The university canceled plans for Muslim students to deliver the traditional call from the schoolâs iconic chapel tower, and instead the call will be sounded from the quadrangle in front of it.
Even when some administrators at an institution are committed to religious diversity, other stakeholders with power heavily influence decision-making. Â In this example, Duke University caved to external pressure and relocated the Muslim Call to Prayer to a different, less conspicuous location on campus.

Jon Stewartâs sarcasm is quite hilarious, and it also highlights how deeply rooted Christianity is in  American  society. People who practice religions others than  Christianity are limited in their ability to practice freely without criticism or question.
Chapter members form Chi Delta because of Christian practices employed by Delta Delta Delta. How do we continue to evolve organizations founded upon religious principles while still connecting with ritual?
If you're a Christian in the US, these are a bunch of unearned benefits you get that members of other faiths (or non-religious people) do not. It's not about shame. It's about understanding.
Christian privilege is ingrained in societal structures such as businesses, music, holidays, etc.Â

My Hijab feels as heavy as my heart. The symbol that lets others know who I am and what I believe in is starting to scare me. I am scared that I might be targeted for a hate crime because of my religion...
âAnd it is scary to know that if I were to get murdered tomorrow, as a Muslim, nobody would care. The news would not cover it as a hate crime. It would be because of a parking dispute or cutting someone in line at a grocery store. Maybe I would accidentally cut someone in line at an ice cream shop or take extra time while ordering my morning coffee.â
âItâs been hours! Just tell me if heâs alive!â
I was raised without a religion. My father and stepmother never really talked about God, or Jesus, or the Old Testament. They didnât talk about Jerusalem or even Vishnu. Throughout my childhood, th...
âIt became popular to discuss churches, scripture, and the like around the lunch table. I always waited nervously, palms slightly clammy, for someone to ask me what church I went to. I was afraid to tell them I didnât belong to a church, afraid that once that information was out, I wouldnât belong anywhere in the mix of children at my school.â
