Before I throw the 25 January edition of Leeds Student away, which I have been keeping around for this quote, I should mention the article entitled “wash your hands od extremism” which appears on page 4. The article notes…
The University of Leeds has recently spent £50,000 on the Islamic Centre, more commonly known as the Green Room, a place where Muslims can go to pray, and which has washing facilities.
As Gijsbert has previously pointed out, given the student body is mostly composed of atheists (or at least non-theists) where is the atheist centre?

It is absolutely ridiculous! It frustrates me every time I think about it. Not only is there the Green Room which is run at University expense, the Emmanuel Centre (or Chaplaincy) is actually owned and run by the University since the Church ceded control on the provision that it continued to provide Christian support.

Burn it down? Is that too extreme?
Perhaps you need a refurendum about it
