Durham, N.C. — A weekly call to prayer for Muslims will be heard at Duke University starting Friday, school officials said.
Members of the Duke Muslim Students Association will chant the call, known as adhan or azan, from the Duke Chapel bell tower each Friday at 1 p.m. The call to prayer will last about three minutes and be “moderately amplified,” officials said in a statement Tuesday.
“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.”

Hey, look who's on top — it's Zuul!
Reminds me when they built a Mosque in Brooklyn Heights/Flatbush near a Jewish neighborhood and the "moderately amplified call to prayer" was about as "moderately amplified" as the horn on a diesel train. I could hear it all the way from the Brooklyn bridge. There is NOTHING "moderate" about the most obnoxious religion in the world.
LOL!!!
Who can photoshop a minaret on that pic?
Heads will roll over this decision!
We get all the Utah stations down here. They’re all “Amateur Hour”. I watch them for comedy relief.
And then stupid Dish cuts off Fox News. Not that they are any better.
Watched “The Boss” on Netflix last week. Quite a reveal re Chicago politics. Hard to believe a good part of it but was entertaining.
I left the UMC last summer because of several statements made to me by various clergy:
1) “We really don’t know when life begins.”
2) “Jesus isn’t the only pathway to God.”
3) “Jesus would support the redistribution of wealth.”
4) We can’t put a bible verse in a free bag lunch because it might not be going to a Christian.”
But, I do miss the Wednesday night potlucks.
I wonder how the Duke Alumni Assoc feels about it...lots of doctors and lawyers in that.
Lotsa folks!
How about one for Mitt's next run at the WH??

College chaplains and assistants have always been the one un-noticed weak link in the fence of keeping radicals out of campus religion.
Leftist “liberation theology” clergy have been at Georgetown Un (DC), American University (a shitload since Charlie Rothers in the late 60’s), Rev. Chester Wickwire (Johns Hopkins Un, and a fan/friend of Soviet asset “Owen Lattimore” (from a personal contact with Wickwire); the Harvard Marxists, Yale chaplain lefties, etc.
Puke University seems to have an infiltration problem of their own making.
Some saboteur goodness in the form of pork loins, sirens, stink bombs and other counters are necessary here...
Congratulations for shaking the dust off your feet and heading out. I heard similar stuff in the UMC, such as, "Now, Mom, marriage isn't the only thing your kids should be thinking about when it comes to sex", and "poor people have no hope, really" and "we can't pray for Jesus' teachings to be heard understood around the world because it might offend Jews who are visiting our church", and similar insanities. I simply could not allow my kids to hear such nonsense any more. I started homeschooling Sunday School and began the hunt for a new church.
Really, I had the same thought, instantly. I'm sure Dr. Sapp will be impressed by the inclusivity of the Saudi Kingdom when she wears her Christian cross pendant (or more likely, her humanist Moebius loop or her lovely touristy fake faience ankh or Eye of Ra in the Great Mosque in Mecca.
A good old traditional .44-40 will get the camel's nose back out of the tent.
No, it was the Bush Administration, in 2001, who brought out the "Eid" stamps four days before 9/11. The same day, iirc, that I applied to Exxon for a job, only to see their HR people snowed trying frantically to pull their people out of the ME and Saudi.
UNFREEPINGBELIEVABLE!
Pull your degree 5 years after you graduate?
I cannot believe that such a provision would stand in a court of law!
It’s not a muslim country....YET. It will be. For some reason everyone with any power in this country is either helping it to take over or is allowing it to.
If I start hearing the call to prayer from my home I don’t know if I can take it. Anybody else feel the same way?
