Perhaps it was appropriate this was announced on 9/11 through a campus-wide e-mail, but we were informed that the University of Dayton (OH), a Catholic University established by the Society of Mary, has now set up a "prayer room" for Muslim students and staff, including Korans and "prayer rugs."
I do not know if the university felt this was mandated by government regulations (unfortunately, we take government money) or simply an bent knee toward "diversity," but I imagine the Fathers are rolling over in the cemetary.
“Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached.” Byzantine Emperor -Manuel II Paleologus 1391
OMG. That explains everything.
I didn’t realize that U. Dayton was a Catholic University. I’m so sorry about this. Why would a Muslim even want to go to a Catholic university?
We are simply handing the fox the keys to the henhouse. Where is that crap going to end??
They want to pray to their fake god and false prophet? That’s what dorm rooms are for.
The religious left strikes again - they would appease Satan himself in the name of tolerance...
::::
Change “tolerance” to “cowardice”.
Those stupid infidels in Dayton.
Are you kidding me? Why? This IS my alma mater and I cannot believe this. Has there been any discussion on campus about the fact that they did this?
Now they’ll have a place to strap on their bomb belts without being harassed by security.
Well, that was your university's mistake.
Who pays the piper calls the tune. You lose the right to a lot of your autonomy once you start suckling on that government teat.
What next? Prayer rugs at all Catholic churches?
Last time I checked, setting up space for the use of one race only was called racism.
not all of them. there are some authentically Catholic schools left. My daughter is a freshman at one of them, the University of Dallas.
I am a Catholic and I am outraged about this. Let them start their own Mooslime U, that way they can kiss the carpet in their classrooms.
I have never understood this carpet kissing nonsense anyway. Muslims consider the bottom of the feet to be dirty. It is an insult to sit and show the soles of your shoes. So if the bottom of your feet are dirty, and you walk on carpets with them, why on earth would you kiss them whe you “pray”?
John Paul II had a disgraceful attitude towards Islam...praising it as a "great religion" while turning a blind eye to the slow-motion genocide of Christians at the hands of Muslims in Asia and Africa.
This needs to be repeated 10,000 times and not just that - Every single FReeper needs to be aware of what is going on.
Never in my entire life have I been so utterly disgusted - Im really at a loss for words on this one -
What really breaks my heart is that NO ONE is going to cry for America the next time - NO ONE - America will have fully deserved whatever they have coming.
the gov’t money is definitely the key. UDallas takes none.
I fear you are correct...
