Sharia has invaded all aspects of American life. It has crept in like a slow-moving fog, and clouded the vision of anyone who has eyes to see. Texas Wesleyan University in Ft. Worth, a Methodist affiliated university, has fully submitted to sharia. Under the guise of “interfaith” outreach, the University has created an Islamic specific prayer room facing the Ka’ba Shrine in Mecca. There is nothing interfaith about this prayer room. The word “interfaith” is a lie, and would allow anyone to think that the room would be open to all students, including Christians. Never does “interfaith” mean anything but non-Christian activities, namely New Age practices. But today, the word “interfaith” can be directly translated to mean Islam, with full sharia compliance.
Texas Wesleyan has dangerously aligned itself with Islam, like most colleges across the United States. But the Methodist affiliated private university, which doesn’t mean the school is Christian by any stretch of the imagination, is caving to sharia. All in the name of “interfaith” worship, which is surely the most outrageous claim. Islam does not co-exist. The school paper TheRambler.org’s article is undeniably deceptive in using the word “interfaith” in exchange for “Islam.”
As we all know, Texas Wesleyan is a school of many cultures and different beliefs.
Mohammed Khalid M. Alshafei, president of the Saudi Students Club at Wesleyan, had a meeting in 2012 with President Frederick Slabach asking for a prayer room to be provided as prayer is very important for the Saudi culture.
It is quite common for Saudi students to pray about five times a day, three of those times during classes or school.
This entire “interfaith” project is the work of the Saudi Students Club. This prayer room is specified to sharia standards, meeting Islamic jihad approval. Why must universities feel the need to accommodate students who pray five times a day, with three of those times being during regularly scheduled classes? This would not happen for Christian or Jewish students. Those students are forced to make other arrangements. But this is Islam, and the universities, Christian or otherwise, must accommodate them. They must submit. There is no other way.
“The reasons for this (prayer room) are twofold,” said Rev. Dr. Robert K. Flowers, Wesleyan chaplain. “One, to show hospitality to our foreign students and, two, our campus needs to be open and tolerant of other faith traditions whether it is Islam, Hindu, Jewish, or otherwise.”
The prayer room was established in 2012 and is located in the Morton Fitness Center.
The prayer room also has to face toward the Ka’ba shrine in Mecca for Islamic observances, according to www.religionfacts.com.
Perhaps the most well-known Muslim practices among non-Muslims is ritual prayer, or salat, which is performed five times a day: at dawn (al-fajr), midday (al-zuhr), afternoon (al-’asr), sunset (al-maghrib) and evening (al-’isha).
Prayer is always directed in the direction (qibla) of the Ka’ba shrine in Mecca. A prayer mat, sajjada, is commonly used during salat. Salat may be performed individually, but it carries special merit when done with other Muslims. The focal prayer of the week is the midday prayer at the mosque on Fridays.
Salat must always be preceded by ablutions (wudu’) of ritually washing the face, hands, and feet. This can be done with sand when water is not available. (Qur’an 5:6; also 2:222, 4:43.) (See Islamic-Paths.org for a detailed article on the ritual of ablutions.)
There is nothing interfaith about a prayer room that faces Mecca and meets all the specifications of the salat. The most stringent Islamists in the Middle East would be proud of this prayer room at “Christian” Texas Wesleyan University in Ft. Worth. This meets all sharia specifications. What more could an aspiring Islamic jihadist want? There is one thing missing in this interfaith prayer room.
The students are missing a sharia appropriate washroom. The fitness center they are using right now is not quite up to standards.
Another thing the Islamic students perform before praying is the washing of hands and feet.
“We have to be cleaned before we pray,” said Alshafei. “We believe that when we pray, we will be between the hands of God.”
Islamic pray starts in the standing position and moves through several postures and ends with the taslima (greeting) meaning “Peace be upon you,” according to religionfacts.com.
As CreepingSharia points out, Islam the religion of peace is responsible for 22,000 terrorist attacks since 9/11 alone. United States universities are willfully breeding jihadists. While Texas Wesleyan does not have a sharia compliant wash room, they will surely get one. After all, they have an “interfaith” prayer room facing Mecca.
Islam exists ONLY for jihad and they have now a victory under their belts.Muslim jihad is to make all the world islam by conversion or IF someone refuses conversion, then they are murdered!
Texas Wesleyan…you need to study up PROPERLY on islam with the understanding that you WERE a Christian organization.
Waitaminute, waitaminute, lemme get this straight.
A WESLEYan school with a prayer room for the desert moon demon allah and his deranged acolyte Mohamhead.
They deserve every evil that will befall them for this.
A group of Christians should get together and use the “interfaith” prayer room anytime they feel like it.
Tribal pagan ritual practice. I trust they’ll use a Jewish compass to locate the house of allah
Catered with ribs, bacon, and ham.
Inch by inch, yard by yard until before you realize it poof your culture is sub dominant. Look at Britain or Scandinavia.
If it’s a religion then this is forbidden by the no establishment of religion clause.
If it’s a world-domination movement cleverly disguised as a religion then it’s wrong to promote a violent ideology.
Either way it’s wrong.
Texas Wesleyan is a private university and likely depends on donations. Perhaps donors should show their support or displeasure with their check books. I am more concerned when public universities kowtow to Islam. Mankato State University (MN) installed foot baths in the student union building so Muslims could wash their feet before prayers. Other religious organizations offer their services in church centers just off campus... separtation of church and state don’t you know. However Muslims are allowed to do their prayers in university furnished facilities.
Spread the word among Wesleyans and cut the steady stream of donations. If they still eists you will know why they bowed to Islam,,,,tainted Muzzie money,,,

“Perhaps donors should show their support or displeasure with their check books.”
Amen to that! I graduated from a private, church-affiliated college. It was conservative when I attended but has gone over to the dark side — far to the liberal left. The last straw for me was when they invited Obama (and his teleprompter) to speak. They are getting no more money from me!
“If it’s a religion then this is forbidden by the no establishment of religion clause.”
How would the establishment clause prohibit a private university from building a prayer room for whatever religion they want?
Idiots. The sucker punch of 9/11 made not impression at all.
Technically, I haven’t a problem with this assuming it is a private university and private funds were used to build it.
True, to call it an “interfaith” room is a blatant lie unless all faiths are free to use it as they please, including Satanists.
Is this university planning to build shrines to Buddhism, Shintoism and other faiths in the interest of balance? Or perhaps it would have been smarter to let all faiths have their space off campus for these things.
I think the university could also be due for a new name.
We were very impressed with how well TCU was kept and maintained. Lots of nice little homes surrounding the campus and the buildings were were very beautiful. We then went through the Texas Wesleyan campus....it was surrounded by a rough neighborhood, Rosedale Dr. was being re-built so it was a bumpy ride, and the buildings looked pretty run down. The "Wesleyan Theatre Building", in the words of my daughter, "Seemed Legit" (we had been joking about vans with "Free Candy Inside").
This is another piece of information I can give my daughter when she decides to choose colleges.
Unbelievable! H”mm maybe not considering the secularism and rejection of Christianity of many former Christian founded universities
Oh, they’ll get it. Sooner or later this issue will drive another Civil War. If it doesn’t, then we deserve to be the dhimmi.
We’re a PRIVATE METHODIST college WITH NO OBLIGATION FOR “religious outreach”!!!!
