Do Crosses at Catholic University Violate “Human Rights” of Muslims?
Fox News ^ | 10-26-11

Posted on 08/14/2012 6:56:40 PM PDT by SJackson

The Washington, D.C. Office of Human Rights confirmed that it is investigating allegations that Catholic University violated 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.

The investigation alleges that 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.”

A spokesperson for the Office of Human Rights told Fox News they had received a 60-page complaint against the private university. The investigation, they said, could take as long a six months.

Catholic University! Catholic University!

If this is a “Catholic University”, the muzzies should have no say about the crosses. If they don’t like it, transfer to a muzzie university.......IN EGYPT.

Philippians 3:18-19 "For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame—who set their mind on earthly things."

This is a CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY for God’s sake (opps, not a politically correct comment). IF the muzzies don’t like the crosses, let them transfer to a muzzie university......IN EGYPT!

That would seem to make sense to me. I assume there is a complaintant, just not a general “uprising” of Muslim students.

Another example of why there can be NO accomodation with MOhammadanism in western culture.

One wonders WHY Mohammedans would be attending this kind of school in the first place if not to intimidate Christians, but then the same “civil rights” organization would probably be inmvestigating them if tried to keep the sscum out.

Re: There will be no stopping them from the passive Christians.

I had a priest tell me that as a Christian you do not want to make a door mat out of yourself.

The muslims objecting to crosses reminds me about how I had to go to Catholic boarding school.

Yes, a Jew in Catholic boarding school.

You see, I was a holy terror. I had been kicked out of every school my parents put me in — yeshivas, secular, even public schools.

In desperation, my father goes to our Rabbi for advice.

The Rabbi says to put me in Catholic boarding school.

Shocked, my father asks if the Rabbi was sure.

“Yes” was the reply, so my father takes me to the nuns and leaves.

I did well. Grades great, no disciplinary problems, made the Dean’s list at semester. Even made the lacrosse team. The mother superior wrote a note on my report card saying what a polite young man I was.

My parents were befuddled, but didn’t want to mess up a good thing.

Finally it was parents’ visiting day, where I got to have lunch with my family. I recall it well. I come in and say “Good afternoon Papa, good afternoon Mama,” and proceeded to do my homework.

My father couldn’t take it any more, and finally ask why I had been behaving so well.

I looked up and said, “Papa when you left, the Mother Superior told me that they did not allow rowdy boys, then she took me to my room.”

My father nodded for me to go on.

“Well Papa they mean business! They’ve got a Jew nailed on a cross in every room!”

It is a joke, but it’s also a commentary about how civilized people act, compared to how muslims act.
