Default Minnesota College Promoting Islam?

In the past I've mentioned how dangerous it is for this country to embrace Islam while foolishly throwing Christianity out the window. Well here's another perfect example of that.

Quote:
Its officials say the college, a public institution, has a strict policy of not promoting religion or favoring one religion over another.
Quote:
Where Christianity is concerned, the college goes to great lengths to avoid any hint of what the courts call "entanglement" or support of the church. Yet the college is planning to install facilities for Muslims to use in preparing for daily prayers, an apparent first at a public institution in Minnesota.
Quote:
So the college is making plans to use taxpayer funds to install facilities for ritual foot-washing.
Quote:
A memo from Cusick and President Phil Davis, dated Nov. 28, 2006, exhorted supervisors to banish any public display of holiday cheer: "As we head into the holiday season ... "all public offices and areas should refrain from displays that may represent to our students, employees or the public that the college is promoting any particular religion."

Last year, college authorities caught one rule-breaker red-handed. A coffee cart that sells drinks and snacks played holiday music "tied to Christmas," and "complaints and concerns" were raised, according to a faculty e-mail. College authorities quickly quashed the practice.

Anything wrong with this?

My brother-in-law is a convert to Islam(don't get me started!) and he claims he needs no special facilities to practice his faith. So, why are they spending money on this?

We was called the melting pot for some reason. But as I have seen it,Nothing is melting together.So we go back in history and get the answers from our constitutional fathers. We look at the past when we need answers for the future. I just think they are making a stink about it and keeping our eyes off of other acts in this country that is not getting no news about.

Any competant metallurgist can attest that not all metals can alloy with others, and some just plain don't want to. I think it's a total crock of sheit that they're kow- towing to the muslims at taxpayer expense, or at all for that matter.

"They appear to take a very different attitude toward Islam. Welcome and accommodation are the order of the day for the college's more than 500 Muslim students. The college has worked with local Muslim leaders to ensure that these students' prayer needs and concerns are adequately addressed, Davis told me."

This makes me wanna puke.

If the school has a Christian prayer chapel, I say so what? If they don't, they'd better start building one...
