Nice move from the university. It feels like more and more people give their frustration with Muslims a way. Muslims are in a mindset of conquest and Germans had be to tolerant and weak for a long time. But they push to hard and soon the mood will swing back. At least I hope so. Still there are to many wimpy, soft, liberal Germans out there. The more the Muslims will push their aggressive agenda, the more people will hopefully wake up.

After anger over the use of a room for prayers and meditation the Technical University of Dortmund has closed its room of silence. In an open letter on the website of the University of the Rector made now to point out that the space in the physics building on the campus can not be converted by Muslims for their own purposes. Therefore it would be closed and continued to be used for teaching and research or as a baby room, the Rector in the letter announced, which referred to the protest of some Muslim students.
Visitors to the area have complained that the majority had been separated and provided with prayer rugs and Qur'ans. Female visitors were noted at the entrance of Muslim male users that they have access to only the smaller part of the room.
The letter is addressed to the three representatives of the group of 408 Muslim believers who make up to university information only 1.2 percent of all students and have signed a petition for the reopening of the room. "We also strongly welcome that you express in your letter against discrimination of certain groups of students, as well as to avoid this discrimination, the closure of the space was needed", justifies the Rector step.
It has been massively violated the desire of the Rector, after was "to keep ideologically and religiously neutral" the appearance of the room. Muslim students have "several prayer rugs and Korans stored" and "designed leaflets in Arabic script and German language teaching". The latter were aimed particularly at women. In a similar action Muslims had already pointed out in the early days of the space project that students wear headscarves and would waive perfume.
Now the students were obviously more radical. As it is said in the letter, "female visitors of the room at the entrance were repeatedly intercepted by Muslim male users and pointed out that they only had access to a small, optically and actually confined space part, the larger space part is only reserved for men". A large-format image of a forest, which originally hung on the wall was erected as a room divider to gender segregation. With curtains the room in a bright area for the men and shared a dark for the women was.
The Rector of TU Dortmund can not sit on him the charge of discrimination and anti-Muslim racism. The "room of silence" had unfortunately failed the above mentioned reasons and after a site visit. "Your comments on the importance of integration, we rely on you and allow us to add, that this knowledge and acceptance of force in the Federal Republic of Germany laws belongs to which we are all bound," said the University and refers to Article 3 of the Basic Law : "equality between men and women is an inviolable core area."

We will stand tall in the sunshine
With the truth upon our side
And if we have to go alone
We'll go alone with pride
For us, these conflicts can be resolved by appeal to the deeply ingrained higher principle embodied in the law, that individuals have the right (within defined limits) to choose how to live. But this Western notion of individualism and tolerance is by no means a conception in all cultures. - Theodore Dalrymple
