Universities Install Footbaths to Benefit Muslims, and Not Everyone Is

Pleased [Excerpts]



Dearborn, USA - When pools of water began accumulating on the floor in

some restrooms at the University of Michigan-Dearborn, and the sinks

pulling away from the walls, the problem was easy to pinpoint. On this

campus, more than 10 percent of the students are Muslims, and as part

of ritual ablutions required before their five-times-a-day prayers,

some were washing their feet in the sinks.



The solution seemed straightforward. After discussions with the Muslim

Students Association, the university announced that it would install

$25,000 foot-washing stations in several restrooms.



But as a legal and political matter, that solution has not been quite

so simple. When word of the plan got out this spring, it created

instant controversy, with bloggers going on about the Islamification of

the university, students divided on the use of their

building-maintenance fees, and tricky legal questions about whether the

plan is a legitimate accommodation of students right to practice

their religion” or unconstitutional government support for that

religion.



âs an awkward thing,a  said Alexis Oesterle, a junior. “If

I'm sitting with Muslim friends, I wouldn’t want to bring it up. In

this country, at this time, it’s not so easy to discuss the issues of

Muslims in American society.



As the nations Muslim population grows, issues of religious

accommodation are becoming more common, and more complicated. Many

public school districts are grappling with questions about prayer rooms

for Muslim students, halal food in cafeterias and scheduling around

important Muslim holidays. As Muslim students point out, the school

calendar already accommodates Christians, with Sundays off and

vacations around Christmas and Easter.

[TBC: Schools have Sundays off because of Christian influence on the Americas culture. Much the same might be said concerning the variousholidays. On the other hand, requests by Christians are increasinglyresisted by school administrations. Muslim student demands seem to meet

little resistance.]
