Duke University To Broadcast Weekly Muslim Prayer

By V. Saxena, January 14, 2015.

Duke University plans to begin broadcasting a weekly Muslim prayer, reports the WRAL TV station:

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.”

As a result, the entire Duke University campus will get the undesired opportunity to briefly pretend they live in Pakistan, where such sorts of prayers are broadcast all day long. Plus, a Christian-designated building will get to suffer the indignity of another religion.

And all this because Duke University wants to promote “religious pluralism,” aka tolerance. Call me crazy, but allowing for the existence of a Duke Muslim Students Association seems like more than enough tolerance to me. Going so far as to permit the group to broadcast its prayer to everybody – that seems like pure insanity!
