Muslims Miffed That Catholic University Has Catholic Imagery
Townhall.com ^ | October 30, 2011 | Doug Giles

Posted on 10/30/2011 7:51:55 AM PDT by Kaslin

Last week I was asked to lend my aging mug and highly attuned smart mouth for a documentary film regarding how the “religion of peace”—via political correctness in the public school system—is anesthetizing our kids to Islam’s malevolence toward all things American.

Like a good trooper I acquiesced (to the producer’s delight) and gave my best shot at trying to wake dull parents up to the fact that their dense kids are getting a steady diet of “Christianity, Judaism and America suck” and “Islam is awesome” from their local Marxist schoolmarm on a Monday through Friday basis. The director says there’s already a pre-Oscar buzz surrounding my performance. I am beautiful. Christina Aquavelva said so.


Anyway, no sooner did that week end than a new week began with a fresh ladle of Muslim petulance tossed in America’s face. It seems that an investigation has been sparked by Muslim “outrage” against a Catholic university (called Catholic University) for being, well, Catholic. Evidently Muslim students feel their human rights have been violated by not getting special digs on campus, minus Catholic imagery, to do their daily prayers on college grounds.

Let’s see, what can I compare this situation to? Hmmm. Dig deep, Doug, dig deep. Channel your inner Dennis Miller. I’ve got it! That’s like going to Hooters and being offended at all the bodacious hooters bouncing about. People don’t go to Hooters for their chicken wings; it’s called Hooters. Hoot-ers. Hooters. Geez, people. What the heck did you expect, students? It’s called Catholic University for a reason.


Human rights violated? That’s rich. Yes, let’s talk about human rights violations with Islam, shall we? How many Christians were killed in Egypt this week?

In the latest installment of how Islam is enacting their not-so-stealthy-any-longer jihad on America via our schools, Muslims are now taking on Catholic University for their Catholic art and imagery that insults delicate Muslim sensibilities.

This is nonsense. It’s another test to see how far we’ll bend over and take it like Europe has (to their own demise). It will not end with this one college, I guarantee. Who’s next? I’m thinkin’ Notre Dame.


Look, I’m not a Catholic and don’t work for good old CU, but if I did I’d be ticked and would stand my Catholic ground. I’d start swinging incense pots like a ninja warrior working a pair of nunchucks at any group trying to eradicate our cherished traditions and vision for our established university.

Here’s a thought: If you, as a Muslim, don’t like Catholic stuff, you might not want to go to Catholic University. Similarly, when I was seeking out an institution at which to do my grad work I immediately scratched Rosie O’Donnell University off my list.

Why? Well, I didn’t care to look at the paintings of her and her bulbous neck scattered about the campus, nor did I want to pay money to hear her bogus thoughts regarding how the world should tick peddled in the classroom.

This common sense approach to school selection makes me highly suspicious of this special treatment Muslims are demanding in our institutions and what their charges are really—really—all about. Stand your ground, Catholic U.

First of all the university is a private school and none of the Muslim students have complained. Second the lawsuit was filed by John F. Banzhaf III, the George Washington University Professor of Public Interest Law who initiated the legal controversy surrounding same-sex residence halls, is also the one behind these new charges.

If memory serves from a Banzahf TV interview, he is making this complaint without a single Muslim student as a “client.”

Did Banzahf argue the Obama case before Norte Dame? If child abuse wasn’t enough, the Church turns it back on its expressed principles.

They’re fifth columnists, but they got the inspiration from Obama, telling Georgetown to cover up the cross and insignia.

If anyone said anything against a Muslim school they would get their head cut off.

Banzhaf is also a publicity hound, suing to get his daily requirement for airtime.

Years ago he actually demanded a similar govt investigation because dry cleaners charged more to clean a women’s blouse than a man’s shirt. Half the dry cleaners in D.C. probably have trouble with English, and he unleashed the wrath of government on them. But he presents himself as defender of the little guy.

Private school or not, do they take taxpayer dollars?

You’re absolutely right! He is a professional litigator - in addition to being a professor at GW Law school, always making trouble, using “lawfare” to correct imagined wrongs. This guy isn’t happy unless he is causing trouble and his name is in the news somehow ... he was a “community organizer” before it became fashionable!

"First of all the university is a private school and none of the Muslim students have complained."

So what if they DO complain?????

I'm not Catholic. But is there anybody stupid enough to think that a Catholic University should not devote itself entirely to Catholic doctrine and the Catholic point of view????

I saw this man on TV. He said that it is illegal for a Catholic university to discriminate on the basis of religion. If that be so, the law needs to be changed.

The point is, that this is a private University not a public school
