Actually it is the Muslim students who campaigned for this. Why would the University randomly decide on its own that the azaan needs to be said out loud before Friday prayers? That would be really absurd.

And you keep emphasizing that it’s a bad decision because it’s the US? I firmly believe and know that the US as a whole is a lot less racist than all of Europe when it comes to Muslims so it would be a bad decision in Europe as well.

Anyways the latest news is that Duke has retracted its decision because they realized instead of fostering goodwill it was actually causing harm.

Muslims Student Association of the Duke University, not the entire Muslim community of this world or Western countries as some people would like to paint. The knee jerk reaction of Muslims to put the blame on all Muslims’ and start the wrist slitting is just as bad as Islamophobic gits passing negative generalisation on all Muslims and holding the entire community responsible. Simple opportunism. It is about time moderate Muslims start saying NO to both form external and internalised racism.

Mainland Europe is just as racist as USA, it’s just that European Muslim think USA is still more racist whereas USA Muslims try to make themselves feel better by saying no it’s Europe that’s more racist. These are typical responses. But yes, but classroom shootings is more of American problem.
