I’ve never understood why liberals bend over backwards to accomodate Islam, but fight anything done to accomodate Christianity. In the latter case, we are told that we have to have separation of church and state. In the former case, I guess we’re supposed to be liberal and multi-cultural, and show how tolerant we are???

Someone pointed out that most university bathrooms in Muslim countries do not have such foot baths.

Next, they’ll have to move the toilet paper dispensers to the left-hand side of the toilets.

Boston University was founded as a Christian university. I think it was Methodist.

is this a serious question?
“Do they have a Christian chapel?”

BU is a Jesuit school

No, it’s not a Christian school. You are confusing it with Boston College.

Lots of our colleges were founded by Christian churches. Hillsdale college was founded by the Freewill Baptists but has long since been disassociated with the school.

The Freewill Baptists moved on and started one of the colleges in Oklahoma I believe.

BU is associated with the United Methodist church. I believe you may be thinking of Boston College, which is a Jesuit university.

Boston College is the Jesuit school. Boston University is loosely affiliated with the United Methodists.

"WHATS NEXT?"

The "what next" that we should really worry about is what happens when these characters achieve a political plurality in this nation. If anyone believes that the Constitution is under attack of late, just wait until another fifty years passes. In less than those fifty years this bunch of unwashed and uncivilized cretins will have achieved that plurality and completely rearranged the order of things in this country. I am comforted in knowing that I will no longer be here. I am NOT comforted in knowing that those I've left behind will suffer at the hands of a bunch of idiots.

Just another one of those religions where you have to perform some ritual in order to be accepted by God...

Islam practices crept slowly in UK because of weak-minded
politically-correct individuals who succumbed to tactics
used by muslims who are funded by people with big agenda
in Saudi Arabia/M.E.
London/UK now has sharia-controlled areas.
These kinds of appeasement must be stopped in the US.

Time to ring the ANGELUS at noon and six pm for the Catholics. Are there special prayer events for our protestant brethren?

BU is a private university. If you don’t like the policy then don’t go there, and if you already went there, then don’t donate money during the alumni giving campaign.

From a purely economic standpoint, this makes a lot of sense. Many private colleges and even prep schools rely upon foreign students for money because many of them pay full tuition and do not receive any financial aid. In addition, the wealthy parents of these foreign students often make additional contributions above and beyond tuition. (I have seen this first hand at both the prep school and college level.) So, if putting in a foot bath attracts a few wealthy Muzzies to the campus, then so be it becuse this is not so much about political correctness than it is about taking their money.

Jews have ritual washing, but they don't need tax dollars to do it:

The ACLU is being so hypocritical.

BU are the Terriers

Or, as we used to chant at the hockey games "DOG School! DOG School!!"

20 years later, and I'm still not a fan of BU.

I think this is where Martin Luther King got his divinity degree.
