Will Australia Import Saudi Arabia?

The Australian via LFG:

MUSLIM university students want lectures to be rescheduled to fit in with prayer timetables and separate male and female eating and recreational areas established on Australian campuses.

La Trobe University International chief officer John Molony says:

"That would seriously inconvenience other people at the college and it is not institutionally viable," he told The Australian. "We are a secular institution ... and we need to have a structured timetable."

Mr Van Run said that Saudi students were fully aware that the university was secular before coming to study there. "They know well in advance the class times," he said.

Not to mention that gender apartheid has no place in the West.

"It's reasonable to ask for the lectures to be shifted around on Friday," Sister Abdel-Halim said. "But if it's going to cause havoc with the timetable, I don't think it's really feasible to ask for every single prayer to be catered for."

One prayer at a time.

Not to mention that Saudi Arabians are generally undesirables who are not deserving of being allowed to set foot on Western soil.
