[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm just reading about the violent protests in Jordan and Niger.  In Niger, they are attacking and burning down churches and christians businesses.  [/quote]

I'm more concerned about the threats made against Duke because they were going to allow muslim call to prayer to be broadcast from the chapel.  That is terrorism that succeeded in stifling free speech, right here in America.  And no one seems to care. [/quote]

I am skeptical about the “threats” made.  Were the “threats” from alumni saying they would withhold donations?  There has been no concrete statement about the alleged “threats” that I have read... 
Here is one statement I did see.....
[quote]Schoenfeld said Duke received numerous negative calls and emails about allowing the Islamic call to prayer, and Durham police said the university had requested extra security Friday afternoon – before officials moved the activity to the quad.[/quote]

So, what were the threats?  Were police requested as a precaution?  
There is simply not enough information to come to any conclusion.

Why do you call it “terrorism” when the authorities have not been candid about the “threats?”  Nothing I have read leads me to believe it is “terrorism.”  And, how does it stifle free speech?  You do realize that Duke is a PRIVATE university, right?  [/quote]
