Muslim call to prayer to sound at Duke University

A weekly call to prayer for Muslims will be heard at Duke University starting Friday, school officials said.

Members of the Duke Muslim Students Association will chant the call, known as adhan or azan, from the Duke Chapel bell tower each Friday at 1 p.m. The call to prayer will last about three minutes and be “moderately amplified,” officials said in a statement Tuesday.

“The adhan is the call to prayer that brings Muslims back to their purpose in life, which is to worship God, and serves as a reminder to serve our brothers and sisters in humanity,” said Imam Adeel Zeb, Muslim chaplain at Duke. “The collective Muslim community is truly grateful and excited about Duke’s intentionality toward religious and cultural diversity.”

If I were a non-Muslim Duke student, alumni, or donor, I'd be getting mighty offended right now.

Money should talk louder than the call to prayer.

This sh** has got to stop. Next up…no pork of any kind in the cafeteria. If my daughter went to school there, I’d pull her out. I would not help fund such idiocy.

And yet, the American taxpayer will continue to sacrifice to send their offspring to these Liberal institutions so that the demise of America might be accelerated. Doctors, lawyers, professors, etc. who are a direct threat to everything America stands for have been pumped out of these Orc factories for decades at our expense and with our blessing. Yet, we wonder why our nation is in its death throes.

Muslim prayers include the cursing of Jews and Christians. I guess this is diversity??

My son was accepted into Duke but declined because of the Lacrosse fiasco. I would be livid if I was forking out that kind of money for that nonsense.

In further news, Duke has announced that it will no longer filed a team in NCAA football out of respect for Muslim’s irrational fear of pigs.

Excellent point.

Libs never seem to go after Muslim free exercise of religion, just Christians.

I guess that’s a good way to not be shot.

Separation of church and state? If Christian Church bells were rung I am sure the officials would make sure that stopped. . .
