With these Muslim born haters of Islam, we don’t need any more enemies as they’re performing the job much more efficiently than the enemies. I still can’t believe the above comments are from Muslims. Quite a racist attitude towards their own faith. These people should not bother representing Islam as they’re surely causing more harm than good.

Im quite sad to know that the uni had to retract the decision.

if anything, listening to azaan / quranic recitation only brings blessings upon people, not harm. So the haters should be ashamed of themselves.

Speaking of “law of the land”, unless you’re saying that the uni’s decision was against the American laws, I don’t see why all the Muslim borns here were so despised by the decision of a weekly juma azaan.

the hateful comments about a weekly call for muslim prayer still don’t make sense to me. What’s so evil about listening to the prayer call? I always stopped doing what I was doing and listened to the azaan with complete focus even when I didn’t pray. Still I don’t pray regularly but listening to the azaan doesn’t hurt me but feels good. Maybe some Muslim students at the university can tell better why the university’s decision was so bad that they had to retract it.

It is probably attitudes like this that provide fodder to the satirists. Use of hateful, evil, racist and similar terms when totally unwarranted.
