Duke University scrapped plans on Thursday to allow the Muslim call to prayer to emanate from its chapel bell tower, university officials said, amid fierce criticism from conservative Christians and anger from alumni.

Earlier in the week, university officials said the weekly chant by Muslim students, known as the adhan, would be amplified from Duke Chapel beginning on Friday.

“Duke remains committed to fostering an inclusive, tolerant and welcoming campus for all of its students,” said university spokesman Michael Schoenfeld in a statement announcing the reversal. “However, it was clear that what was conceived as an effort to unify was not having the intended effect.”

Let me be clear, Duke backed down for one reason: alumni donations. Like people, institutions have character and honor. Or not as shown by Duke University.

Duke’s leadership is blind to the “truth” that was responsible for the creation of that institution. This idea of “promoting diversity” is a work of satan.

I am so glad that Duke decided not to rock the campus with the adhan…..The thought of 200 or so rednecks in pickup trucks with 200 amp stereos all playing Hank Williams Jr , “A Country Boy Can Survive” might have started a riot.

They did rock the campus with the adhan.
It was done outside next to the
church.
Immediately after, praying to a pedophile
rapist was done inside the church.
Obviously, “The thought of 200 or so rednecks in pickup trucks with 200 amp stereos all playing Hank Williams Jr , “A Country Boy Can Survive” might have started a riot,” did
not scare,frighten,intimidate, slow down or stop Duke.
Traitors, communists and enemies of our Republic win again.
Our team, as always, lose, losing, lost.
