Religion on campus

Source: The Economist:

Theology is losing ground in higher education across western Europe. But in certain specific ways, religion and religious culture have become a very hot campus topic, at British universities in particular. We’re not talking here about religion as a subject for academic study, but about faith as something students either do or don’t profess in their spare time. And in contrast with the paving stones or petrol bombs wielded by angry students in generations past, these days lawyers’ letters or calculated press leaks are the weapons of choice.

  1. “That applies to campus expressions of evangelical Christianity and, above all, to Islam.”

    One has to be careful while analysing such circumstances. Merely it is the wrong interpretation both in Christianity and Islam which is leading to such confusions. Take the example of members of Ahmadiyya Muslim Community not only in UK but in USA, Canada and rest of Europe you will never find such problems with the members of this Muslim Community. So if some thing has to be done it points to follow the correct interpretation of religion
