That is NOT a student assembly. This is a demostration/mass protest:
1
: a company of persons gathered for deliberation and legislation, worship, or entertainment
an assembly of religious leaders
2
capitalized : a legislative body
specifically : the lower house of a legislature
3
👉 : a meeting of a student body and usually faculty for administrative, educational, or recreational purposes👈
A school assembly was held in the auditorium.

@HistoPol @porkroll @luckytran so if the students hold a prayer, they magically become legitimate in your eyes?

Not necessarily. If these prayers threatened other people, certainly not (e.g. "Dear God please curse the people of XY b/c...)
However, as the separation of church and state is an iron princilple of Western democracy, I am not sure if a uni campus of the state is the best place fo a mass congregation...
Also, given 9/11, I could imagine that a lot of students would feel unsecure if (theoretically) a big crowd of people started...

..shouting "الله أَكْبَر Allahu akbar" in unison.
On the other hand, if the campus were that of an Islamic university, that might be appropriate.
It all depends on the circumstances, I guess.
