Muslims Protest Lack of Prayer Rooms

(Melbourne, Australia) Muslim students at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (often called RMIT) have scheduled a demonstration for tomorrow to protest a lack of prayer rooms. The religion of peace students claim discrimination and sexual harassment.
The RMIT Islamic Society want Muslim-only prayer rooms on the university's city campus.

In late 2007, construction work on the building that contained a dedicated Muslim prayer room meant the facility was demolished.

The Islamic society said the university reneged on its promise to replace that with another room.

"As a result, students and staff have been forced to pray outside in the heat of summer and the cold of winter,'' the society's website said.

It alleged females have been subjected to sexual abuse, harassment and religious vilification while praying.

They are now forced to pray two at a time in cramped women's rooms, corridors and empty classrooms.
University administration denies the Muslim students' allegations, noting that the school already has eight Muslim prayer rooms across three campuses.

For a supposedly religion of peace and tolerance, the Muslims are quite the award-winners when it comes to complaining and making demands.
