Once again, those evil Catholics are up to no good. At least that’s what one George Washington University Professor wants you to believe. Washington DC’s Catholic University of America is facing a complaint for hanging crosses in their classrooms, and having a cathedral on their campus. Apparently, such Christian displays have the potential to offend Muslim students. (Thank goodness there’s a liberal George Washington University Professor here to save everyone from Christian imagery. Right?)
Crosses in every room at Washingon D.C.’s Catholic University of America are a human rights violation that prevent Muslim students from praying.
That’s the complaint to the Washington, D.C. Office of Human Rights filed by a professor from rival George Washington University across town.
GWU Law School Professor John Banzhaf takes the Catholic institution to task for acting “probably with malice” against Muslim students in a 60-page complaint that cites “offensive” Catholic imagery all over the Catholic school, which he says hinder Muslims from praying.
Baffled Catholic University officials say they have never received a complaint from any of the schools Muslim students.
He alleges that the university, “does not provide space – as other universities do – for the many daily prayers Muslim students must make, forcing them instead to find temporarily empty classrooms where they are often surrounded by Catholic symbols which are incongruous to their religion,” according to the Tower, Catholic University’s student newspaper.
The complaint further objects that Muslims must pray at the school’s chapels “and at the cathedral that looms over the entire campus – the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception.”

this is a joke, right?
Islam wants "In God we trust" taken off our money or changed to "In Allah we trust".
No, the G.W. law prof. Is a joke.
muslims should find another school to go to,hopefully in their home country nobody should have the right to change the values on which this country was founded God bless AMERICA
gw itself has become a joke, it's not catholic anymore and surly not christian. The speakers and leaders they invite go against everything the church and Jesus stand for!
Social Justice Warriors. Acting offended for no reason.
I came to the conclusion long ago that the people who are offended by the words and deeds of others are the ones that have the problem not the ones doing the alleged offending.

T S if those students are offended. Their getting their way in these cases offends me.
They can go to another non'religious school. What did they expect?
Just more propaganda to destroy our nation. Why else would muslims go to a Catholic school?
Those "students" chose that university, asked to be there, paid money to get there.
They are not there for any other reason that to stir up ship.
6:34 got it right, just like why would black students go to Washington & Lee college, then bitch about the confederate flags in the chapel!
