This post covers one of those stories you may well have already seen elsewhere: the D.C. Human Rights office's investigation (which is going to take six months; what's up with that?) into Catholic University not providing a prayer-and-contemplation space for Muslim students that is free of Christian iconography.
Apparently this righteous-indignation-hustling attorney who filed the complaint has an obsession with causing hassles for CU. He has filed previous suits regarding alleged discrimination against women and homosexuals.
The obvious question that arises is "What the hell are Muslims doing at a Catholic school?" If the answer is something like "It has programs and departments that particular Muslim students want to enroll in that aren't available at most places," well, the obvious rejoinder is, "Hey, all life's a trade-off, Mustafa. You want that program? Here are the conditions."
