Meditation Rooms

In Minnesota, a community college's "meditation room" has been converted into a full scale Muslim prayer room ... all at the taxpayers expense. Yes, you guessed it, it's a government school.

http://littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog/?entry=28302_Muslim_Students_Take_Over_Meditation_Room_in_Minnesota&only

The room used to be the only usable racquetball court until the administrators decided it would be better used as a meditation room. This "meditation room" is said to be open to all religions ... from the descriptions that is clearly not the case.

The room is split into sex-segregated sections. The smaller section for women has literature like "Hijaab and Modesty," which instructs women on proper Islamic behavior – cover you face, stay at home, do not speak. There is also literature saying that the Jews and the Christians are the enemies of Allah.

A poster in the room advertises a local lecture for "marriage from an Islamic perspective." The other flyers were for students to join the Normandale Islamic Forum or participate in Ramadan celebrations. There is a sign on the room's entrance asking for all students to remove their shoes ... because Muslim customs require it. But it seems like there are a few things missing from this non-denominational catch-all "meditation room." How about a Bible. Or a crucifix. Or a Torah. Nope. Nothing but a bunch of Islamic propaganda.

Islamopandering ... happening everywhere.

It might be instructive to meditate on this for a while.

In the words of David Bowie, this is not America...

If I were a student there, I would probably go into the “men only” part wearing shoes and a cross and sit and say my rosary.

Anyone who is a Christian on campus should do that.
Not all together, one at a time, form a line out the door.
See how they like that.
Then I would sue the school.

Can Catholics use it. I may have to say the rosary a few times and see what they think about that.

I would suggest doing so only if you are accompanied by a few big husky Catholic men. The members of the ROP are not averse to committing violence when they feel like it.

I don’t understand it ...I am sick of Muslims & their demands! I see no reason for this at all. Seems to me the kids needed the exercise more then some room to meditate in...I thought the govt was so worried about fat kids! This is the bs we need to end asap before it comes to every school.

The room is split into sex-segregated sections.

I would think this would run afoul of the anti-discrimination rules which, I assume, exist at this college.

It's obvious that the administration of this school, and others around the country, won't enforce their rules when they come up against the demands of muslims for a simple reason: they're afraid of violence.

As long as some folks are giving in to Muslim demands those demands will continue.

Two students who are dating, one male and one female of course, ought to go into the "male" side of this room for a quick lunch. Perhaps ham sandwiches and a nice chablis? And a quick prayer before eating would be in order.

It would probably violate Civil Rights laws since it is providing separate but "equal" public facilities.

I know & I find it disturbing. If they want rooms to mediate in fine. Pay for them with donations not taxpayer money. Make them outside of a school area.

I have been bothered by the foot bath issue for a while. Where are these foot bath in the desert where there is little water? In all the pictures I have seen of Iraq I've yet to see a foot bath..Has anyone else noticed that?

The MN ACLU is allegedly going to address this now.

At least that’s what I heard on local am radio today.

This should be interesting...

Better yet, show up with tennis shoes and a racquet and tell them to clear off the court if they are not ready to be humiliated.

Install a security camera in the room and claim it is to prevent vandalism. Leave Catholic and Jewish literature in there. See if it is stolen and who did it.

Another approach might be to take down the 'Men' and 'Women' signs and replace them with signs saying 'Whites' and 'Negroes'.
