two minutes, once per week.
