Way to Islamic Religious Rituals, violating their own Religious “Entanglement” Rules
Way to Islamic Religious Rituals, violating their own Religious “Entanglement” RulesBy de Andréa
April 23, 2007
Religious entanglement rules now pertain only to the Christian religion.
Colleges are actually teaching and promoting Islamic infiltration and indoctrination of Islam for the purpose of changing the culture of America to an Islamic State.
Cultural and religious clashes involving Islam have been making headlines for awhile now in Minnesota. At the airport, some Muslim taxi drivers refuse to transport passengers carrying alcohol; at Target stores, some Muslim cashiers won't scan pork products.
Now there's a new point of friction: Minneapolis Community and Technical College. Its officials say the college, a public institution, has a strict policy of not promoting religion or favoring one religion over another. "The Constitution prevents us from doing this in any form," says Dianna Cusick, director of legal affairs. But that seems to depend on your religion.
Where Christianity is concerned, the college goes to great lengths to avoid any hint of what the courts call "entanglement" or support of the church. Yet the college is planning to install facilities for Muslims to use in preparing for daily prayers, an apparent first at a public institution in Minnesota.
Separation of church and state is clearest at the college during the Christmas season. A memo from Cusick and President Phil Davis, dated Nov. 28, 2006, exhorted supervisors to banish any public display of holiday cheer: "As we head into the holiday season ... "all public offices and areas should refrain from displays that may represent to our students, employees or the public that the college is promoting any particular religion.” Departments considering sending out holiday cards, the memo added, should avoid cards "that appear to promote any particular religious holiday."
Last year, college authorities caught one rule-breaker red-handed. A coffee cart that sells drinks and snacks played holiday music "tied to Christmas," and "complaints and concerns" were raised, according to a faculty e-mail. College authorities quickly quashed the practice.
They appear to take a very different attitude toward Islam. Welcome and accommodation are the order of the day for the college's more than 500 Muslim students. The college has worked with local Muslim leaders to ensure that these students' prayer needs and concerns are adequately addressed, Davis said.
Muslim prayer is an increasingly controversial issue. Many Muslim students use restroom sinks to wash their feet before prayer. Other students have complained, and one Muslim student fell and injured herself while lifting her foot out of a sink.
So the college is making plans to use taxpayer funds to install facilities for ritual foot-washing. Staff members are researching options, and a school official will visit a community college in Illinois to view such facilities while attending a conference nearby. College facilities staff members are expected to present a proposal this spring.
But where the Muslim prayer facilities are concerned, college authorities themselves are consulting with religious leaders, researching other schools, and using taxpayer money to make improvements to facilitate the Muslim student’s prayer needs
Issues surrounding the intersection of church and state and religious accommodation are complex. But the college's treatment of Christianity and Islam obviously reflects a double standard.
It's hard to imagine the college researching and paying for special modifications to the college to facilitate Christian rituals. And the "safety" justification… imagine if a particularly strict group of Christian students found it necessary to sometimes baptize others in the restroom sinks. Would the school build a baptism basin because a student hit his head on a sink? Certanly not…
Cultural infiltration Jihad in America
Ritual-washing area for Muslims at MCTC is just a small part of the ongoing infiltration of America, making us change our culture in order to accommodate theirs.
President Phil Davis -- MCTC is apparently the first public institution in Minnesota to enter this unfamiliar territory. Where is it looking for guidance?

Cultural infiltration Jihad in America
Ritual-washing area for Muslims at MCTC is just a small part of the ongoing infiltration of America, making us change our culture in order to accommodate theirs.
President Phil Davis -- MCTC is apparently the first public institution in Minnesota to enter this unfamiliar territory. Where is it looking for guidance?
Dianna Cusick, MCTC's director of legal affairs, is overseeing the project. She said the Muslim Accommodations Task Force, is a primary resource. "They've done all the research," she said. I found information about the handful of public colleges that have "wudu," or ritual bathing, facilities. But I also discovered something more important for colleges seeking guidance on "accommodations": Projects like MCTC's are likely to be the first step in a long process.
The task force's eventual objectives on American campuses include the following, according to the website: permanent Muslim prayer spaces, ritual washing facilities, separate food and housing for Muslim students, separate hours at athletic facilities for Muslim women, paid imams or religious counselors, and campus observance of Muslim holidays.
The task force is already hailing "pioneering" successes. At Syracuse University in New York, for example, "Eid al Fitr is now an official university holiday to take the place of Christmas," says an article featured on the website. "The entire university campus shuts down to mark the end of Ramadan.” At Henry Ford Community College in Dearborn, Mich., "halal" food -- ritually slaughtered and permissible under Islamic law -- is marked by green stickers in the cafeteria and "staff are well-trained in handling practices."
The task force professional staff, based in Washington, D.C., includes coordinators who provide legal advice, teach students to lobby, write letters on their behalf, and help them overcome "obstacles" such as college administrators' concerns about violating the separation of church and state.
The Muslim Accommodations Task Force is a project of the Muslim Student Association of the U.S. and Canada. MSA's mission is to enable Muslims here "to practice Islam as a complete way of life," and its "main goal" is "spreading the Islamic agenda," The association calls itself a"landmark Muslim organization in North America," and says it has chapters on 600 campuses.
On MSA's website (http://www.msa-national.org/), the sort of inclusive language used by the Muslim Accommodations Task Force gives way to hard-hitting advice for insiders. One publication --"Your Chapter's Guide to Campus Activism" -- describes how activists can advance political positions such as "restoring justice within the Palestinian territories," and opposition to the Patriot Act and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. The cover features a student with a megaphone, and the slogan "Speak Out! Stand Up! Say It Loud!"
MSA views itself as America's moral and political vanguard. "As Muslims, we are a nation elected by Allah God to lead humanity," the guide announces. On campus, that means initiating "mass mobilization" through "direct action campaigns"
The guide explains how Muslim student groups can obtain funding, identify coalition partners and "bodies of power" on campus, work within student government, and use the media. "Marches, rallies and protests on campus" can "generate massive amounts of exposure for your MSA and its cause to make a better America.”
In all these endeavors, however, establishing credibility is vital to success, the guide emphasizes. Activists must "take full advantage of the open-minded environment" on campus, and skillfully employ the language of patriotism and rights. Thus, activists should take care to position themselves as mainstream Americans. "Make use of terminology like 'our country,' 'our security,' and 'we, the American people,' " the guide suggests. “ Unless you identify with the people, you will never gain the legitimacy to criticize state policies," though "identifying yourself as an American" will not necessarily preclude criticism. Anybody see infiltration here???
Activists should also frame their objectives in language that Americans embrace. "Most Americans identify with concepts such as 'justice,' 'self-determination,' 'human rights' and 'democracy,' “the guide explains. “ These terms will be constructive when delivering your message, regardless of the issue."
For example, if you want to bring a speaker to campus to discuss the importance of hijab (Muslim women's headwear or covering), you will be "more effective" if you broaden the topic to "women's rights.”
THE BOTTOM LINE: These Muslim organizations and others such as CAIR the Counsel of American and Islamic Relations are under constant investigation by the FBI. Some officials from these and other Islamic organizations have been arrested and convicted of supporting Islamic Terrorists. These are Enemy’s of the United States, and yet our colleges, the Institutes of Higher Indoctrination and Brainwashing, are following the advice of these anti-American organizations that are infiltrating every facet of American culture, society, and government, for the purpose of undermining and ultimately destroying the very foundation of this countries freedom and liberty. Moreover they intend to bring America under the oppression of Islamic Sharia Law, incrementally and surreptitiously. It starts with our children, indoctrinating them to use and abuse our own system to bring about the Islamic agenda of oppressive conquest…
If you agree call Minneapolis Community and Technical College Director Dianna Cusick at (612) 659-6319 and President Phil Davis at (612) 659-6300 and let them know what you think of their endorsement of Islam, and their promotion of Islamic practices, as well as the indoctrination of Changing the American Culture to an Islamic State, moreover, their prohibitions against the Judao Christian traditions that this country was founded on.
