"Perched above the press seating area inside the U.S. Supreme Court chamber is a marble image of Prophet Muhammad.

"Sculpted in a frieze, the Muhammad statue carries a sword and the Quran and stands in the company of more than a dozen other “great lawgivers of history.” They range from Moses to Confucius to Napoleon to John Marshall, some of whom appear in an accompanying frieze along the south side of the room." - link

The point is:

Moses and The Ten Commandments appear in multiple prominent locations on the U.S. Supreme Court building. This is not a furtherance of religions, rather it is an acknowledgement of the foundation of our society and jurisprudence.

Until recently moving to the Oklahoma Judicial Center the Oklahoma Supreme Court was housed in the Oklahoma state capitol and, I believe, still has courtrooms in that building. Why shouldn’t the Ten Commandments be on the Capitol grounds? Does the Oklahoma court reject the foundations of our society and jurisprudence? If so, what foundations have they substituted?
