And we're discussing the reasons why it shouldn't.

The real problem, in my mind, is that anybody would think this is acceptable behavior. When the total absence of reason that is rooted in religious ignorance begins to dictate people's actions, and they actually think that other people should give a fuck, then you really do have a problem in society*. The fact that this is taking place "in four or five universities" demonstrates that it isn't just an isolated problem. It's popping up all over the place, and it needs to be FORCEFULLY SQUASHED.

*and the same applies to religious morons in America: tyring to stop AIDS with abstinence, for instance
