Congratulations, my friends! Duke University backed down late yesterday amid a tremendous backlash to its plans to broadcast the Muslim call to prayer from the universitys chapel bell tower. Thank you to everyone who took the time to call and email Duke, and to Reverend Franklin Graham for speaking out so forcefully. Of course, as it is with every victory by our side, we cant take anything for granted. Political correctness prevails in our elite institutions, especially in academia, and I fully expect Duke administrators to revisit the issue again. Sadly, the reactions of some indoctrinated students demonstrate the struggle we are in. One Duke student angry with the reversal told a reporter, We should have gotten over these things a long time ago. Prejudice and bigotry and Islamophobia should not exist now. . . . People cant separate Islam from terrorism. She just doesnt get it. Radical Islamists are still living in the Dark Ages. They have no concept of equality, treat women as cattle and still practice slavery. Go lecture the Taliban about prejudice. Go to the West Bank and Gaza and preach against bigotry. Tell the jihadists who scream Allahu Akbar! as they decapitate journalists, fly planes into buildings and slaughter Christians and Jews to separate Islam from terrorism. As one reader emailed me, When Christians and Jews can work and worship freely in the Mecca, then Duke can broadcast the Muslim call to prayer.
