[Catholic] University Accused of Discriminating Against Muslims
The Tower ^ | October 20, 2011 | Amanda Pellegrino, Tower Staff

Posted on 10/26/2011 11:48:14 AM PDT by americanophile

New charges have recently been filed against the University on counts of illegal discrimination against its Muslim and female students. The allegations are being reviewed by the District of Colombia Office of Human Rights (OHR), which has the strictest discrimination laws in the country. President John H. Garvey and the University is being urged to respond to the charges.

John F. Banzhaf III, the George Washington University Professor of Public Interest Law who initiated the legal controversy surrounding same-sex residence halls, is also the one behind these new charges.

The official allegations claim that CUA, “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 a press release on PRLOG.com.

It should be the business of a Catholic university to convert, not accommodate.

Heh, heh!

Your inverted scenario is no more ridiculous than the real thing. As noted earlier, John Banzhaf is a piece of uh.... work. I think he helped denature Notre Dame when he was president there and is thick as thieves with the ACLU.

I wonder what the response would be if a Christian student were attending a Muslim university and making similar demands??

These enemies of America obviously are not there for an education but to damage and destroy America. SCREW THEM....

I have an idea, why not play ragheads and crusaders. They can have all the rocks they want and we have machine guns. Works for me.

When I went to Catholic U for undergrad, there were no muslims. ...I do not know why muslims would want to go there.

To dilute our culture?

Anti-Christian psychopath. He insists that C.U. facilitate student fornication by having men and women live together, but also insists they accommodate Islam, which will stone the women to death.

People like this ... there's just nothing to say that wouldn't have me going back to Confession. They shouldn't exist ... and wouldn't, in a Moslem country, may he find himself in one.

If they don't like the statues and crucifixes they can go to another school! Cotton-picking Muslims.

Maybe one of the great legal minds here on FR could explain to this layman how it is that John F. Banzhaf III, the George Washington University Professor of Public Interest Law, could have standing to sue Catholic University.

We might need to look at some kind of ‘loser pay’ laws.

Another great idea from a fellow irishman..County Mayo is where my ancestors came from. Hope the university doesn't give in...I would be so disappointed..They don't like Christian symbols they can go back to where ever they came from...or another university that gives them what they want....just pushing to see how far they can go and if Catholics will back down to them..

What comes to mind is what Jesus said....if you deny me before men I will deny you before my heavenly father...(paraphrasing) :O)

Hope they don't do what another catholic university did by covering up symbols of Christ for a muslim(?) president of the USA.

That was shameful.
