Duke University caved. Was ARE a nation of Islamophobes. Sure, my conservative friends will blast me for this, but the truth is the truth. What the heck was wrong with Duke playing the call to prayer to meet the religious beliefs of their Muslim student population? What is meant when I hear "to do it so close to the Paris attacks"? What do the Paris attacks have to do with Muslim students who like the idea of being able to hear the call to prayer once a week as is standard in their religion?
How would the Christian students feel if they were told that bell ringing at mass would not be allowed once a week on Sunday?
Sorry folks. I see no issue with the University catering to their Muslim students wishes as it pertains to their religion. It should have absolutely no affect on the other students...unless the call to prayer gives them reason to think they are going to be attacked...which would make them Islamophobes.
Of course, I stand corrected if, in fact, Duke University STOPPED any bell ringing for mass...but my guess is they do every Sunday.
