The Michigan chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations said the four were not arrested for religious reasons, but because they did not follow the festival's rules, which were that religious groups could only hand out material in designated areas after paying for booth space.

How about all these extreme religious freaks get into a religious war and knock each other out.

A lot of the news is about these extreme religious groups. So let them have at it against themselves. End of problem.
