(CNN)—The Muslim call to prayer will sound from a bell tower at North Carolina's Duke University -- but not everyone is considering the chant music to the ear.
Starting Friday, the Duke Muslim Students Association will chant the call, or adhan, from the Duke Chapel bell tower. The adhan signals the beginning of the weekly prayer service. It's ubiquitous in Muslim countries the world over; not so in the Carolina piedmont.
The call will last three minutes and will be only "moderately amplified," the school said.
Duke, which got its start in the late 19th century with help from the Methodist church, says the move "represents a larger commitment to religious pluralism that is at the heart of Duke's mission."
"It connects the university to national trends in religious accommodation," said Christy Lohr Sapp, the chapel's associate dean for religious life.
Various Christian denominations hold prayer and worship services in the chapel. The school also has spaces dedicated spaces on campus for various faiths, including Jews, Hindus and Buddhists.
"Just as the bells announce chapel worship in the building on Sundays, the adhan announces Muslim prayers on Fridays," the chapel said.
Duke is a big name nationwide. US News and World Report rated it among the top 10 American universities.
Another big name in the state is strongly denouncing the school's decision.
Franklin Graham, son of legendary evangelist Billy Graham, took to his Facebook page to call on donors to pressure the university into reversing course.

All Dookies are homos.

Such people are the types who would lube and spread their own ass cheeks while getting arse raped. Who can blame the Muslims for laughing at such crazy naive Westerners.

Would love to hear Showstoppa feeling on this.

I see the argument about bells tolling etc for Christian worship places, but, I still strongly disagree. I'm not really sure how I feel about this. Islam belongs to USA I guess. :-\

Bingo.
If some crazy religious zealot tries to impose his will on the rest of us, and then kills, they deserve 2 between the eyes.

Duke is a private school on its own land with its own bells.....they can ring them for Muslim prayer if they want.
IMHO:
churches should ring their own bells for their own stuff
mosques should ring their own bells for their own stuff
temples should ring their own bells for their own stuff
synagogues should ring their own bells for their own stuff
schools should ring their own bells for their own stuff
governments should ring their own bells for their own stuff

if a christian group (crazy, offensive, dangerous radicals) wanted something similar, they would probably be rejected and the local leftists would be fighting and screaming to get it stopped. but its muslims (religion of peace and tolerance), so its ok.

This is all a master plan. It's being implemented very slowly and methodically.
The USA died a while ago.
My advice... buy more ammo.

Imagine this, the muslims were blue eyed blonds, but with completely differend set of values and philosophy, how would you react to this news then?

I wouldn't quite claim Duke to be a private school with 100% autonomy as long as they continue to take close to $1B of taxpayer money from the Federal Government.

America (& others) need Charlie Hebdo TV (like Mad TV) ;D
