A Travesty: Muslim Call To Prayer To Be Chanted Every Friday Across Campus At Duke University

[mudwhistle]

This should not be permitted.


Muslim Call to Prayer to be Chanted Every Friday at Duke University - Breitbart

no more grant money for Duke or any other funds from any level of government

separation of church and state

How has Duke breached that? They are not leading the prayers. What they are doing is the same as ringing the church bells.

I question their timing.

The victims of Charlie Hebdo aren't even all buried, and these idiots start piping the Adhan all over campus.

I doubt the decision was made overnight. And I also doubt that college students at Duke had anything to do with the travesty in Paris.

Well a poor excuse is better than no excuse I suppose.....

Why should their religious expression depend on the actions of people half the world away?

Duke is a private college. They can do what they want in this regard. Oh, and by the way, Breitbart is still dead. Just sayin...

Yeah, it is amazing that someone could excuse a private institution making its own decisions. How dare they!!

Duke University finds homosexual haters it can embrace
By Thomas Lifson

Duke University is one of the most politically correct campuses in the nation, a title for which there is abundant competition. Chick Fil A’s outlet on campus closed in 2013, after its contract expired in the wake of concerns expressed by the LGBT Center.

But now comes news that the Muslim call to prayer, the adhan, will echo from the bell tower of the Duke chapel – Duke’s most iconic structure -- every Friday, electronically amplified. CNN:

Starting Friday, the Duke Muslim Students Association will chant the call, or adhan, from the Duke Chapel bell tower. The adhan signals the beginning of the weekly prayer service. It's ubiquitous in Muslim countries the world over; not so in the Carolina piedmont.

The call will last three minutes and will be only "moderately amplified," the school said.

Duke, which got its start in the late 19th century with help from the Methodist church, says the move "represents a larger commitment to religious pluralism that is at the heart of Duke's mission."

I wonder how the LGBT Center feels about this? Islam calls for the killing of homosexuals. If mere opposition to same sex marriage is cause for outrage, how about the killing of homosexuals?

Correction - radical Islam calls for the killing of homosexuals.

So, putting them to death is the only evidence that Muslims hate gays?

Plenty on both sides of the issue would tell you otherwise.

I made no statement to that effect. I was merely pointing out that it is radical Islam that calls for killing homosexuals. But since this is being argued, I have seen so-called Christians in this country say essentially as much. Why no comment on those people?

Excuse my frankness, but

What part is bullshit? The part where I have seen so-called Christians in this country say as much? Or the fact that so-called Christians have, in fact, attacked, and in some cases, killed homosexuals in this country? And in fact, such attacks have a long history in this country.

What exactly does an incident that took place in France have to with allowing the Adhan to be broadcast on a private university campus in America? ......

What if Israel nuked Iran.

Would that be the perfect time to start playing traditional Hebrew religious songs over the PA?

[Syriusly]

Our mosque wanted to broadcast the Adhan (call to prayer) through a loudspeaker on the roof.

Some people objected and the issue went before the City Council.

It was brought up that the Catholic church a block down the street rang it's steeple bells several times per day.

We won the case and the beautiful Adhan now permeates the air 5 times per day. ......

Broadcasting evil over the speakers

What you call 'evil' we Americans call Freedom of Religion and Freedom of Speech.

we also call it; separation of church and state

and bigotry, since they do nothing for the other religions

What makes you think that they do 'nothing' for other religions- other than your assumption?

Wierdest strawman I have seen in a great while. And for these boards that is saying something.

If Israel nuked Iran, I would hope that Americans biggest concern would not be about what kind of religious music to play.

 

[bodecea]

What is the problem?

Muslims

Wonder what the same hypocritical piece of shit if the school called for a public prayer of the Our Father.....


He would not be asking, "What is the problem?"


Liberals, the hypocrisy never ends.

What would be problem with a public prayer of Our Father in a private university- and I ask that as a Liberal?

I don't see a problem with that at all. It's a private university.

Indeed, it is the radical muslims who want to put gays to death. The mainstream muslims have not tried to do any such thing.

Doesn't matter. It's a terrible sin to Muslims. According to the Koran it is a death sentence along with blasphemy and apostasy.

Still, Muslims are attacking us all over the world. Death by a thousand paper-cuts right now but soon another 9/11 or worse if nothing is done.

Again- weird strawman alert.

There is a real issue with violent Musllim extremists who hate the West- hate who we are and what we represent.

That has nothing to do with Duke University- a private institution- treating Islam equally with Christianity.

I keep being told by Christians that homosexuality is a terrible sin also.

And the death sentence for homosexuality in the Old Testament is death.

What is your point again?

Today is what matters, not stuff that happened long ago.

Name an example of a devout Christian who killed a homosexual just for making fun of Jesus.

Aside from angry comments, alumni donors may have threatened to zip up the wallet.

UPDATE:

Duke Announces Change to Friday’s Call-to-Prayer

DURHAM, NC - Duke University has reconsidered a previously announced plan to present a traditional Muslim call-to-prayer from the Duke Chapel bell tower, campus officials said Thursday.

The call to prayer, or “adhan,” which announces the start of a weekly jummah prayer service that has been held in the Chapel basement for the past several years, will not come from the bell tower on Friday as announced earlier.

“Duke remains committed to fostering an inclusive, tolerant and welcoming campus for all of its students,” said Michael Schoenfeld, vice president for public affairs and government relations. “However, it was clear that what was conceived as an effort to unify was not having the intended effect.”

Jummah prayers have taken place in the basement of Duke Chapel for many years, and start with the traditional call to prayer chant. Members of the Muslim community will now gather for the call-to-prayer chant on the quadrangle outside the Chapel, a site of frequent interfaith programs and activities, before moving to their regular location for prayers. More than 700 of Duke’s 15,000 undergraduate and graduate students identify as Muslim.

“Our Muslim community enriches the university in countless ways,” said Schoenfeld. “We welcome the active expression of their faith tradition, and all others, in ways that are meaningful and visible.”

Wait until ISIS is history, Boca Haram is wormfood, and Muslims stand up and start taking out these radical SOBs themselves, with no prodding from the US.

Oh, and when they stop calling us the Great Satan and they stop celebrating our demise.

Ok. Once again, a private organization made a decision about what happens on their campus.
