>>>However, the gay activists consider the Boy Scouts to be a greater threat than Osama.
I'm very disappointed that I don't see more threads about that here at FR.
Then again, how many causes can we fight? There are too many threads to keep track of as there is.

No healthy civilization censors its own noble history!
This is the one comment that strikes me and leaves me dumbfounded.
For years I have been trying to understand and comprehend why it is that 'we' have become our worst enemy.
Intellectuals around the world are discussing this as we sit here now. They are sitting and watching a black comedy that has become almost unbearable to watch. Watching the fall of America from the outside is like watching a train wreck in slow motion.
What respect do you expect when the world looks at you, a superpower, as nothing more than a self-loathing, pompous behemoth, a doofus constantly tripping over your own shoelaces and walking into doors.
At first there was a slight tinge of pity, but that has turned as it becomes obvious that we are in fact getting our just deserts. Seriously, How can you respect someone who has no respect for themselves?
At a time when America needs to show strengh, solidarity and leadership to the world we show only our flaws, weakness and apathy thereby emboldening our adversaries and demoralizing those who once stood by our side.
Remind you of any television show recently?
Americans want to be liked and loved. Constantly questioning themselves, concerned about 'world opinion', consensus and how the world sees them. "Why do they hate us so much?", Americans ask all the while never understanding that the prequisite to love is respect or even the realization that it is fact better to respected than loved.
There is no respect anymore. No respect for power, no respect for authority. No respect for anything and this is the problem. We need to accept that people and countries around the world don't need to like us in order to respect us.
Pakistan is flexing, testing the limits and jockying for position and status but at the same time not showing any respect.
What would Tony Soprano do?

This leftist tactic is designed to keep religion OUT of the school system. When people see the Muslim religion infiltrating the school system. Then (they hope) that will cause legislators to pass laws that bolster the atheist communist separation of church and state doctrine.
That's what this is all about.

Another obscenity being foisted upon this country by the freaks on the left. And I opened up a browser this morning to see that the Amerikan Snivel Liberties Union is suing a Pennsylvania school district for daring to teach the threory of Intelligent Design as a supplement to Darwinism. Public education in this country has become as vapid and corrupt as the U.N., and the ACLU and NEA is it's Kofi Annan. We. The People, should begin to treat them as such, and in earnest.

I'm in agreement with your idea of mass exodus. If that occured, Christianity would be restored to its' rightful place as the foundation of our nations' culture since Christians are the majority religion in America. The other religious groups would still be free to worship as they please, but the cultural suicide now being forced upon America via multiculturalists would be ended.
When I lived on Okinawa, we Americans were free to celebrate our holidays. But there was never any question that Okinawan festivals were for the celebration of their religious holy days and not for ours as well. And that's the way it should be.

Required reading during Ramadan:
Prophet of Doom - Islams Terrorist Dogma, In Muhammads Own Words
Islam is a caustic blend of regurgitated paganism and twisted Bible stories.
Muhammad, its lone prophet, conceived his religion solely to satiate his lust for power, sex, and money.
He was a terrorist.
And if you think these conclusions are shocking, wait until you see the evidence at www.prophetofdoom.net.

Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Qur'an should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on earth

Where is the ACLU? A suit should be filed against them for an obvious agenda that only pertains to a vandetta against Christianity singularly.
To: Calpernia
We use to pray in school too. That is no longer permitted.
You need to come to Merry England. My school (which was non-religious) had a prayer at the end of assembly every day (this was the case when I left in 1997, probably still is). The number of state-funded religious school (mainly Church of England, and Roman Catholic) is rising.
Oh and we had three terms, the Christmas term, the Easter term, and the summer term. At university these became the Martinmas term, the Candlemass term, and the Whitsun term (all of these being Christian feasts).

That would be a concern if any student in this country had to be in school on Christmas Day. Ramadan overlaps with normal school days.

Where is the ACLJU?
This is a governmental body installing a religion at this school!
Where is the separation of State and Religion with this action?

Ramadan overlaps with normal school days. As does its Christian equivalent, Lent.

"Schools may also support Muslim students by arranging a place for prayer."
I am sure someone has pointed this out, but if Boy Scouts meeting on an Air Force Base is a violation of the establishment clause, then this (as Mark Twain might say) flings the establishment clause down and dances upon it. It essentially turns the school into a mosque.
Why isn't the ACLU all over this like proverbial white on the proverbial rice? Could it be the ACLU is dedicated to purging Christianity from public life but not any other religion? Anyone out there care to explain the absence of the ACLU?
To: tjwmason
i thank god that i live in a decent country that holds true its beliefs - maybe all these yanks should emigrate to europe and the UK - at least we still have christmas and easter.
thats right yanks, much as you constantly go on about 'Eurabia' and the islamic 'hordes' coming over our borders, we're the ones with christmas and easter holidays and prayers and hymm singing in our state schools.
ring us back when its the same stateside.

Hmm - I hadn't thought of that. Very clever of them.
