Duke University changes its “adhan” mind

Posted on by

Duke UniversityFor 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.

The mainstreaming of Islam in America

And it’s continuing at Duke University.

Adhan Islam Call to PrayerFrom NewsNinja2012.com:

Duke Muslim students to begin weekly call-to-prayer from chapel tower

by Wayne Dupree

DURHAM, NC – Members of the Duke Muslim Students Association will chant a weekly call-to-prayer from the Duke Chapel bell tower beginning Friday, Jan. 16.

The chant, called the “adhan,” announces the start of the group’s jummah prayer service, which takes place in the chapel basement each Friday at 1 p.m. The service is open to the public.

The chant lasts about three minutes and will be moderately amplified.

Just precisely what this country needs.  More mainstreaming of Islam in the nation.  We fail to see what Multi-Kulti and the hugging of Islam is doing in Europe though it’s right in front of our eyes.

Because of it, France and Germany and other European countries are going to experience a rather nasty, predictable and totally avoidable backlash.

We’re next.

En vacanza, de los Pacificos

Posted on by

20131027_170608-AAs I write this, it is Monday afternoon.  I can hear the waves crashing from the Pacific Ocean.  This is a far different sound than what I heard on Sunday morning when I was loading the car for the trip.

My wife lives in what I term Ghetto Centrale in Elk Grove (Elk Grove: otherwise known as Baja Mack Road) in a house that isn’t worth the cost of a box of Junior Mints — okay, granted, a large box of Junior Mints.

It is surrounded by rental homes and thump trucks and thump cars and gangstas and those on probation and parole.  The emaciated black dude four houses down slings dope at night.  His toothless ancient white pot-bellied girlfriend scuffs her shoes past the house once a day, picking things off the street.  The people sit on the front steps or in their garages, watching those who drive or walk down the street.  It’s like being under a microscope; because no one works, everyone knows when you come and go.

Then, this Sunday, I awakened to a noise I heard from inside the house.  It sounded like something over a distant megaphone.  Was it — what we normally hear at night over a loudspeaker — the sheriff’s helo telling people to stay in their houses?

I went outside to listen and confirm: no, it wasn’t.

It was instead a Muslim call to prayer.

I could hear the speaker, at great volume, but a distance away, announce the words in a single male trilling voice, dissonant but discernible as same.

I thought: that’s it.  We’re leaving.  RTFN.

And we did.

P.S.
More to come, from the Pacific coast.
