Christian Group Has Too Many Christians
"Impermissible discrimination" means
non-Christians must be permitted to lead a Christian
fellowship, says Rutgers.
Curtis instructed the student to "modify the wording
of your charter" by Jan. 31 "or I will have no choice but to
revoke your University recognition."
He issued similar instructions to at least two other
Christian organizations at UNC. No similar instructions were
issued to other religious groups.
UNC's Islamic student organizations are not required
to allow Christians to take over their leadership positions.
Neither are Rutgers's Islamic groups.
The Islamic Society and Friends of Rutgers
University's stated purpose is, "to bring together the
Muslims at Rutgers and its surroundings in an Islamic
brotherhood so that they could practice and promote their
faith, preserve its traditions, and help in better
understanding of Islam among Muslims from various
nationalities."
This prompted Alan Charles Kors, the University of
Pennsylvania History professor who co-founded FIRE, to say:
"It is prohibited at this public university for a Christian
organization to be Christian." Ultimately, the UNC Chapel
Hill decision was reversed, but Rutgers intends to fight on.
Rutgers University has religious fellowships for
Islamic students, Ba'hai, Buddhists, Sikhs, Hindus . . . can
you imagine if an Islamic group had to allow Christians and
Jews into leadership positions?
The Name of Jesus sends the world into a frenzy.
Mohammed, Buddah, Brahma or Vishnu are welcome, but Jesus is
not. Why is Jesus more of a threat than Mohammed or Vishnu?
Well, simply stated, the rest of them are dead. Sorry.
But Jesus is alive, and His Name is an affront to the world
system.
