US University Feels Heat of Muslim Demands...
MSA at George Mason Demands Prayer Room, Islamic Education Center
At George Mason University, where the Muslim Student Association recently staged a thuggish disruption of a speech by John Lewis (about which the administration did nothing), Muslim students have taken over the school’s “Quiet Meditation Space” and turned it into a mosque, with separate areas for men and women.
Infidels not welcome.
Controversy over the meditation room located on the third floor of the Johnson Center has become a growing concern for students due to space limitations, religious practices, and conflicting needs and uses.
While Muslim students of George Mason University use the space for prayer five times daily, non-Muslim students also use the space for prayer and meditation to a lesser extent.
Non-Muslims use it “to a lesser extent” because they are told to leave if they try to enter with shoes, and females and males are made to stay in separate areas.
But that’s not enough for the MSA. Now they’re demanding a larger area restricted to Muslims only, and an “Islamic Education Center”—that will be run by the Muslim Student Association.
Discussion about the meditation space began when the president of the Muslim Student Association contacted Student Senator Ryan Bloomfield about space limitations. Since Muslim men and women are required to pray separately, there has not been enough room for women.
Also, Friday prayers are typically the largest and most important to the religion, with around one hundred students who attend, according to the president of MSA, Saleh Albarmawi. Prayer includes recitation of the Quran along with movements, which may cause disturbances to non-Muslims who use the space for silence.
“Assign a prayer area for Muslim students. Have that area also serve as an Islam Education Center. Since MSA is a reflection of the general body of the Muslim Students at GMU, the area should be run by MSA,” said Albarmawi.
The Muslim Student Association (MSA) is an organization founded and supported by Saudi Arabia, with the express purpose of propagating Islam—specifically the extreme Dark Ages version known as Wahhabism. The MSA has close ties with the World Assembly of Muslim Youth (WAMY), which operates from Riyadh, and it has over 150 chapters on American campuses, busily promoting anti-Americanism, antisemitism, and Islamic supremacist ideology.
They are most assuredly not our friends, but they are very adept at manipulating democratic freedoms and multicultural mindrot to get what they want.
Now they want to be in charge of an “Islamic Education Center” at George Mason University. And this scenario is being repeated at colleges across the US.

All this is taking place at government funded colleges. Let a Christian group try this and the liberals would be up in arms over it crying separation of state and church.

Yes, that is true Pastor Roger. I hope the university will not give in to this....

When will Americans wake up to the reality that we are loosing our freedoms .. little by little. I am wondering how closely the ideas and the thoughts are between these College students and the 6 men that were just arrested for plotting the attack on Fort Dix!

Brothers and Sisters,
In thinking about this and many other things, it denies logic and common sense. I've wondered many times about what it would take to wake people up, and I think that the answer is "nothing".
Folks might wonder about it when freedoms are gone, but that will be too late. It's almost as if, "If it isn't Christian, leave them alone and let them do it." Embracing the devil always has an unpleasant ending, so I hope they enjoy it. One can say or do anything against Christians without a problem at all. Where are our leaders, and what are they doing? By the way, I'm not talking about Bush. Is it religious freedom for everyone BUT Christians?
I'll go ahead and say it - most of our leaders are chickens, and their only courage comes when it's time to complain.

Where is the ACLU? Had these been Christians, you wouldn't hear the end of it.

The ACLU will be there if these people don't get what they want.
