According to OTV, the Muslim students who violated Antonine’s university laws by praying inside the campus were warned and they signed the warning willingly. The university administration stayed firm on its decision and warned of future similar actions.
smear the ground with PIG”s oil
rest of the students should bring booz and throw a party right where the idiots decided would be appropriate to pray… freedom of speech
You’re free to speak, but the Muslim students aren’t free to pray?
Fawzi,
The University is a Christian one and you are not allowed to pray if you are a non-Christian. Muslim holy places don’t even allow Christians in and Muslim universities don’t allow Christians to pray.
That’s how things are.
Muslims pray five times a day….Christians don’t even pray unless it’s a Sunday
How could they manage to pray 5 times and still attend their classes, why did this innocent act of PRAYER to the same GOD we both pray FOR get these disgusting comments…
get them a prayer room, stop this idiotic nonsense that is only drifting us more apart
When you’re so devouted to prayer, you can pray between yourself and your God. No need for a prayer room, nor for a display of force.
Their university. Their rules. You don’t like it, you can quit. End of story
Seriously Sam. All these students prayed five times a day? Pray tell me on where they did this the past years?
najib its about time things change you cant seperate these things anymore lebanon is growing and everyones numbers are growing, its either this or split up the country. Dont get me wrong im not supporting the acts that happened, but where do u think its coming from, its that they do not feel accepted there. be the bigger men and accept them, maybe youll start changing some peoples mind about thid prolonged conflict, it has nothing to do with our generation its in the past
Allah yi7faz hal shabeb w yzeeed min 2amselonn ya rabbbb…
Jack and anony,
U r disgusting!
This is a very sensitive issue; for the record I am with the university stance on the matter.
Muslims tend to “ykabro rass” and do things to push the limits but can’t accept it when it is on them.
But at the same time, sensationalizing the issue only makes things worse.
The Muslim students who are that serious about praying five times a day should’ve thought it out before enrolling in a christian university. This really doesn’t make sense.
Take the US (or any country thereof) for example. It has a set of laws on the state and federal levels. You can not come to the US, and create your own set of laws, otherwise you’ll be deported. How about Saudi Arabia? You can not sit in public with a woman unless you’re married to that woman. It is that country’s law. Similarly, private institutions and companies have their own set of laws. If I don’t like these laws I should not join the institution, company OR visit said countries.
The Antonine University has its bylaws and it is a Christian University. If students did not like these laws they should not have joined from the beginning. Lebanon has over 40 universities and they could have picked another one.
Also, if they really JUST wanted to pray and not to PROVOKE, they could have found an empty classroom and prayed in it. I don’t think there are any requirements set forth by the Prophet on Muslims to only pray in a “holy place” such as a mosque or a dedicated prayer room. A Muslim can pray anywhere and an empty classroom (not being used for class at that time) is more than suitable for this purpose.
What’s next? No classes on Friday because they must pray five times during that day? It is SUCH people who want the whole Lebanon for themselves and who want their own rules applied everywhere and they can not withstand living in harmony and respecting other religions! It is such people who will bring back the civil war and who are trying to infiltrate every aspect of other people’s life.
I have friends in the army who are not allowed to wear a cross as it is a religious sign which is not allowed in Army/Police. Pray tell me what the hell were these women trying to do (http://www.naharnet.com/stories/en/34304-hijab-wearing-policewomen-cause-stir-in-lebanon) ? “Moutawa3a”?
Warning: The worse is yet to come, Lebanon will unfortunately be converted to a shiites country following the leadership of Iran since Shiites rulers are way more powerful than Christian rulers, not to mention they are united while Christians are divided and a big part of Christians are encouraging this Shiite behavior…
This is a pointless discussion. Lets try to say things the way they are… plain and simple everyone, keno mfakrin ykasro ras elkbir bel uni (3a ases henne elma7romin w halla2 sar b2idon sle7 wel sle7 bi id el…) w hala2 tkasar rasson w n7atalon 7ad (limit) that’s it. None is ever going to be able to come enfource their beleives in our areas, churches, universities etc… unless they’re serious about going back to civil war.
You sound like such a dick. I’m strongly against them demanding a prayer room in a christian university, but your words are just reeking with racism and bigotry. How about you be the better person in the situation and talk about this topic in a more civil manner? “w hala2 tkassar rasson”, seriously?
