Crosses in every room at Washingon D.C.’s Catholic University of America are a human rights violation that prevent Muslim students from praying.
That’s the complaint to the Washington, D.C. Office of Human Rights filed by a professor from rival George Washington University across town.
GWU Law School Professor John Banzhaf takes the Catholic institution to task for acting “probably with malice” against Muslim students in a 60-page complaint that cites “offensive” Catholic imagery all over the Catholic school, which he says hinder Muslims from praying.
Baffled Catholic University officials say they have never received a complaint from any of the schools Muslim students.
Banzhaf, who already has a pending lawsuit against the university over ending its policy of allowing mixed-gender dormitories and has a history of filing civil rights suits on such topics as childhood obesity and smoking, filed the complaint alleging that Muslim students are not given their own prayer rooms.
He alleges that the university, “does not provide space – as other universities do – for the many daily prayers Muslim students must make, forcing them instead to find temporarily empty classrooms where they are often surrounded by Catholic symbols which are incongruous to their religion,” according to the Tower, Catholic University’s student newspaper.
The complaint further objects that Muslims must pray at the school’s chapels “and at the cathedral that looms over the entire campus – the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception.”

Why would Muslims enroll at a Catholic university in the first place?
Tolerance is so old fashioned these days.. at least for some
Banzaf is an asshat and is best ignored.
push
and push
and PUSH
and PUSH
AND PUSH
...until they discover we can PUSH BACK.
MUSLIME WHINERS OUT NOW!!!
As part of the enrollment process, the terms of agreement between student and university should be spelled out. Now IF the university takes in public monies then that becomes a stickier proposition and requires a lawyer to sort out.
Could someone post that old Internet fact sheet about Muslim percentages as a minority population within various countries, and how their “misbehavior” escalates until they are finally able to subdue their host country?
Eff the Muslims. Let them attend a Moozie institution.
Is this for real or is this satire??
If this is for real God help us all.
Vampires ?
Sounds like GWU Law School Professor John Banzhaf is a “vexatious litigant” who should be forcibly prevented from pursuing his brand of extortionate ‘lawfare’ against normal, decent people and institutions.
Muslims kill people.
They need to go, and I don’t care how we do it.
probably right down there with the queer population
Not far off from them wanting ‘prayer rugs’ at all Catholic churches.
They can pray in the rest rooms.
Can we?
About time for another cartoon contest. God bless Pam Geller.
Pretty much my question.
I would expect a Catholic school to be, well, Catholic.
