A litigious atheist organization known for its lawsuits challenging Christian prayer and symbols in public spaces and Bibles in public schools is now voicing objection to the designation of a Muslim prayer space at the University of Iowa (UI).

The Wisconsin-based Freedom from Religion Foundation (FFRF) says it is “questioning the appropriateness” of the two prayer rooms created primarily for male and female Muslim faculty and students at UI.

FFRF states in a press release:

The public university, located in Iowa City, has recently established two prayer rooms for its Muslim students. This is in addition to a longstanding university chapel that features a Latin cross. The presence of such religious venues on a public campus raises a number of issues.

The Atheists love to act like they are all part of the same “get Christians” attack squad.

When it comes to Islam, you should watch them scramble and equivocate.

This is all for show. They are not about to fight this all that hard.

Hopefully their arguments won’t be cut short.

Now we just need LGBT activists to sue a Muslim bakery over a wedding cake and we can get two bowls of popcorn.

First of all, the LGBTQ should be sued for forcing their evil, irrational “faith” system on others——since their “belief” system is incompatible with the Constitution of the USA and our Natural Rights from God.

Their ideology is just dumb-—and filthy-—and irrational, and denies Science and Reason and ALL Just Laws and Rules and Regulations have to be based on “Right Reason” and can NEVER deny our Natural Rights from God.

Their vile behaviors are evil and should NEVER be promoted, and such an irrational concept as “gay” (lol) “marriage”-—is an impossible, irratioanal “union” (lol) which denies babies their biological mother or father and sets babies up to be sold and bought like a slave. (unconstitutional).

Oh ya-—they promote baby-killing and selling baby body parts—even as they abort live babies and kill them later to sell their organs.

All “Justices” who promote evil, vile “laws” like abortion and “gay” “marriage should be impeached and put in prison for Treason and usurping our Constitution which they take an Oath to defend.

All unjust, irrational, arbitrary law is “null and void”—Nuremberg Trials/Justice John Marshall/MLK, Jr). Only Christianity-—the ONLY Rational religion-—can be promoted in a “Just Law” since ONLY Christian Ethics are compatible with Natural Law Theory and Science/Biology and God's Laws-—which is the basis of American Jurisprudence.

Not hard to figure out. Whenever trying to figure out liberals just ask yourself, “What would a coward do?”

Od course they will ban all regions except Islam.

I was simply wanting to see Muslims treated the same as Christians are, nothing else. If Christians aren’t allowed rights neither should the muslims.

Call me old fashion but my first question would be: WTF ARE MUSLIMS DOING IN MY COUNTRY IN THE FIRST PLACE!??!

From the looks of it, pretty much the same thing the 17th century Christians were doing here.

I guess the difference is the Indians had no First Amendment.
