Durham, N.C. — A weekly call to prayer for Muslims will be heard at Duke University starting Friday, school officials said.
Members of the Duke Muslim Students Association will chant the call, known as adhan or azan, from the Duke Chapel bell tower each Friday at 1 p.m. The call to prayer will last about three minutes and be “moderately amplified,” officials said in a statement Tuesday.
“The adhan is the call to prayer that brings Muslims back to their purpose in life, which is to worship God, and serves as a reminder to serve our brothers and sisters in humanity,” said Imam Adeel Zeb, Muslim chaplain at Duke. “The collective Muslim community is truly grateful and excited about Duke’s intentionality toward religious and cultural diversity.”

Yes Christy, good job.
Have you been out to shop for a burka yet?
The suicide of America continues.
and they ring the bells every Sunday morning, too, right?
Sick
Insane.....This is not a muslim country.
Garbage - west is circling the drain
Idiocy.
Double standards.
I hope all these enlightened students and faculty will enjoy life under sharia law.
I wonder if any Duke students will protest?
I would not want to hear this crap at any time.
worship God, and serves as a reminder to serve our brothers and sisters in humanity,”
Serve? This is the first I have heard of this. Have muslims always been cannibals?
Just SICK!!!
That’s such a beautiful chapel too. If I were a Jihadist, I wouldn’t want my prayer being sounded out from such a place.
As if they already needed one, this will probably give them a serious reason to blow the damn place up.....
“call to prayer that brings Muslims back to their purpose in life, which is jihod”. Now we have it straight.
“I wonder if any Duke students will protest?”
Not if they want to stay enrolled. Most likely they could also have their degrees pulled from them for up to 5 years after they graduate. That was the case at ESU, where I went, at least. The rule was mainly to give them a way to get at you after your graduate, if they later figure out that you cheated your way through.
But I don’t see why the same rule couldn’t be used for committing a hate crime soon after graduation (the “hate crime”, of course, is supporting something that the faculty doesn’t approve of).
They cannot pull your degree 5 years later because they don’t like what you say or do. The reason they can for cheating is that you obtained it by fraud and that is probably the statute of limitations for that.
The students need to play Sousa Marches at full volume when the camel jockey anthem plays. Say you are an enthusiast of 1898 music. Say nothing about moslems. Act surprised if they bring it up.
That is dissappointing
Its the thing about “multiculturalism” for the likes of Duke Administrators. Its worn like a fashionable outfit.
It means nothing about actually understanding other cultures.
Fine, just play Amazing Grace at Noon. If the call to prayer has words, then Amazing Grace should be a vocal, not solely an instrumental, version.
Sounds great to me!
Amazing Grace Lyrics
John Newton (1725-1807)
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
T’was Grace that taught my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come;
‘Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far
and Grace will lead me home.
The Lord has promised good to me.
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
The following stanza was written by an an anonymous author, often replacing the sixth stanza, or inserted as the fourth.
When we’ve been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun.
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’ve first begun.
Chorus:
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
