"But at least one institution has rejected their demands, arguing that the university is secular and it does not want to set a precedent for requests granted in the name of religious beliefs."
I believe religion should be something "personal." As such, I believe those whose university class schedules conflict with their personal beliefs should be willing to make personal sacrifices.
Seems to me to be a possible entrepreneurial endeavor for someone. Creating a university catering to a specialized set of students--those Muslims who wish to practice their religion at a higher priority than their schooling, in this case. I'm sure that there are such in predominately Muslims countries already. Ah, but this set of students want it in a foreign country that is not predominately Muslim.
I do "believe" that the word "priorities' is the apropos term here.
