What a load of twaddle!
Why were students of Somali or any other race, religion or sect to discriminate themselves by sitting at a particular table and then claim it as their own? Students, and others, should be encouraged to integrate.
If some person wishes to continue believing a fairy-story that is promulgated as a "religion" by those who wish to control, then that is the privilege of the individual. It is not for others to have to comply with the mores and fetishes of those beliefs.
If the "offending" student had sat with vegetarians, or eaten ham in front of Catholics on a Friday, would there have been the same commotion?
Why have Westerners to abstain from drinking alcohol while in a country with a Muslim religion? Those same Muslims are here getting pXXsed on a Saturday night in the discos and bars of European or other nations!
Would I be afforded full council support to build a Christian church in a Muslim country?
What is sauce for the goose.........
