"Our country is based on the principles of Judeo-Christian."

Our country has always been based on the principles of freedom of speech, thought, religion, association...freedom.

To make the claim that our country was based on the principles of Judeo-Christianity would be making the argument that our country was founded on the principles of religious intolerance, which as we all know, is the absolute end result of any government based on strict theocratic principles.

Well I am sure when the constitution was enacted they had no idea about Radical Muslims.

My reply: I absolutly agree with YOU! The USA is not a Theocracy it is a democracy, with freedom of religion for all. Businesses have the right to bse their business on religion if they want to OR NOt. If a raido station wants to have a muslim Call to Prayer it is their choice.

If muslims don't want to listen to the radio stations that play my CHRISTmas music they can change the channel. If I dont' want to listen to radio stations that have a Muslim Call to Prayer then i will change the station.

The one thing that bothers me about this "Conservative" web site is the lack of religious tolerance for other religions. I happen to be Christian however I am cognizent that other people have a different religion than I do, and I am thankful that in the USA we don't have a National Religion. No way to I want this country to be run on Religion, Christin or otherwise...
