Univ of South Florida bows down to Muslim students

There are 36 religious denominations on campus, many asked for the space, but Muslims have full control of it? Muslims also got a wash room with special Islamic foot baths to prepare for Islamic prayers. How many of the other 35 denominations have special accomodations like that? And just how aware are the non-Muslim students at USF that their student fees are being used to pay for amenities that only Muslims will utilize? Hat Tip: Road Sassy

There’s also a wash room for Muslims to cleanse their feet, hands, arms and face before prayer. Until now they’d wash their feet in the school’s bathroom sinks they’d pray where possible on campus 5 times a day.

School officials say there are students from 36 religious denominations on campus and many asked for this space.

“It sends the message this is the students building they were involved in designing it and they asked for it,” says Joe Synovec, Director of the Marshall Student Center. “Because they are funding this it’s not paid with tax dollars we tried to accommodate as much of the requests students gave us, this was answering their prayers.” Synovec says students are paying for the 65-million dollar student center using student fees not tax dollars. The Serenity Room is designed after one at the University of North Carolina.

[actually it sends a message that says we don't give a fuck about anyone else, we are Muslims, and we will wash our dirty feet in your sinks if you don't give us Islamic foot baths, and we'll pray in every 'nook and cranny' if we don't get a make-shift mosque. And oh by the way, infidels, you will pay for most of this!]

School officials say the Serenity Room is there for students of all denominations and the school’s Muslim students encourages others to use it. “I want to welcome all faiths to come here and pray with us that would be wonderful,” says 23 year old third year medical student Muhammad Hassaan Iman.
