Covering the business of education and training

Some Muslim students requested that Northwestern University provide them with a special prayer space so they could do their thing during long football games.

Northwestern responded with "What the h....?"

A, um, compromise was reached.

Muslim students will be allowed to bring their prayer rugs to basketball games and check them in at the coat check room.

At football games they will have to carry their carpets.

Additionally, they will be permitted to pray in spaces that don't interrupt traffic flow.

The Muslim students are saying, it "works for us."

I think the school is trying too hard to accomodate this group.

Are they afraid of a Muslim backlash if they ask, "what in the world are you talking about?"

I have missed numerous games, events, programs, outings because my priority was to the time I wanted to spend at church.

I have prayed at basketball games. I prayed for my son to do his best at the swim meet his is in, while I stood at the side of the pool and listened to over-excited parents.

Why do these Muslim students need to be accomodated in any way?

Northwestern blew this one and has opened a flood-gate to endless other unreasonable requests.
