Duke University is one of the most politically correct campuses in the nation, a title for which there is abundant competition. Chick-fil-A’s outlet on campus closed in 2013, after its contract expired in the wake of concerns expressed by the LGBT Center.
But now comes news that the Muslim call to prayer, the adhan, will echo from the bell tower of the Duke chapel – Duke’s most iconic structure – every Friday, electronically amplified. CNN:
Starting Friday, the Duke Muslim Students Association will chant the call, or adhan, from the Duke Chapel bell tower. The adhan signals the beginning of the weekly prayer service. It's ubiquitous in Muslim countries the world over; not so in the Carolina piedmont.
The call will last three minutes and will be only "moderately amplified," the school said.
Duke, which got its start in the late 19th century with help from the Methodist church, says the move "represents a larger commitment to religious pluralism that is at the heart of Duke's mission."
I wonder how the LGBT Center feels about this. Islam calls for the killing of homosexuals. If mere opposition to same-sex marriage is cause for outrage, how about the killing of homosexuals?
Breitbart reports:
Duke University has a long history of fostering political correctness and hypersensitivity, from Chick-Fil-A’s removal from campus, to hosting a the national Palestinian Solidarity Movement conference, and to canceling a pro-life event in their Women’s Center on campus.

Sage decision by the Duke brain-trust. This should keep the terrorists from attacking them until most of the other institutions are ground to rubble. :/
I like their basketball team; the rest of it can go f*c*k off!
it is properly called colonization
How many homosexuals has Chick-Fil-A hung from cranes in the last decade?.................
You won’t hear a peep from the gay community about this.
This is one of the most shocking news stories I’ve read in a long, long time. I don’t think people really grasp the significance of this.
For starters, imagine you are a student there.
Am I still in America?
This is quite true or bttt. While Christine Amanpour received criticism (perhaps correctly) for calling the Charles Hebido(sp) killers activists, she may have been a freudian slip on her part. To Christine Amanpour and her Muslim friends, the terrorists in Paris may very well be activists because they got up off their asses and performed acts that most Muslims believe in but don't have the... cojones to do. The Paris terrorists are activists to Muslims and their fellow travelers because they are the ones who take the big risks (death, wounds, imprisonment). Millions of Muslims (a small minority on their part) engage in terrorism and over one billion agree with it.
Nailed it.
FR needs a “like” button.
RE: You wont hear a peep from the gay community about this.
They don’t want their heads lopped off.
Am I still in America...? Yes if you’re a liberal
They only like the homo-hating Muslims because they kill Americans.
Close, but it’s Christ and His People that the left really hate, and will side with anyone else with this common Enemy.
I see what you did there. ;-)
Allah: Please help me your most humble servant, seek out and behead all of the homos here at Duke, starting with the lesbo head of the Department of Women’s Studies. Then, allah, guide my had as I perform genital mutilation on the women of Duke.
RE: Am I still in America?
Yes, America under Sharia...
Where once they just rejected the "military/industrial complex" and accepted sexual mores, they had to reach further out outside normalcy to prove their counter-culture chops. They could embrace Canadians, who are reflexively anti-American but in a polite and faux-concerned way, but that was quickly outstripped by the race to suck up to the ideology most inimical to tradtional values, Islam.
About all that is left is to find a race of completely hostile space aliens to celebrate.
That's what a "Moderate" Muslim is, someone who just doesn't want to get the blood on their hands.
Cut off ALL public funding to Duke University now!
Sucking Up is not going let you keep your head
