By DAVID ZUCCHINO
The director of the Islamic Studies Center at Duke is 'sick to my stomach' over Muslim prayer controversy
The director of the Islamic Studies Center at Duke University, which canceled plans to broadcast a weekly call to Muslim prayers from its famed chapel amid intense controversy and threats, said Friday that he was "sick to my stomach" and disappointed by the episode.
"I am disappointed, because I’d like to think we are better than this...better than being intimidated and pressured, '' Omid Safi, director of the program, said in an email to the Los Angeles Times.

"It makes me sick to my stomach that there are those in the world who find it appropriate to make recourse to violence—even threats of violence—to justify their means,'' Safi said.

Good I’m sick of Christians not getting the Lord’s prayer over the loudspeaker everyday.
Primarily... but the 'religion' part shores up the political part. If you disagree with a politician in this country you're disagreeing with a person. In Muslim cultures when the Imam gives his 'blessing' you're disagreeing with Allah. It's an evil system.
The outcome of any such situation at your level is totally dictated by Duke's WEALTHY CONTRIBUTORS and what they WANT and DON'T want.
STANDING OVATION and ongoing APPLAUSE.
Very well stated.
“”Do liberals ever think through how inconsistent their positions are on various issues???””
Don’t think so. Like opposing the death penalty but advocating/supporting abortion.....
Yes and where are all the women who try to go into a mooselimb place of a$$ hi worship and pray with the men?
I thought so. crickets
Nevertheless, Islam, the political part, wants to replace our Constitution with Sharia Law. That’s treason.
If we want to save America, that’s got to be our reasoning.
You’re very kind—thanks.
I am so tired of hearing Muslims whine, I could throw up as well.

Upon removing their heads from their bodies the whining seems to subside somewhat.........
Better than pressure and intimidation? Maybe Muslims should stop pressuring, then. And killing.
Invaders.
They can ‘want’ anything. it’s our job to make sure it doesn’t happen.
I’m trying to suggest the only way America can deal with them legally that still respects freedom of religion. I’m not trying to fight you for an opinion.
I’m saying, charge Muslims with treason and get them out of our country or in federal prisons because they ARE committing treason. They are not practicing freedom of religion.
I don’t want to disagree with you but it’s not against the law for people to want changes in the law. That would include changes by any group. If we want that different we would have to pass a law making it different.
Okay then. There is nothing to stop Islam from replacing the Constitution with Sharia Law.
Of course there’s something to stop them. There’s you, me, and millions of other Americans who aren’t going to put up with that crap... We can assume every freeper is with us too...
You’d swear this is John Semmens semi-news/semi-satire. But you’d be mistaken.
How?
