The chant will sound for three minutes at a "moderately amplified" level to announce the Jummah prayer service, held Friday afternoons in the chapel basement.

MOO - free country - free speech - private university.

Under our Constitution, their right to free speech and expression must be protected if yours is to be also.

If they allow the carilloning of bells and religious music to announce other services and seasonally celebratory events, what's the difference in allowing such a call to service for their Islamic students/faculty?

There's a Sikh society compound about 1/4 of a mile from my ranch and I can faintly hear their call to worship being sung - I almost called 911 the first time I heard it to get help for the poor devil wailing over the PA system who sounded as if he was in terrible pain from an agry ferret clamped to his testicles or something. It's a bit louder during their high holy periods but isn't overly intrusive so it's just ignored.

There are serious issues facing our society; I don't see this as one of them.

Others may disagree, but so it goes...
