MUSLIM STUDENTS DEMAND PRAYER ROOMS IN EVERY
MAJOR CAMPUS BUILDING, 12/23/16
Muslim
students at the University of Maryland are asking administrators to put a
prayer room in every major campus building as part of a long list of demands.
Students
at the University of Maryland have put together a list of 64 demands to
administrators in their Protect UMD initiative
to make the campus more hospitable to “marginalized student populations,”
including Muslims, Campus Reform reports.
Other
demands by Muslim students to administrators include being provided shuttle bus
services to the local mosque and a request that “their names be kept from
President-elect Donald Trump if he creates a nationwide Muslim registry,”
the Daily Mail reported.
Students
said they had difficulty accessing the current prayer room and “often resorted
to praying in stairwells as a result.” Donald
Trump said he is still considering the registry after the Islamic extremist
attack on Berlin’s Christmas market Wednesday.
Students
asked to be protected from a potential Muslim registry because the university
has information on each enrolled student. “It would
provide a sense of safety if we knew the university wasn’t the one giving the
government that information about us and feeling like our administration is
protecting us and willing to do that carries some value,” Sarah Eshera told
student newspaper The Diamondback.
Other
“marginalized” groups also included their own list of demands into the master
list. One demand from “undocumented students” would require the University of
Maryland to become a “sanctuary campus.”…

I wonder
what the activity fees would be for a sizeable prayer room? I wonder if their welfare checks would be
enough to pay for this activity?
