“There are 64 demands across 8 subsets of students—Marginalized, American Indian, Black, Latinx, LGBTQIA+, Muslim, Pro-Palestine, and Undocumented…”
Victimhood, whether perceived or actual, is power on today’s college and university campuses, which are no longer centers for learning, but are merely Leftist indoctrination camps. Thus these groups hang their preposterous demands on their supposed victimhood. This is also why there are so many anti-Muslim hate crimes that are faked by Muslims: when victimhood does not exist, it must be invented.
“Muslim students demand prayer rooms in every ‘major building,'” by Toni Airaksinen, Campus Reform, December 21, 2016 (thanks to The Geller Report):
Students at the University of Maryland have released a list of 64 demands in their effort make the campus more amenable to “marginalized student populations.”
The project, known as ProtectUMD, is a collaborative effort between 25 student organizations at the University of Maryland, including Students for Justice in Palestine, Bisexuals at Maryland, and the Black Student Union.
There are 64 demands across 8 subsets of students—Marginalized, American Indian, Black, Latinx, LGBTQIA+, Muslim, Pro-Palestine, and Undocumented—including scholarships for “students of marginalized communities,” a ban on Columbus Day, beginning every on-campus event with an acknowledgement that “this is Indigenous Land,” that African American professors get tenure, that preferred pronouns are included on rosters, and that “queer diversity training” is required.
Muslim students also want “one room in each major building designated for prayer” and “shuttle services to [the local mosque] for Muslim students to have access to a place of worship.”
Among the Pro-Palestine demands, students want the administration to condemn the “conflation of Pro-Palestinian activism with Anti-Semitism,” claiming that “Pro-Palestinians do not reject the human rights of any group of people.”
No Jewish student organizations have signed onto the list.
Demand #53 calls for the university to actively encourage students to learn about the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions Movement (BDS).
The Pro-Palestine demands are incompatible with the beliefs of the Jewish student organizations on campus, leading the student groups Terps for Israel, the Jewish Student Union, and J Street U to abstain from the project.
Students for Justice in Palestine declined to answer questions from Campus Reform, as did every other organization that was contacted.
“I think [these demands] are ridiculously easy [to accomplish],” said Muslim Student Association member Khaled Nurhssien told The Diamondback….

“Marginalized”– that’s one I hadn’t heard of. Thought each seperate group already considered themselves as that.
Why don’t they just come out and state their true “demand”? Remove all Jews, white men and unabashed conservatives from all campuses.
No intolerance there.

Prayer rooms in every main building? All with gold-plated fittings, of course. Shuttles to the nearest mosque? (All Rolls Royces no doubt, with uniformed chaffeurs?). De luxe halal paper in the specially segregated islamic rest rooms staffed by suitably obsequious Christian attendants? Have I missed anything?

Hmmm, “marginalized students”…shouldn’t Christian students then be afforded a chapel, right next to each Muslim prayer room????? Equality, ya know….sarcasm intended.

Pull every penny of federal taxpayer funds from any university which caves to such nonsense, yes, including student loans. Gov’t. shouldn’t be making student loans, anyway.. DENY TENURE (I’m opposed to tenure, for if a prof. is doing a good job, he/she keeps their job, if not, FIRE THEM) to any prof. who is pushing a communist/socialist/Islamist ideology. SJW type classes and any class ending in ‘studies’, such as ‘women’s studies’ (and I’m a woman), should be cancelled. All these classes do is turn out SJW’s, perpetual 2 yr. olds, throwing temper tantrums. Ahhh, such precious little snowflakes. I would NEVER hire anyone from that type of course of study. All you would get is a guaranteed, upset workplace.
As far as the MSA, the Muslim Students’ Assoc. It’s a front group for the Muslim Brotherhood. Have you watched the excellent Mark Christian moment, on the Glazov Gang. At the end of it, he shows the leader of a MSA group, leading in their Pledge of Allegiance. To those of us who know the MB’s pledge, right before they changed it, not too long ago, since more and more Americans were becoming aware of it, it sounds so similar. Here’s the link to the Glazov video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQ7g0LBoWTo&feature=em-share_video_user
Although I wrote the MSA pledge out for you, I urge you to watch the video, and really pay attention to the leader’s fervor and intensity, and the group responding:
Allah is my lord.
Islam is my life.
The Koran is my guide.
The Sunnah is my practice.
Jihad is my spirit.
Righteousness is my character.
Paradise is my goal.
I enjoin what is right.
I forbid what is wrong.
I will fight against oppression.
And I will die to establish Islam.

Cultural Jihad is active in the U.S.(The subject of the article is a good example of it), as well as the rest of the world.
There are 4 basic tactics that are used: Cultural Jihad, Political Jihad, Sexual Jihad, and Violent Jihad.
All pursue the same goal, the ushering in of Sharia Law and the supremacy of Islam.
This is a case that what you don’t know CAN hurt you.
Turning a blind eye to Islamic Jihad (and all of Islam pursues the same Jihad) is a foolish choice, even if your intentions are good.
Muslims serve a false god that requires them to consider you to be mortal enemies, and no exceptions are allowed by their corrupt god.
Once you recognize this, it is easy to see the various ways that Muslims work through deception to take advantage of clueless westerners.

mr spencer, are muslims not required by their religion to pray 5 times daily unlike christians who worship on sundays only?in islam one can discharge that religious duty of praying 5 times daily anywhere, provided that the place is clean.if muslim students are denied right to pray anywhere in the campus and there are no mosques available,do you want them to abandone that religious duty?where is american article for freedom of worship?are you saying it does not apply to muslims? i can understand that you people,mr spencer and co,hate islam too much to the extent that you dont hear anything islamic.there is nothing you can do to stop islam from being practiced no matter how much you antagonise it.
eur says
It is impossible for a Muslim to live in a secular society. Why does there have to be an oratory at a university? Perhaps there has to be a laboratory in a mosque? What is next? Censor certain subjects? Not being able to address pigs? Compulsory to stop classes during the hour of prayer? That the call to prayer be heard throughout the campus? That the teachers are Muslim? Classrooms differentiated by sex so that Muslims can continue their segregation?

Maybe if Muslims would practice widespread kindness and cease being the source of incredible hatred and violence toward people of other faiths all around the world, people might be willing to more accommodative of their religious needs.
james.mich says
Catholics, at least, are often encouraged to go to daily Mass. Priests pray seven times a day. A great many Catholics pray the Rosary daily. Christ Himself taught His Disciples to “pray always”. So ibrahim is mistaken.
In no case are Catholics expected to pray at the expence of others – for Catholics to do that, would be regarded as wrong. If one has a job, one does not draw attention to oneself or disrupt others; one prays, by doing one’s work well, with the intention of honouring God by doing so.
abad says
To go one better – Catholics normally do their praying in private or at least discreetly if they do it in public (like on the subway on the way to work).
Muslims, OTOH, attention whore their praying in public every single chance they get.
And this is hat differentiates the two religions.
abad says

And they pray on the car Bonnet too.
Michael Miller says
Let the Muslims pray in their dorm room. If they need transportation to Mosques, let them organize carpools or even pay for a bus to take them to a Mosque. Jews pray three times per day; I have never heard a Jewish student demand that the University provide him/her with a designated room.
The demands of the Muslims are merely subterfuge in their attempt to take over this country and make the whole world Muslim.
Paul says
Correction: Strictly orthodox Jews do this. Most, even fairly religious ones, do not. Most religious Jews have made accommodations with the modern world.
AvantiBev says
Catholics are SUPPOSED to pray daily, the Angelus at 6 a.m., noon and 6 p.m.; a Morning Offering; grace before meals; and prayers before bed. That these have fallen by the wayside for many is no tribute to Catholics nor a Vatican II modernity.

In Muslim countries, prayers are offered even on the streets. I’ve never been on a campus that didn’t have many nice places, outdoors or indoors to throw out a prayer mat and pray. Muslims are not required to have a special place to pray. Tough it out like your fellow Muslims in other parts of the world. No one’s gonna bother you, you little snowflake.
somehistory says
At one time, people saw it as a privilege to go to college and receive a *higher* education…one that would allow them to get a better paying job, to live easier than had their parents or other older ones.
Now, it is just a place for brats to go and make demands while they *listen* to those professing to know something better tell them how very special they are and they don’t have to behave in a rational, ethical, moral or decent manner.
But, it is going to come to a sudden and dramatic end soon. As Christ said, “At the time you least think likely.”

You note one of many inherent contradictions. If the pre-Columbus “indigenous” people have been marginalized, then maybe we should stop marginalizing them even further by letting yet more people settle here from foreign lands? If Muslims LGBTQ are marginalized, why bring in Muslim refugees whose culture will only further marginalize the LGBTQ? Or if we want to less marginalize Muslims, maybe we should push LGBTQ culture underground? etc.

Notice that muhammed did not address any of the points of Islamic supremacism that eur brought up–so one must suppose that unless Muslims are allowed to oppress everyone else that they believe they are being prevented from practicing their vile creed.
In fact, forcing all others to submit to Islam is a key tenet of Islam.
More:

Not at all–in a Western secular society any are allowed to practice their faiths. This is always the case with Muslims–if they are not allowed to oppress others, they think they are being oppressed.

Nope. Got that wrong. Allah is a fiction, just Mo’s hand puppet and nothing more and if I’m wrong may Allah strike me dead.
Islam is the greatest con job of all time. There is no Allah, Mohammed was a fraud and the Koran is a stupid, repetitive, desultory and profoundly sick hate manual. These three, the fictional Allah, the psychopath Mohammed, and the Mein Kampf of religious literature, make up the Islamic trinity, a threesome most egregious. And may Allah strike me dead tonight if I’m wrong here.

Let’s begin with the concept of Justice in “Palestine.” Justice in “Palestine” would be a UN resolution condemning the Palestinian rejection of the previous, more-than-reasonable offers made to them; their continuing unwillingness to negotiate without preconditions as invited to by Israel; and their continuing incitement of the Palestinian population to hatred and violence (especially in their schools). The resolution would then grant Israel permanent sovereignty over the existing, major Jewish settlement blocks in the disputed territories, both to penalize the Palestinians for their irredentism and to re-affirm the notion of “defensible boundaries” for Israel, previously enshrined in the historical UN Resolution 242. The parties would then be instructed that “land for “peace” now applies to the remaining areas.
As for the other preposterous notions of the Social Justice Warriors, I don’t have the time or patience to write anything right now.

“… Victimhood, whether perceived or actual, is power on today’s college and university campuses, which are no longer centers for learning, but are merely Leftist indoctrination camps…”
The educational institutions are unbalanced in the makeup of their staff who are predominantly, often overwhelmingly, people holding New Left attitudes. This has been the case for decades, certainly from the 1970’s onwards, and thus these prejudices and rigidities in thinking have become entrenched in the institutions themselves. Anyone pursuing a higher education has had to walk the corridors of these ‘centres of learning’ and has been subject to a daily dose of indoctrination often shrill sometimes subtle – this is the process that has left us with politicians, community leaders and other ‘opinion leaders’ who spout the same slogans and share the same paranoid obsessions about oppression, and are ever suspicious about the community at large, the ‘dominant culture’.

Now that Christmas is over and there are fewer Nativity scenes on display to attract the ACLU’s attention, perhaps the ACLU will find sufficient time to launch lawsuits against these Muslim prayer rooms on public property.
If the ACLU considers a Nativity scene in a public place or on public property to be unconstitutional surely it would object to Muslim-only prayer rooms on public university campuses.
What’s that? The ACLU has never gone after Muslim religious symbols in public spaces? Why not? Are they afraid of something?

so, every tom, dickless & harry and others can DEMAND what is what on a campus. did not know that. they pay tuition for access to an education. prayer rooms, halal food, prayer rugs and a camel tent parking space with the CALL TO PRAYER 5 TIMES A DAY. guess the weekend sports programs will have to be canceled can not have any half naked cheerleaders running around during prayers. guess the administration has never had an ADULT managing their university. when CHILDREN make demands, it is the duty of the ADULTS to tell them NO. next step is expulsion with a prorated refund. life is a beetch & sometimes you lose.
