Recently I learned that a school district in Missouri is affording Muslim students a designated area in the school library for prayer. While most Muslim students in this particular school pray during their lunch time, the school has afforded them a place for religious activities at school. While most may feel that it is ok to provide these accommodations, and it very well may be, we must ask if the same accommodations are being afforded to Christian students.
The separation of church and state argument has been going on for years and has even reached the point where a single person in California can impact the rights and lives of hundreds of thousands of others by protesting a "moment of silence" at the beginning of school, or the mention of God in the Pledge of Allegiance.
So, have we become such a politically correct (better termed ass-kissing) nation such that we hand cuff the majority of Americans at the demand of a few and at the same time afford minority religions freedoms that we don't even grant to the majority of Americans? Do we afford Muslims freedoms to pray in our public schools, even provide a designated location for the prayer, yet at the same time we bend over backwards to ensure Christians are not afforded the same freedoms? Have we went so far to the left that we embrace Alla but shun God? They are not the same. And if you think they are, the same argument applies.
What do you think?
