Wichita State U Changes Chapel to Appease Muslims
unclesamsmisguidedchildren.com ^ | october 8, 2015 | faye higbee

Posted on 10/09/2015 3:41:03 AM PDT by lowbridge

The marginalization of Christianity is on a runaway train in America. Wichita State University renovated its chapel to accommodate Muslims. In the process, Christian-related objects were removed. The backlash was furious.

In May, workers removed Christian items like the pews, and the altar .. which have been given the boot. And that has not set well with alumni…many of whom are donors to the University. Chairs have been set up to replace the pews and make room for Muslim prayer rugs.

If they wanted to provide a place for Muslims, why didn’t they just give them a separate place? Because Muslims want dominance.

The School’s Student Body President is claiming “islamophobia” at the people who are upset. The school administration received such a backlash over the decision to change the chapel that now they are reviewing their plans.

“Under the terms of Mrs. Harvey D. Grace’s gift to the university in her will, ‘This chapel will be open to all creeds and to all races of people.’ Our goal should be exactly what Mrs. Grace set out to do in her gift, to have an all faiths chapel that is welcoming to all religious groups on campus.” WSU President John Bardo

I didn’t even hear about this.

I ought to head over there and raise hell.

WSU is normally somewhat sane, other than the refusal to reinstate the football program.

This is outrageous.

I would like to know more of the workings of Trump's inner dictionary when he uses the word "again" in Make America Great Again

This morning, my 30 YO son sent me a FB thingy that said ;



and I thought, for the first time .... THEIR "again" is SOOOO different than MY "again"


And the "again" for KANSAS, home of Dorothy and home values .... and the long since gone Hamtramc and a ton of OTHER "agains" .....


CAN we make them "again"


MY "again" is Norman Rockwell, and I fear for the USA and her previous ... her "again"

Devastated Christian Family: Our Longtime Muslim Friends and Neighbors Killed Our Children
Right Side News ^ | 10/8/2015 | Raymond Ibrahim / fr Posted by HomerBohn / (video at link)

The 6-minute video is a must-see. It offers an up close and personal account of what Christian minorities are experiencing at the hands of jihadis and other Muslim “rebels” being supported in the Mideast by the Obama administration.

A Christian family from Iraq narrates how their young children were killed and burned alive, “simply for wearing the cross.” One of the remaining and traumatized children plays with toy figures to show people how his siblings were slaughtered.

This family is identical to the other Christian refugees who fled the Islamic State in Iraq and came to America—only to be imprisoned for months and now to be thrown back to the lions by the Obama government.

Listen especially to the mother’s words starting around the 2:50 minute mark. She talks about how the “ISIS” that attacked and killed her children were their own Muslim neighbors, whom they ate with, laughed with, and even provided educational and medical service to.

============================================

In another horrific story, a Christian pastor recalled that a family of Muslims expressed what he thought was a sincere interest in Christianity. The pastor thought they were his friends in Christ....but it was all an act.

He later discovered the smiling friends were calculatedly learning all about his activities so they could get the opportunity to kill him.

Muslim savagery BEGINS W/ the duplicitous Muslim concept of "taquiya"---that it's OK to lie to an infidel to achieve Muslim conquest.

Political correctness is giving the country away. Don’t forget the quran, the muslim guidebook, says we infidels need to convert to their religion or be killed. That doesn’t seem to bother the progressive liberals who are more than willing to help.

‘This chapel will be open to all creeds and to all races of people.’ Our goal should be exactly what Mrs. Grace set out to do in her gift, to have an all faiths chapel that is welcoming to all religious groups on campus.”

Notice how the bequest morphed from creeds and races to "religious groups". That was smooth wasn't it?

“If they wanted to provide a place for Muslims, why didn’t they just give them a separate place? Because Muslims want dominance.”

And with minority status they will get it. The media already
promotes “black lives matter” and “hands up don’t shoot”
which are racist and outright lies. You throw in the fear
of beheading and the media will totally comply with whatever
the Muslims want. Islam is an ideology disguised as a religion and should be banned in this country.

I wager that Mrs. Grace was thinking of any Christian faith, since she financed a “CHAPEL”. There is no such thing as a chapel in other religions, but all Christian denominations understand what a chapel is.

“open to all creeds and to all races of people”

Well that does not mean that the chapel should be CHANGED to accommodate those other creeds and races. Mrs Grace wanted all people to use the chapel EXACTLY AS IT IS.

All the students should visit this chapel and leave an offering of a bacon slice.

That's it in a nutshell.

The sooner people wake up to that fact, the better off we're going to be.

See it for what it is -- an outright attack on the sanctity of a place of worship. Once you deem the chapel is a place for all races, creeds, and religions to worship, it's no longer a chapel, and is simply a community center that someone occasionally prays in.

When I visit my neighbor's house, I don't re-paint the living room to suit me.

Well it is the birthplace of the mother of Hussein, and the stalking grounds of the BTK dog catcher.

It's the obvious choice for the nations new capitol site.

The left desperately wants to eliminate Christianity by welcoming screaming bearded head choppers.
