Catholic University has been accused of violating the human rights of Muslim students by not allowing them to form a Muslim student group and by not providing them rooms without Christian symbols for their daily prayers, according to a complaint filed with the Washington, D.C. Office of Human Rights.
The 60-page complaint said Muslim students must perform their prayers surrounded by symbols of Catholicism e.g., a wooden crucifix, paintings of Jesus, pictures of priests and theologians which many Muslim students find inappropriate.
SNIP
Patrick Reilly, the president of the Cardinal Newman Society, an organization that promotes Catholic identity among Catholic schools, seemed stunned by the complaint.
I dont know what the attorney wants them to do if he wants them to actually move the Basilica or if the Muslim students can find someplace where they dont have to look at it, he told Fox News. Catholic University, he said, is a Catholic institution.

Christians beware! Satan comes in many forms~beware the anti-Christ.
A time to fight back is here!
Not until there is a Catholic church in IRAN.
Tolerance is a one way street.
Catholic University, thus far, has done well sticking to its proverbial guns. They are a PRIVATE institution. If they fight this, they will win. The successfully fought the NAACP as well as others and they have not backed down ever. If they back down this time, it is their CHOICE. I hope they don’t.
Looks like the slippery slope just went vertical.
Meanwhile, I was listening to news today that Coptic Christians in Egypt are being killed, raped and tortured. What the hell???? The illegitimate idiot POTUS praised the “Arab Spring”... where is his condemnation of this persecution of Christians? More likely he is celebrating with his “crew” in West Hollywood noshing on Roscoe’s chicken and waffles... despicable and damn him to hell.
Headlines ought read America wants States without Muslims.
Or Catholic Schools ought be allowed to be Catholic—not subject to Islamic Law. Stealth Jihad folks —first the bloody buggers use our laws to get the camels nose under the tent —then they want to destroy the tent from the inside. I recall a Muslim folk notion Trust Allah -but tie up your camel. or something like that. Time we tied some camels eh?Let the Catholics be Catholic-and let the Muslims go back to whatever dismal State they came from.
What you “smell” is typical Muslim supremacist behavior.
It’s not really that they are “offended” by the crosses, or that they even bother them.
What they really want is to exercise their supremacy over the existing order and force their culture on it.
What I meant was this is the perfect example of what the separation of church and state argument is all about. It would certainly prevent the government from ordering a church to take down it’s symbol on behalf of another religion.
There are 2,618 four year colleges and universities in the US. So which one do they choose? A private Catholic school,,,and then demand it to remove it’s Christian symbols. One reason and one reason alone they chose that school,,,to make trouble.
