For background, please see my post here, in which Duke University on Wednesday okayed a weekly Muslim call to prayer, termed an adhan, from the Duke chapel tower. This was done in order to continue “norming” Islam across America and to favor it over other religions.
Now, apparently, the tide has turned.
From FoxNews.com:
Duke backs down, cancels Muslim call to prayer from chapel tower
by Todd Starnes
Duke University has abandoned its plan to transform the bell tower on the Methodist school’s neo-gothic cathedral into a minaret where the Muslim call to prayer was to be publicly broadcast.
“Duke remains committed to fostering an inclusive, tolerant and welcoming campus for all of its students,” university spokesman Michael Schoenfeld said in a statement. “However, it was clear that what was conceived as an effort to unify was not having the intended effect.”
Why, do you suppose?
Because it made Duke look like the GOWP pandering, pablum-supping fools they are — and because the issue became plastered all over the Blogosphere and social media, ably abetted by your humble servant.
You’re welcome.

Duke University Administration. Proof that an education does not prevent you from being a stupid-ass.
True, Sir Schmoe. Which brings up this age-old adage:
“You may be educated. But what have you learned?”

“From ISIS to Boko Haram to Al Qaeda, Muslims in the media are portrayed as angry aggressors driven by values that are anti-education and anti-western,” she ( Christy Lohr Sapp, Duke’s associate dean for religious life) wrote in her column.
Is she saying that ISIS, BH and AQ are falsely being portrayed by the media? That they are NOT aggressors?? That they are not anti western and anti education? And she is a DEAN? She is an IDIOT.
Glad Duke backed down and glad to see Franklin Graham is not apologetic. At all.
At least Duke found the balls to say no. My stupid state universities wouldve just called everyone xenophobes, chained themselves to barrels of concrete in the middle of the highway during morning rush hour and we’d be listening to the Muslim Call to Prayer on Monday.
