Why are Muslims at a Christian University to start with? Turning the other cheek is going to get people at that University killed one day.

Where else are they gonna go? You don't see any Muslim colleges anywhere, do you?

May God deal with the leaders of this college, ever so severely! They have forgotten all the proscriptions of idolatry in the Bible, including the Apostle Paul's in 1st Corinthians 10:

6 Now these things took place as examples for us, that we might not desire evil as they did.

7 Do not be idolaters as some of them were; as it is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to play.”

8 We must not indulge in sexual immorality as some of them did, and twenty-three thousand fell in a single day.

9 We must not put Christ to the test, as some of them did and were destroyed by serpents, 10 nor grumble, as some of them did and were destroyed by the Destroyer.

11 Now these things happened to them as an example, but they were written down for our instruction, on whom the end of the ages has come...

14 Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.

15 I speak as to sensible people; judge for yourselves what I say.

16 The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ?

17 Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread. 18

Consider the people of Israel: are not those who eat the sacrifices participants in the altar?

19 What do I imply then? That food offered to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything?

20No, I imply that what pagans sacrifice they offer to demons and not to God. I do not want you to be participants with demons.

21 You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons.

22 Shall we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he?

“Of the roughly 1,000 students attending McMurry, about 60 are Muslim and many come from Saudi Arabia, Yousef said.”

That’s a lot. How many other students are foreigners?

I wonder if this Texas Christian college has administration orchestrated gangs rapes like Southern Methodist University does?

“would a Muslim university open a prayer room for
Christians???”

No. . but Christ taught “do unto others as you would have
them do unto you”. Just don’t fellowship in the same room
with them. Don’t mistreat nobody.

Well, the Muzzi militants in Saudi Arabia have to have a base somewhere from which to monitor Dyess AFB.

There are two universities in Abilene and both are supposedly Christian

You scored a 66 on the written exam.

Abilene Christian University - Church of Christ

McMurray University - United Methodist - but probably a more conservative alternative to SMU

AND

Hardin Simmons University - liberal Baptist General Convention of Texas (Southern Baptist) but probably a more conservative alternative to Baylor

Texas Tech also offers some classes in Abilene, and Cisco College is a county or so over, but we won't count them.

A puzzle, until I learned it’s a Methodist school. They flack John Wesley’s name on one hand, while continuously discounting the Scriptures on the other. After ordaining sodomites, what sacrilige is left, except homage to a heathen moon god?

Muslims don’t require a special prayer room. They pray where they are, on a rug, piece of cardboard, etc. That’s why they pray on sidewalks, streets, in their bedroom, etc.
