Why don’t the islamics practice their religion in their own country such as Saudi Arabia, Syria, Yemen, Pakistan, etc. Bullies!

The Christians should just kick their asses. Drag their bath robes through the mud and everything.

Do the Christian students let them get away with it?

I have no problem with anyone practicing their religion in this country. The problem is when a group of people (thugs) hijack and intimidate other groups of people at a public university's public space that's intended for all of it's students to use for meditation and/or prayer.

Every one of these students pays tuition (in one way or another) to attend this University, receive an education and use the University provided facilities.

This is an example of extreme prejudice, bigotry and intimidation.

Somebody ought to get a white sheet on with a blood red cross, a 6 foot claymore, go in there and start praying. I bet you no one would try any intimidation then.

There’s only one thing the college leaders will undertsand: a class action lawsuit by Christians, demanding a unique prayer/meditation space for every single religion existing in the campus population, equal in space and amenities to the Islamists’, as well as prayer breaks for any student as the student desires.

To be honest, I don't think this is something the students themselves should be addressing. What are they going to do? Engage in shouting matches, shoving, or worse? This is something the University Administration needs to address ASAP.

If it were me that they tried to bully, you bet I’d get in a shoving, fighting match. Then the University would have to address it.

Come on, GMU! Find a gut. Shut it down and explain why. “The muzzles won’t play nice.” Of course, they never do.

Joseph Sorgini, senior government and international politics major, spoke of an encounter in the meditation space when he went to go pray a rosary in March.“I had no sooner finished “and the Holy Spirit, Amen” in my head when two men approached me and asked me to get up,” Sorgini said. “I was hesitant at first, so one of the individuals responded with the statement ‘What ever you have in your hand there, you can not use that here.’”

Sorgini was told by the men, who identified themselves as members of MSA but would not say their names, that the Space was an area designated for Muslim prayer use. He was told that he should have removed his shoes as well.

“I apologized for the confusion, but told him that I was made aware that this space was open for all religions or those who use meditation for non-religious purposes to use,” Sorgini said. “The first male, who had responded earlier about the rosary in my hand, told me that this was not true, and asked that I leave. Not wanting to find myself in the middle of an argument, I exchanged goodbyes with them, and left the area.”

So much for “tolerance”, “mutual respect” and “assimilation”.

Just reload one of those time-based air fresheners with...
extracts from pig tissues.
Place in "shared room" and leave it to the Muslims.

Stand back and watch what happens when the "winner" Muslims get
a letter next Ramadan that they've been sprayed with pig micro-particulates
for the past year in the room they so triumphantly "won".

Ridiculous, isn’t it? It makes me wonder if this is a widespread phenomenon in this country. Something tells me it is.
