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.

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.
