I haven\u2019t heard the commentators weigh in on this subject yet, but I can pretty much write the script for some of them. \u00a0It will run along the following lines: \u00a0In the wake of the attack on Charlie Hebdo<\/em> and that kosher grocery store in suburban Paris, a major and rather elite American university is voluntarily taking on dhimmi<\/em> status and surrendering to Islam.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The step doesn\u2019t bother me, though. \u00a0I love the adhan<\/em> or prayer call, and I\u2019m not bothered at all by hearing it. \u00a0Quite the contrary.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Duke University was originally founded by Quakers and Methodists in 1838 as Trinity College. \u00a0But, of course, like very many other major universities with religious origins, it ceased long ago to have any significant religious affiliation or religious mission. \u00a0This seems to be the normal trajectory in higher education, something that can happen almost anywhere if it\u2019s permitted to do so.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

What concerns me \u00a0at this point is whether or not Duke is equally accommodating to Christian, Jewish, and other religious faiths, and whether it\u2019s fully open to minority but non-Muslim<\/em> viewpoints on matters of faith, practice, and social policy. \u00a0The article in the link appended below suggests that there might be certain problems in that regard:<\/p>\n

I have a niece at Duke. \u00a0I look forward to chatting with her about this topic, at some point.<\/p>\n
