Muslim call to prayer to sound at Duke University

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.”

I wish someone would explain to me how they end up all over the place. When they immigrated did they say “I’m going to Utah.” And that’s all they had to say?

I've never seen everything Islam he's supported listed like that before. Shocking to say the least. It demonstrates the danger our country is truly in at the hands of this alien to our Judeo-Christian nation.

...to be fair, I never heard of it happening much after graduation, and never for political reasons. But with the level of pure hatred on the left, it would not surprise me a bit if they would set up people with bogus charges, and then pull their degrees.

BS! The camel’s nose is in the tent.

He saw how well the elephant was doing in the room; so why not get in the tent himself!

Sounds to me like an “all day lawyers bait” should the school try to pull a degree after graduation for any reason but massive FRaud.

Gonna be some lawyers get rich at taxpayer expense should the school do something like that.

Ping to post 111. Some sort of good news in a ludicrous swamp of insanity.

Some Christian donors and alumni finally got fed up enough to threaten funds cutting. That’s what it takes.

That’s exactly what it takes.

Thanks for the ping.

Money talks.

Methodists should still be up in arms over this and should still try to get the call removed from campus

Pull all funding until it is gone from campus.

Keep calling and stating your opinions

Exceptions will include medical conditions, theatrical production requests from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints media and drama departments, as well as religious observance and practice, according to the new standards published on Wednesday by the university in Provo, 50 miles (80 km) south of Salt Lake City.

BYU spokeswoman Carri Jenkins said religious cases, including for example beards worn by Sikh and Muslim students, will be worked out in coordination with the school's chaplain.

Worked out????

Kinda...


Instead, the prayers will be moved to outside the chapel.

“Members of the Muslim community will now gather on the quadrangle outside the Chapel, a site of frequent interfaith programs and activities,” Schoenfeld said.

The university did not say whether the Muslim call to prayer would be “moderately amplified” at the new location.
