Last week, I visited a Muslim place of worship. A schedule for Islam's five daily prayers was posted at the entrance, near a sign requesting that shoes be removed. Inside, a barrier divided men's and women's prayer space, an arrow informed worshippers of the direction of Mecca, and literature urged women to cover their faces. Sound like a mosque? The place I'm describing is the "meditation room" at Normandale Community College, a 9,200-student public institution in Bloomington. A row of chest-high barriers splits the room into sex-segregated sections. In the smaller, enclosed area for women sits a pile of shawls and head-coverings. Literature titled "Hijaab [covering] and Modesty" was prominently placed there, instructing women on proper Islamic behavior.
They should cover their faces and stay at home, it said, and their speech should not "be such that it is heard."

What state? What city? Private school? Public school? What’s the school’s full name?

This school as a community college receives funds paid by the taxpayer. They should revoke the funds.
Want to bet if a female Normandale Christian or agnostic confronted someone over her right to use the room and a fight or worse ensued; the female would be characterized as intolerant of another culture or that she went to the “meditation room” looking to cause a fight.
I believe if Christians had taken over 60 minutes and the local news would have hidden cameras in there is a heart beat....as it is I hope a confrontation will take place ..on camera so the Muzzies won’t be able to lie their way out of it...

Perhaps a Catholic group on campus can hold a non-sex-segregated Mass that Friday in the meditation room, followed by a traditional Franciscan blessing of pets - like dogs and pot-bellied pigs.

SAME is with the anti-Christian anti_Jew Muslims!! Pretty soon we will all have to take lessons in ISLAM...AT WORK!!

The public High School in Columbia Missouri has a Prayer Room for Muslim Students also. Amazing what they can get by with that would never be tolerated for a Christian group.
