Katherine Kersten has another column on the Mpls. Community College’s efforts to accomodate Muslim students.  The kicker here though, this isn’t just occurring in Minnesota, it’s occurring at American colleges.

Dianna Cusick, MCTC’s director of legal affairs, is overseeing the project. She referred me to the Muslim Accommodations Task Force, whose website she is using as a primary resource (www.startribune.com/2617). “They’ve done all the research,” she said.

On the site, I found information about the handful of public colleges that have “wudu,” or ritual bathing, facilities.

But I also discovered something more important for colleges seeking guidance on “accommodations”: Projects like MCTC’s are likely to be the first step in a long process.

The task force’s eventual objectives on American campuses include the following, according to the website: permanent Muslim prayer spaces, ritual washing facilities, separate food and housing for Muslim students, separate hours at athletic facilities for Muslim women, paid imams or religious counselors, and campus observance of Muslim holidays. The task force is already hailing “pioneering” successes. At Syracuse University in New York, for example, “Eid al Fitr is now an official university holiday,” says an article featured on the website. “The entire university campus shuts down to mark the end of Ramadan.” At Henry Ford Community College in Dearborn, Mich., “halal” food — ritually slaughtered and permissible under Islamic law — is marked by green stickers in the cafeteria and “staff are well-trained in handling practices.”

At Georgetown University, Muslim women can live apart in housing that enables them to “sleep in an Islamic setting,” as the website puts it. According to a student at the time the policy was adopted, the university housing office initially opposed the idea, on grounds that all freshman should have the experience of “living in dorms and dealing with different kinds of people.” That might sound appealing, Muslim students told a reporter in an article featured on the website. But in their view, the reporter wrote, “learning to live with ‘different kinds of people’ ” actually “causes more harm than good” for Muslims, because it requires them to live in an environment that “distracts them from their desire to become better Muslims, and even draw[s] weaker Muslims away from Islam.”

I thought this was called segregation? Wasn’t segregation banned a few decades ago, especially in public institutions? But if this segregation is in the name of Islam, then I guess it’s okay.

These Muslims have no desire to be apart of the United States unless the United States looks more like Saudi Arabia or maybe Iran? The only answer I can come up with for these Muslims being in the United States is so they can change the the country to become a part of the Caliphate. Otherwise, they could just return to their country of origin or (if already they are American) move to an Islamic country. But if they leave then that doesn’t do much to further that Islamic Caliphate does it!

Go here to read the comments. There’s the typical accusations of Islamophobia, xenophobia and hate monger. These leftards are the same people who forget that Islam is not terribly tolerant when it comes to homosexuals or women!
