Man Sues Catholic University of America for Being... Catholic

John F. Banzhaf III claims the school "[denies Muslim students] equal access to the benefits CUA provides to other student groups.... It is alleged that CUA does not provide space -- as other universities do -- for the many daily prayers Muslim students must make, forcing them instead to find temporarily empty classrooms where they are often surrounded by Catholic symbols which are incongruous to their religion.
...
"It shouldn't be too difficult somewhere on the campus for the university to set aside a small room where Muslims can pray without having to stare up and be looked down upon by a cross of Jesus."
Oh, good Lord... what patience God requires with us...
