Duke University reverses decision to allow Muslim call to prayer

Duke University has reversed it’s decision to allow Muslim call to prayer called adhan or something. Duke University’s previously announced that every Friday, Muslims would do their adhan call to prayer from the Duke Chapel bell tower. Non-Muslims were outraged, and this blew up in Duke University’s face. It caused such an outrage that Duke University announced today they are cancelling their plans to let Muslims do their adhan every Friday. GOOD!

Duke University reverses decision to allow Muslim call to prayer

Duke University reversed it’s decision to allow the “adhan”–Muslim call to prayer to be broadcast across campus every Friday.

Yesterday, the University was extremely supportive of the initiative and said that it would enhance the religious plurality on campus.

Well, enough people weighed in on the decision and now the school has decided to not allow the weekly “adhan” to take place–effectively beginning tomorrow.

Heavyweights in North Carolina such as Franklin Graham, son of well-known Evangelist Billy Graham, denounced Duke’s actions and played a significant role in the reversal of the new initiative.
