A commentator for American Thinker is calling on supporters to contact campus officials to protest the fact that a Muslim call to prayer is being broadcast on the campus of UCLA – a “publicly funded institution.”
“This in an act of Islamic supremacism,” writes Carol Brown. “If Muslim students at UCLA can’t figure out how to tell time or keep track of when they need to pray, that’s their problem.”
Her column provides online links for a long list of UCLA officials, including President Janet Napolitano and many more, specifically including contacts for a list of corporate donors to the university.
“The call to prayer is something that is blasted over loudspeakers in Muslim majority countries and Muslim enclaves around Detroit,” Brown wrote. “We’ve already heard enough ‘Allahu Akbar’ for a lifetime.” She said “fighting creeping Shariah requires constant vigilance.”
The concern arose in the wake of a controversy over an announcement by Duke University – later withdrawn – to have the Muslim prayer call blasted across its campus on Fridays. The move by school officials had surprised the dean of the Duke Divinity School, who was not consulted, according to a Washington Post report.
Dean Richard Hays said, “Any decision to permit the use of a prominent Christian place of worship as a minaret for Muslim proclamation will, in our time, have immediate global repercussions. Any discussion about such a proposal should take into careful account the perspective of millions of Christians living in Islamic societies where their faith is prohibited or persecuted.”
Among those protesting the school move was Franklin Graham, the son of Billy Graham, who asked donors to “withhold their support from Duke until this policy is reversed.” Shortly after, the university reversed its decision, citing “security concerns.”

and looks nothing like the ancient Greek numerals for the Number of the Beast (which incidentally don't have a harpoon shaped bar over the xi, nor a dot to the right of the digamma).
While as an Orthodox Christian, I don't regard lying as indefeasibly evil (St. John Chrysostom gives examples of blameless deceptions and there are instances from the lives of the saints), supporting the critique of Islam as demonic with transparent lies only served the interest of the Evil One.

Lauds or Dawn Prayer (at Dawn, or 3 a.m.)
Prime or Early Morning Prayer (First Hour = approximately 6 a.m.)
Terce or Mid-Morning Prayer (Third Hour = approximately 9 a.m.)
Sext or Midday Prayer (Sixth Hour = approximately 12 noon)
None or Mid-Afternoon Prayer (Ninth Hour = approximately 3 p.m.)
Vespers or Evening Prayer ("at the lighting of the lamps", generally at 6 p.m.) Compline or Night Prayer (before retiring, generally at 9 p.m.)
I know there is a Lutheran Chapel and a Catholic Center either on campus or right across the street from it. And there are any number of religious student groups that meet. The article says the Muslim call was heard on campus. Did it originate from somewhere on campus or from some building just off campus?
‘$57’...LOL!
The Pricing should allow each Mooselim Student to purchase A Prophet Watch of their very own.
Salami..Salami..Baloney!
Please refrain from abusing the Activism sidebar.
Thanks.
Not interested in listening to this nonsense.
Wow. That’s odd. How is that abuse? I just pick the first one in the lineup. It’s not intentional. I’ll just quit posting then.
Jamaat ul-Fuqra in the United States – Muslims in America
I just checked the App Store and there are multiple apps for indicating the Muslim prayer times on iOS devices. I am certain that there are also multiple Android apps for the same purpose.
Thanks for your service.
The Activism sidebar is normally reserved for the FR Chapters.
It’s simple - just don’t check the ‘Activism’ checkbox.
Thank you so much, onedoug.
Did you command at company level?
As an old SP4, I’ve always held military officers in esteem. And I’m still a little intimidated by them. Really.
I was in 1/1 CAV, AMERICAL DIV, I Corps, RVN 1968-69. Every now & then an officer screwed up. But the majority that I knew were genuine leaders.
Medals are a fine thing, yet so many acts of true heroism and self-sacrifice go unknown on the battlefield.
But I’m raving.
I salute you, Ma’am.
