Powerful, insightful and moving article, by my colleague and friend Eboo Patel, on the decision by Duke University to cancel a Friday Muslim Call to Payer from its Bell Tower. Eboo, a committed Muslim from Glen Ellyn, Illinois, is founder and CEO of Interfaith Youth Core(IFYC), where I am honored to serve on the Board of Directors. Eboo holds a doctorate in the sociology of religion from Oxford University, where he studied as a Rhodes Scholar. IFYC: We live at a time when people of different faith backgrounds are interacting with greater frequency than ever before. We hear the stories of people who seek to make faith a barrier of division or a bomb of destruction all too often. Instead, we view religious and philosophical traditions as bridges of cooperation. Our interfaith movement builds religious pluralism.
