What if ...

A group of Muslim Imams took exception to some policy of the Preident's, as opposed to the Catholic bishops? Somehow, I don't think the results would be the same:

When did the 1st Amendment change from basically saying that you can practice whatever religion you want and you won’t be burned at the stake as a heretic and we’re not going to form or recognize a national religion like the Church of England? When did it change to “everyone everywhere has to do what a bunch of old catholics in funny hats wants, because otherwise it hurts their feelings?” And why does it only apply to certain religions?

I seriously wish other religions would get in on the act. I wish Keith Ellison would start sponsoring bills that allow insurers to cut people’s benefits if they don’t pray to Mecca a certain number of times a day. Or someone Jewish proposing a bill requiring circumcisions or you can’t get health insurance. Just flood the zone with bullshit so people can see how out of control our concept of religious liberty has become.

...

How many teabaggers would be screaming "Sharia Law"?

Great thanks to Jill for the link.

Ah! The reason Teahaddists were so frightened of Sharia Law was precisely because they intended to ensconce their silly religious precepts and christian fascism into Law.

But, they needed to soften the ground so Peter King conducted multiple tribunals and 20 states crafted legislation to make Sharia illegal.

And you seem to forget that Totalitarians proved during the invisible Bush years that Muslims aren't human...

Seems anybody who ain't white and Christian ain't human to them.
