Need to get facts right

... The Prayer room at McGill was given by the previous administration to Muslim students exclusively in recognition of the basic need of Muslims to pray five times a day. It was not a multi-faith room even though Muslims students at McGill welcomed such option.

Most students at McGill are sympathetic with the Muslim students, staff, and faculty, but the new administration showed a lot of insensitivity to Muslims and little respect to diversity and multi-culturism that it brags about while undermines it in reality.

I hope that people be accurate in their reporting on facts. The story about the Muslim students removing religious icons of other groups etc. is completely unfounded.
