Everyone keeps saying they have to pray 5 times a day, great for them , but not in public schools. Muslim law states they must pray ...... whatever, they should have thought of that before moving to a non muslim country. And if they are not happy in America because the schools tell them they can't pray, I'll help them pack !! I see this as an infringement on the separation of church and state plain and simple.

As for the ACLU well They seem happy to go after many aspects of christianity yet muslims in san diego are allowed to say prayer in two different classrooms one male and the other female during school time and they do nothing about that



the hypocrisy is astounding
Yes it is.....I'm sick with it. Soon it will be time to take back America......

Why not? The noontime prayer takes 2 or 3 minutes. If a school converts an empty classroom to a "quiet room", and anyone can use it anytime, what's the problem?

The college I attend has a "Quiet Room" that is officially for private reflection. Anyone can pray there, as long as it doesn't involve blood or fire.

Oh, and Christian kids can pray in school whenever they want. They just can't be led in prayer.

As I've been saying.....

We are treading or should I say cantering down a dangerous path.

The US, thanks to all the liberal special interest groups, the ACLU and so forth care more for outsiders than gool old Americans.

If we continue this route we will loose this once great country.

Know what I'd say? Go wash your smelly feet at home, just make sure you pass the nearest airport on the way........

Torrey, you are a complete turd. You say to drop a granade in thier shorts. You idiot, it takes two, at a minimum.

You say suitcase, hell, it may have been carry on. Might be 3 or 4 isles away. Make it count, drop it in their shorts.

Well, actually, no, it wasn't. "Under God" was added to the Pledge of Allegiance during the height of the Red Scare in the 1950s. The pledge had existed just fine for decades without serving as a religious oath.

I agree. It's time to get rid of leaders who wipe their feet on the Constitution.
