The move to authorize the call to prayer from the chapel had roiled social media and led to a denunciation from evangelist Franklin Graham.

Franklin Graham's FB page "denunciation":

"Duke University announced today that they will have a Muslim call to prayer from their chapel bell tower every Friday. As Christianity is being excluded from the public square and followers of Islam are raping, butchering, and beheading Christians, Jews, and anyone who doesn’t submit to their Sharia Islamic law, Duke is promoting this in the name of religious pluralism. I call on the donors and alumni to withhold their support from Duke until this policy is reversed."

Recent Graham post today:

The Muslim call to prayer that has been approved to go out across the campus of Duke University every Friday afternoon for three minutes includes “Allahu Akbar”—the words that the terrorists shouted at the onset of last week’s massacre in Paris. It includes the proclamation that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.

Will evangelical Christians be allowed the same three minutes weekly to broadcast the message across campus that God Almighty of the Bible sent His Son Jesus Christ to offer forgiveness of sins and salvation to all who will repent, believe, and call on His Name? Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me” (John 14:6)."

Reversed decision from Duke:

"Jummah prayers have taken place in the basement of Duke Chapel for many years, and start with the traditional call to prayer chant. Members of the Muslim community will now gather for the call-to-prayer chant on the quadrangle outside the Chapel, a site of frequent interfaith programs and activities, before moving to their regular location for prayers."

Hmmm...

Seems the opinion of average Americans has been heard! well done!

[grobdriver]

it was clear that what was conceived as an effort to unify was not having the intended effect

Duh!
Ya think?

“Duke University has reversed itself, and announced Thursday afternoon it will not allow a Muslim call to prayer Friday from its iconic cathedral.”

Reverend Graham and the alumnus have spoken. LOL!

[Plinky]

Why on earth should they allow Muslim prayers in their cathedral? Do Muslims allow Christian prayer in their mosque? What a ridiculous idea of “diversity”. Worship in your own way and in your own place! Jeepers, people today are ridiculous.

Duke ought to increase campus security

[eyedigress]

If Muslims who declare this a religion of peace, cannot declare it so, the Christians shall deal with it.

[Proud2BeRight]

Now the campus won’t get to enjoy “One of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset”.

““As Christianity is being excluded from the public square and followers of Islam are raping, butchering, and beheading Christians, Jews, and anyone who doesn’t submit to their Sharia Islamic law, Duke is promoting this in the name of religious pluralism,” Graham wrote on Facebook.

In an interview Thursday before the reversal, Graham told The Charlotte Observer that Duke should not allow the chapel to be used for the call to prayer. “It’s wrong because it’s a different god,” he said. “Using the bell tower, that signifies worship of Jesus Christ. Using (it) as a minaret is wrong.”

That’s pretty strong.

Too late!! That bell has already been rung!! Expose and fire the a$$holes who made the decision in the first place.

[TYVets]

The original plan drew the ire of evangelist Franklin Graham, who urged Duke alumni to withhold support because of violence against Christians that he attributed to Muslims

Bingo

[b4its2late]

Good. But how long will it stand is another matter.
