Dragging this back on topic;
If an Islamic College is set up I don't have a problem with it. America is a free country and anyone can start a college! It may even be more educationally balanced than some of the Christian ones if a traditional Islamic educational teaching method is held to.
that doesn't make it "good".
It's not a question of whether a religious centred college is 'good'.
yo, I didn't introduce the word into the thread, I was simply responding to the "Cool. Good for them" crowd.
Is it 'good' that they have the freedom of religion? yes.
Is their religious choice 'good' for them? no
Is their religious choice 'cool'? Again, no.
I know you're opposed to pluralism, but I think that so long as we
are a pluralistic country it is "cool" and "good" to hear Muslims talking about founding an institution where they can go and study here rather than somewhere more polarizing and divisive overseas.
