They demonstrate their hatred for God and religious people by their non-stop frivolous lawsuits against anything religious.

Christians and ONLY Christians obviously. Funny you never hear about them going after Muslims breaching that wall of separation of church and state. Like this case where the school had to police themselves:

But there are limits to accommodation. Until recently, well-meaning administrators in two school districts (California and Texas) allowed Muslim students to use an empty classroom every Friday for congregational prayer, called Jum’ah. Given the complexities of student schedules, this arrangement meant that many students were released from class to join the hourlong gathering.
School officials have now put a stop to the practice in both places — not out of animus toward Islam, but because they realized they had crossed a First Amendment line.

They don't have the guts to routinely attack Muslims.

Well hell, here's one believer that doesn't give Muslims a pass either.

I feel that the majority of Muslims are kind, peaceful people. I feel this is true of the vast majority of Christians as well.

But they won't even police themselves, or work harder to jettison the more radical, extreme and violent segments. This is a culture where many members treat cattle better than women. People who are willing to beat or stone to death people for listening to music, or going to school. A religion in which far too many (even IF a minority) are willing to strap themselves with explosives, walk into a crowded area full of innocent people, and blow away as many of them as possible, or enter an "evil, Western, Satanic" dance club full of kids having fun and mow them down with guns.

As far as I'm concerned, it is going to get to the point where we have to just kill, whenever and wherever the opportunity arises, ANY Muslim that is in any way involved with ISIS and many of these other Jihadist organizations. They are Draconian, backwards and less than human. The most intolerant of intolerant people. They would love nothing more than to drag the whole world back to the Dark Ages (a time when, ironically, the world of Islam was relatively peaceful and made real advances in the arts, math, medicine, etc.)

Also, the idea that "We don't allow head coverings in school. That violates school policy. Oh, except for burkas. If you are Muslim, you get a pass."

That's BS, whether it's regarding Muslims or any other religious groups. They shouldn't receive special status or treatment. If the parents or kids want to insist on trying to violate some school's policies on this or that, well, there are private schools, home schooling, religious schools. Go there.

That's an odd view. What they actually do is stop one religious group or individual from imposing their own personal religious beliefs on others in an illegal manner. Doing so protects you, too.

I have no idea. Did anyone call them? They aren't omnipotent.

By imposing their OWN beliefs on the religious?

For starters, the incorrect idea that our Constitution requires a separation of church and state.
