Muslim Brotherhood-linked Muslim Students Association behind the effort
In a move described as an initiative to promote “religious pluralism,” Duke University announced Tuesday it would broadcast a weekly call to prayer for Muslims from the Duke Chapel bell tower each Friday at 1 p.m. Yesterday, however, the University reversed itself.
“Duke remains committed to fostering an inclusive, tolerant and welcoming campus for all of its students,” said Michael Schoenfeld, vice president for public affairs and government relations. “However, it was clear that what was conceived as an effort to unify was not having the intended effect.”
Thus Duke takes a rare break from its long tradition of fostering a politically correct, hypersensitive atmosphere on campus—one rife with hypocrisy.

Offer bacon cheeseburgers for lunch.
Seriously, I wonder if there are any pork products offered in the cafeteria anymore. Wouldn’t be surprised if there was creeping sharia on the campus.
““Duke remains committed to fostering an inclusive, tolerant and welcoming campus for all of its students,”
Does that really mean having to bow to a certain (any) religion? I’m mean they act as if the campus is the only place they can worship.
Disgusting that they planned to do it.
The left has proven that it has a deep and abiding love for the ROP crowd, a love based on their mutual hate for Christianity and Judaism, and for a society based on Christian and Jewish values.
Duke reversed because money talks and BS walks. The Alumni have spoken.
Probably no bacon to be seen anywhere.
Isn’t this an affront to the prophet?
Probably a slander.
Holder will file suit shortly.
(I would NEVER send a kid to Duke)
Yep that is what I told my brother last night. The donors to the school were going to pull all future donations. That is the ONLY reason.
Look at Target, closing stores since they went all in for homosexuality.
...Same with JC Penney.
The question they should’ve asked themselves up front is: Will I so fawningly accommodate such a request from a Christian organization? No? Didn’t think so.
