DieHardBrownsFan Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Duke Univ to Sound Muslim Call to Prayer From Chapel Bell Tower share this email Jan 15, 2015 // 8:03am As seen on Fox and Friends Duke University raised some eyebrows this week with an announcement that the university will sound the Muslim call to prayer on Fridays. In an announcement, the university said the call to prayer, or the adhan, will last about three minutes and be "moderately amplified" from the chapel bell tower "The adhan is the call to prayer that brings Muslims back to their purpose in life, which is to worship God and serves as a reminder to serve our brothers and sisters in humanity," said Imam Adeel Zeb, Muslim chaplain at Duke. “The collective Muslim community is truly grateful and excited about Duke’s intentionality toward religious and cultural diversity.” “This opportunity represents a larger commitment to religious pluralism that is at the heart of Duke’s mission,” added Christy Lohr Sapp, the chapel’s associate dean for religious life. “It connects the university to national trends in religious accommodation.” Rev. Franklin Graham voiced criticism of the university on Facebook, calling on Duke donors to withhold support until this policy is scrapped. Post by Franklin Graham. Steve Doocy discussed the call to prayer, which is scheduled to start tomorrow, this morning with Dr. Robert Jeffress, a pastor and Fox News contributor. Jeffress disputed Duke's contention that the decision is in the name of "diversity," saying the university once canceled a pro-life event at its women's center. "Those who cry loudest for tolerance are often the most intolerant when it comes to viewpoints they disagree with. This is a travesty coming from a school that was originally founded as a Christian school by Methodists and Quakers," said Jeffress. Doocy asked whether the university will also devote time to "amplify" the Our Father for Christian students. Jeffress called on Evangelical students at Duke to demand to recite John 3:16 on the loudspeakers. "I wonder how far that request would go," Jeffress said. He added that the First Amendment grants people the right to practice whatever religion they want to, but it does not "mandate that all religions get equal time." Watch the full discussion above.

WalterWhite Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 I will not feel bad at all when the first gunmen or Bomber takes out a group. White Liberals have allowed terrorism and Islam to pollute their cities and countries. LONDON is a fucking shit hole infested with rat like sand people. France is a Mecca for savages. SWEDEN is awful as well. Canada allowed this as well. Liberal policies of multiculturalism = Muslim savages and terrorism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieHardBrownsFan Posted January 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 What's amazing as that no one seems to care. Can you imagine if they put up a nativity scene? The atheists would scream holy murder. But this is okay with the pussies which I figured. Lets recite 4 hail mary's everyday over the loud speaker at Duke then. Should be cool right?

Westside Steve Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 It doesn't bother me. Then again Hail Marys over the loudspeaker or a nativity scene wouldn't bother me either. WSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieHardBrownsFan Posted January 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 It should bother you that Muslim are getting preferential treatment at large Colleges like Duke. I mean give me a fucking break. Do you really think this would happen with a christian group, or are you afraid to piss off someone in Ann Arbor?

The Cysko Kid Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 The preferential treatment is bullshit. If I were the leader of the campus Christian group I'd be demonstrating constantly until they allowed hymns or whatever to be played for three minutes directly following the muslim shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calfoxwc Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 Or, all the non-Muslims in school start singing "Amazing Grace" at the same time. THEN the aclu will get honked off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LogicIsForSquares Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 As well they should. People are not really keen on playing the diversity game after Paris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLD Woody Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 Duke is a private school, so they can do what they want. That being said, I'm on the side for keeping religion out of it. I'd imagine this would open the flood gates for a bunch of different groups wanting special privileges too. Bad idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalterWhite Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 Duke is a private school, so they can do what they want. So by this logic private business should be able to do whatever the fuck they want to. Yet all you Libs blather about is the private sector ruining things.

Westside Steve Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 Yeah these double standards sucks. I have no bitch with freedom of religion though. WSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLD Woody Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 They can do what they want in regards to separation of church and state. A public school would be held to that standard. If Michigan or OSU different, it would objectively be incorrect. Also, this isn't discriminating against anyone. I feel like, as do many others, that by not serving gays its really just discrimination hiding behind religion. If a private company wants to be very Christian, or be very Muslim or whatever then I think that's fine. When they begin discriminating against certain groups is where my concern is. It is a fine line though, I'll give you that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalterWhite Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 I think religion should be banned from all schools and Bill Nye explains why: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHbYJfwFgOU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLD Woody Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 I don't like you saying things that I, as a base, agree with. I am also not a fan of religion, but you basically agreeing with that delegitimizes my views in a way. and even posting Bill Nye stuff? Uughh.

At some point this obnoxious behavior seems more like jealousy... Just sayin... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
