#1 Unless we stop this piecemeal Shariazation, this crap will come to your plant, your office, your school, etc It won't come to your liquor store, because these won't exist in the near future.

#2 A commission spokesman says the college has a responsibility to offer reasonable prayer accommodation to the Muslim students...

Why?

All the other religious groups manage to pay their own damned way, why can't Muslims?

#3 Well, maybe there's a groundskeeper shed with a hose outside that they could use?

#4 Why? All the other religious groups manage to pay their own damned way, why can't Muslims?

I suspect that this university already does provide space for Catholic students. If it does then other religious groups have a valid point in demanding some sort of suitable space.

Keep in mind that Canada has two educational systems at the elementary and secondary level: the Catholic school board, and the public school board. Both are publicly funded. The Catholic school board hasn't yet seen this sort of controversy because obviously not many Muslims go to Catholic schools.

At the college level, however, it is possible to see Muslim students at publicly funded, traditionally Catholic institutions. So the college system will always be at the front lines of these type of cultural clashes. In the interest of fairness, equality and what have you, colleges and universities will usually bend over backwards to accomodate students of various religions.
