Muslims Feel Violated at Catholic University

Here is one for the file titled, "THE STUPIDEST STUFF I HAVE EVER HEARD"

It would seem that some Muslim students who are attending a Catholic University are offended by all the Christian symbols scattered all over the university and it is infringing on their human rights and sometimes is distracting them from their prayers to Allah.

The Washington, D.C. Office of Human Rights confirmed that it is investigating allegations that Catholic University violated the human rights of Muslim students by not allowing them to form a Muslim student group and by not providing them rooms without Christian symbols for their daily prayers.

Banzhaf said some Muslim students were particularly offended because they had to meditate in the school’s chapels “and at the cathedral that looms over the entire campus – the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception.”

The investigation alleges that Muslim students “must perform their prayers surrounded by symbols of Catholicism – e.g., a wooden crucifix, paintings of Jesus, pictures of priests and theologians which many Muslim students find inappropriate.”

A spokesperson for the Office of Human Rights told Fox News they had received a 60-page complaint against the private university. The investigation, they said, could take as long a six months.

In most Muslim nations you can get some pretty harsh treatment for even being a Christian...but ONLY in America can Muslims get a Catholic school in trouble for having Catholic symbols on the University.

I suppose next the Muslims are going to go to the University of Minnesota and say that the gopher-rodent pictures all over the campus are interrupting their meditation and prayers and demand that the Gopher mascot be removed....as to not offend their human rights...because gophers are unclean animals in Muslim land...don't you know.

Thanks Tom F. for sending me this article and getting me all wound up right before bedtime.
