But note they were NOT sued by Americans United for Separation of Church and State - the organization that only goes after Christian groups
Thats because these issues are first and foremost political issues, not religious issues.
From the ACLUs perspective, they favor Islam not because theyre fond of the religious tenets of Islam, but because anything that brings down traditional Judeo-Christian, Western Civilization is automatically a political ally. Its the old maxim, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Of course, those alliances never really work out, do they. Look how grateful Stalin was after we saved his butt during WW2.
Some day, one day soon I hope, an Islamic militant will behead a traditional western lefty, maybe a gay member of the EU. Then the left will be faced with the obvious dilemma who would you rather have as your next door neighbor, a devout evangelical Christian or a devout Muslim?
That lawsuit would have to be filed by the Americans United for Separation of Mosque and State. I heard such an organization was formed, but all the members were beheaded.
Liberal groups support the separation of CHURCH and State. They have never claimed to support a separation of Mosque and State.
