ere is the real story on the Muslim foot-washing facility at that Minneapolis college. What actually happened is that students were complaining about Muslims washing their feet in the restroom sinks, and one student was injured while lifting her foot out of the sink. The stuff in longnshort's link about bomb threats was silly made up nonsense.


The stuff in longnshort's link was presented as a direct quote from President Davis. The only salient question is: was it a real quote or was it made up?

You haven't answered that question, or given any evidence on it. What the dispute was originally about scarcely matters. Did Davis make this statement, yes or no?

My comment was directed more to the College President's statement:

“Christians and Jews aren’t going to kill anyone over this issue. Muslims are different. We’ve already received threats saying the college will be bombed if we refuse to build this facility. So, as anyone can see, we’re not promoting the Muslim religion. We’re saving the lives of our students and faculty.”

Are you saying that quote is silly, made-up nonsense?
