Members of the Duke Muslim Students Association will chant the call, known as adhan or azan, from the Duke Chapel bell tower each Friday at 1 p.m. The call to prayer will last about three minutes and be “moderately amplified,” officials said in a statement Tuesday.
“The adhan is the call to prayer that brings Muslims back to their purpose in life, which is to worship God, and serves as a reminder to serve our brothers and sisters in humanity,” said Imam Adeel Zeb, Muslim chaplain at Duke. “The collective Muslim community is truly grateful and excited about Duke’s intentionality toward religious and cultural diversity.”

All this bending for Muslims needs to stop. Our county was founded on religious freedom but you do not see Christians wanting to call a prayer on the loud speaker. It's time America finds its identity again.
HOLY SH*T!!! ARE YOU FREAK'N KIDDING ME?!!!! WTH!
They freak out if you order bacon in their presence , yet they can shout from the top of the proverbial mountain? Nobody should be forced to hear that jibber jabber! The students need to put a pig up there!
If we don't stop Islam now, we as a free world will be doomed. I hate to say all Islam must go. Good or bad guy. Gotta go! Renounce your religion or die for your virgins. You don't know who is an extremist at heart. Make the few left fear to speak of it. Wipe them out!
Put a fork in US for we are done, fini!
Frigging outrageous. They can set an alarm on their phones with the caterwauling as the ringtone, to "call them to prayer".
Now this is something for atheists to file a lawsuit over, and raise hell about, not a statue portraying a soldier praying.
Wonder if they'll allow Christmas Carols to be played on a loudspeaker from the same location?
Christian prayer was in school for a long time. Muslims didn't have it removed. Atheists in this country did.
And it only really happened because Christians weren't willing to stand up and be proactive when it was under attack.
Besides, nothing is stopping a Jewish or Christian call to prayer. Aside from one's members willing to vocalize the call.
You've got to be kidding. This is why I served in Iraq? We Ned to wake up. The Muslim culture will oVerdun America if we don't wake up.
there is only one God and he is not Muslim
8:31 Amen.
Where is the ACLU on this I guess it does not apply to Muslim.
agree our traditions ave to go but we have to honor theirs ?
Call the Athiest group I did.
Let's see how many PTSD Veterans start smashing faces and skulls when that offensive sound starts to shatter the peace! One has to admit that it's a little creepy if you're not accustomed to it. Personally it SHOULD NOT BE PERMITTED because it does offend people of other faiths. WHERE THE HELL ARE THE ATHIESTS WHEN YOU NEED THEM?!!!
look we all know universities higher communists and Satan worshipers so what's the problem here? They just want to call for prayer to satan at 1 o'clock...
