University Of Chicago Removes Pews From 88-Year Old Chapel To Accommodate Islamic Prayers…

University of Chicago (UC) administrators permanently removed pews from an 88-year old chapel on campus in order to accommodate Islamic prayers, according to a local news report.

Chicago NPR affiliate, WBEZ news, reported on May 23, the pews, which are now part of display at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA) Chicago, were “removed in order to provide Muslim students a place to pray.”

Literature describing the artwork that was created by UC Director of Arts and Public Life Theaster Gates, also describes the removal of the pews as symbol of religious tolerance.

“The pews were recently removed from the chapel in order to offer Muslim students a place to pray, a symbolic gesture of religious tolerance,” according to an official description of the exhibit which includes a “set of repurposed pews from the University of Chicago’s campus church.”

But of course, let's do all we can to favor the freaking followers of Islam....... this is so sick and horrible to do this.

"A symbolic gesture of religious tolerance?" What about the religious tolerance of those who used these pews for decades? Where's the religious tolerance of the Muslims in saying the pews should stay?

We have sure lost a lot of unnecessary battles in this War with Islam. Or maybe too many Westerners are just in surrender mode.
