Is this really happening?

Muslims at Catholic University, a private school, say the crosses and religious symbols on campus are offensive.

FOX News reported: http://radio.foxnews.com/toddstarnes/to ... osses.html

The Washington, D.C. Office of Human Rights confirmed that it is investigating allegations that Catholic University violated the human rights of Muslim students by not allowing them to form a Muslim student group and by not providing them rooms without Christian symbols for their daily prayers.

The investigation alleges that Muslim students “must perform their prayers surrounded by symbols of Catholicism – e.g., a wooden crucifix, paintings of Jesus, pictures of priests and theologians which many Muslim students find inappropriate.â€

I'm sorry, this is a CATHOLIC University! The Muslims KNEW this when they enrolled... if it's so damn offensive may I suggest they enroll in another University?

Yes it's a catholic university What part didn't they understand???

That's what I thought too--what part of CATHOLIC did they not get?! If they want rooms to pray and meditate, they should either go to a public university or--hey, what about this--a MUSLIM school!!

I'm offended that they're offended and want everyone to kow-tow to their beliefs in this majority Christian country!

I'm offended that they continually attack anything Christian or not Islam.

I'm offended that they want to build a Muslim cultural center at 9-11 ground zero.

I'm offended that they think anyone not Muslim is an infidel.

I'm really offended that many of the so-called American Muslims even want to KILL me!

So as far as I'm concerned, they can go suck sewer-water...

Watch this video from Hannity last night. I wanted to strangle the muslim activist.

And the DC Human Rights Commission is taking it seriously

Muslims at Catholic University complain about crosses

I don't know what's sillier; Muslims attending a Christian university expecting to find space in the school's public areas without Christian symbols, or the DC Commission on Human Rights taking this complaint seriously.

Fox News: http://radio.foxnews.com/toddstarnes/to ... osses.html

The complaint was filed by John Banzhaf, an attorney and professor at George Washington University Law School. Banzhaf has been involved in previous litigation against the school involving the same-sex residence halls. He also alleged in his complaint involving Muslim students that women at the university were being discriminated against. You can read more on those allegations by clicking here.

Banzhaf said some Muslim students were particularly offended because they had to meditate in the school's chapels "and at the cathedral that looms over the entire campus - the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception."

"It shouldn't be too difficult somewhere on the campus for the university to set aside a small room where Muslims can pray without having to stare up and be looked down upon by a cross of Jesus," he told Fox News.

A spokesman for Catholic University released a statement to Fox News indicating they had not seen any legal filings - but would respond once they do.

"Our faithfulness to our Catholic tradition has also made us a welcome home to students of other religions," said Victor Nakas, associate vice president for public affairs. "No students have registered complaints about the exercise of their religions on our campus."

In a 2010 interview with National Public Radio, university president John Garvey acknowledged that they don't set aside prayer rooms for Muslim students.

"We make classrooms available, or our chapels are places where they can pray," he told NPR. "We don't offer Halal meat, although there are always meals that conform to Halal regulations, that allow students to do what they want."

Banzhaf said that it is technically not illegal for Catholic University to refuse to provide rooms devoid of religious icons.

Of course it is "technically not illegal." Catholic University is a private school and can make its own rules regarding the spaces offered to groups representing other religions. It can also refuse to accept Muslim students and be well within their rights.

For the Muslim students, I would suggest a transfer. The symbol of the cross should be meaningless to them. As should pictures of saints and other Christian icons. And as for pictures of theologians and the like, are they trying to say that ordinary people of the Catholic faith offends them, or distracts them from their prayers? Pretty darn sensitive Muslims, if you ask me.

Why it bothers them speaks more to their own intolerance and hate than any "human rights violation" of the school or its administration.

[b][size=150]Do Crosses at Catholic University Violate “Human Rightsâ€

AMERICANS MUST STAND AGAINST MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD

By Dr. Laurie Roth
October 28, 2011
NewsWithViews.com

The insertion of radical Islam, largely Muslim Brotherhood is happening through out the Middle East and in parts of Africa. The latest method of intrusion and radical Islamic take over is with ‘Arab Spring’. Those Islamics marching for democracy were simply used and muted by the Muslim Brotherhood’s plans for total take over.

Things are going as planned and Obama and his handlers couldn’t be happier. Global controls, regulations and rules combined with encroaching Fundamentalist Islam is the double barrel shot gun that threatens to take down America, Israel and the West. Right now, it is attempting to transform the Middle East into an Islamic radical, Muslim Brotherhood zone.

I recently interviewed Rev. Lainie Dowell, http://www.voiceink.blogspot.com/ an author and political activist who has studied in depth Barack Obama, Islam and the African nations push to create the United States of Africa. She said from her research that this had been going on since the 1960s and she believed that Barack Obama wanted to be the head of this after he destroyed America. Kadafi, who we assassinated recently was the known pick to run this 55 state confederation and emerging super power.

Interestingly, Sher Zieve, another hard hitting commentator also told me that she had seen an interview on You Tube with Van Jones, talking to school kids. When asked by a child what Obama would do after he was done being President, Van Jones said Obama might rule the world. This was quickly scrubbed but not before many heard those words from his own lips. So…..is America simply a stepping stone to worldwide control?

What have we seen from Obama

It is not a paranoid ‘tin helmet’ or racist moment that I have noticed Obama’s submission and devotion to Islam. Almost immediately when getting into office Obama gave Islamic radical and terrorist group Hamas over 900 million dollars. We saw Obama’s first trip to Saudi Arabia, where he bowed down low to the Saudi King. We then saw Obama stand against Israel and for Turkey when Israeli commandos confronted the Turkish armada taking supplies to the Gaza. Israel had intelligence that the Turkish ships weren’t just delivering food and medicine but also weapons and potential terrorists. They were right. Terrorists on their list and weapons were discovered yet the sold out news and Obama looked the other way as they rebuked Israel….again.

The attacks and insults have continued against Israel as the kiss up to Islam has grown. We saw Hillary and Biden practically get their knickers in a twist when Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu planned to go ahead and build homes on their own sovereign property. These weren’t remote ‘settlements’ as the media and Obama manipulated, but 5 minutes from downtown Jerusalem. There was nothing ridiculous, extreme, or remote about their building projects. It was simple anti Semitism and Islamic controls that couldn’t possibly have this. Obama played it perfectly… for a Muslim that is.

Just when the insults against Israel about blew me down, it got even more arrogant. Obama started pressuring Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to go back to the 1967 borders. That was not just absurd of Obama but also would expose Israel to deadly attacks and make them indefensible. Thankfully, Israel said no thank you.

Bringing it all the way home with Arab Spring, Libya, Egypt

What was touted by Obama as an American duty to defend desperate freedom fighters in Libya, transformed quickly into an illegal war, breaching the 1973 war powers act. Obama bypassed our congress, bowed down to the UN and started spending billions while putting our troops in harms way. Soon we learned the freedom fighters were linked with Al Kae Da, so it was in large part, bad guys fighting bad guys. Kadafi had not been attacking America, or our interests. We didn’t even get oil from him, so why in God’s green earth did Obama put us there? I think it was to establish more rigid Muslim controls world wide. He knew once Kadafi was gone, rigid sharia would rule and it has. Oh….but first we had to get rid of Kadafi, so we found him and assassinated him.

Interestingly, from Rev. Lainie Dowell’s research on the emerging United States of Africa, she found that Kadafi was to be the first President of this new super power, now he is gone. Gee…..isn’t it convenient that Kadafi is gone. I wonder who might end up being the President of the United States of Africa now?

Obama has quickly supported the Muslim Brotherhood, why?

Just as soon as Egypt and President Hosni Mubarak’s rule was being challenged by protestors as Arab Spring unfolded, Obama immediately backed the Muslim Brotherhood which had been circling their radical wagons to control what was moderate Egypt. Now Muslim Brotherhood has taken over, dozens of Coptic Christians are being threatened and murdered, Christian churches are being burned to the ground and Sharia controls are growing. Oh yes, threats to Israel.

Through out the Middle East, the financed and organized Muslim Brotherhood is taking over, using the planned ‘Arab Spring’ to push their dominating Islamic force forward. This whole thing was long ago planned.

According to Jihad Watch, President Obama’s own father, Barack Obama senior was a member of the Muslim Brotherhood for 30 years. Bringing it home even further, Obama has at least 3 high level Muslim Brotherhood members working for him. One is a key speech writer for Obama and another, Azizah al-Hibri heads the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom.

With all this emphasis on come together, Muslim brotherhood, Arab spring democracy values, I just had to review what Muslim Brotherhood stood for and their beliefs.

Muslim Brotherhood in a snapshot

They were started by Hassan al – Banna in 1928 after the collapse of the Ottman Empire. They oppose secular behaviors in Islamic nations, huge supporters of strict Sharia law. Their motto: “Allah is our objective. The Prophet is our leader. Qur’an is our law. Jihad is our way. Dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope.â€

They simply should apply to a public University.

I take offense to their offense of our symbols of Christianity such as crosses, PICTURES OF JESUS, who is our lords and savior to Christians around the world. 1.5 billion Catholics and 29,000 protestant churches worldwide.

The National Basillica in Washington, D.C. is right on the site as well. It's dedicated to Mother Mary, Patron of America to Catholics.

If they have a problem leave and stop insulting Christianity.
The door swings both ways.
