In a sense, but what I meant was, their primary concern was with Protestantism and Catholicism, and in that context their interpretation of "Mohametism" was in terms of 18th-century comparative religious theory, which subscribed to the theory that the ethical principles of Judeo-Christianity as summed up in the Ten Commandments and Golden Rule were expressions of natural law essentially similar to those of all other major religions. In extending protection to Mohametism they weren't conceiving of it as something radically at odds with Judeo-Christian ethics but as something falling under the paradigmatic umbrella represented by the Ten Commandments and Sermon on the Mount. This regards more of an Enlightenment interpretation of Islam than Islam per se in its own right.

Yet another argument for vouchers, and for privatizing our educational system. The one-size-fits-all school system can't possibly accommodate everybody, but many small voucher schools certainly could. Everybody would win except the trial lawyers and the ACLU.

It can't be repeated enough!

i understand that over in america muslims cant express their religion, however in Australia muslims are able to freely express their religion in public schools however any other religion is frowned upon,from a personal experience:my cousin bought me a cross for a pressie it was'nt anything to do with religion but the day i took into a school it was removed from me immediantly.so my question what are your thoughts on my comment if one religion is excepted aLL religion should be?
