And U Chicago kowtows: http://weaselzippers.us/2013/06/10/...ar-old-chapel-to-accommodate-islamic-prayers/
Not even close. The comments are funny, and unfortunately closer to the truth than they should be.
Would it still be "kowtowing" if they added pews to accommodate Christians?
Bigoted asshat? Huh. I just don't really care for a religion that condones beheading children and abusing women, but I guess you disagree with me there.
And then you guys wonder why you have the reputation of being bigoted asshats these days.
There's a nondenominational chapel at Dartmouth that many alums use for weddings and other services. I can all but guarantee Jews, Muslims, and even Buddhists have used it over the years. I'm supposed to be outraged by that?
There is not enough push within the rumored "good factions" of Islam for me to think that they believe anything different. They should be publicly condemning these acts, and actively trying to separate themselves from the trash in their religion. I feel the same way about the parts of Christianity that you mentioned as I do about Islam, its just that I've seen enough branches of Christianity condemn that behavior that I see that the entire religion does not stand for those beliefs. I, myself, am not particularly religious.
I would tend to believe that once the Moslems got the building, nobody else is going to be worshiping there. Ecumenism is not a trait of modern Islam.
