Illinois: Muslim Students at Catholic Univ Complain Christmas Gets Too Much Attention
December 17, 2017 / creeping   
 

Muslim students who knew they were enrolling into a Catholic university are now expressing dismay that come Christmas time, the campus is decorated for the holiday season. They want Islamic holidays to receive the same attention even though they represent just a small fraction of the entire student population.

Loyola University Chicago is 60% Catholic and 40% a mixture of other religions, including other Christian denominations, Jewish, etc. The individual categories aren’t broken down. However, out of a total of 16,673 students for this academic year, only about 800 Muslims are enrolled. That’s less than 5%, yet, they want their traditions to be represented equally.

It's kind of hard to accommodate a Muslim's annual holiday when its calendar is 3% shorter than, well, an actual solar year and holidays end up in totally different seasons every 8 years.

They're free to go to a Muslim University, if they wish.
