Besides, how can a historical display force anyone into a religion?

It certainly promotes the religion, whether or not its succesful at actually converting anybody. How would you feel were you to walk into a courtroom and see commentaries on Shar'ia law posted all over the walls? I don't know about you, but that would scare the s--t out of me.

Of course! They are anathema to our laws and justice. Christianity is not.

I made this point earlier to someone who suggested a non-Christian may assume by seeing this monument that they would not be treated equally in this court. The problem with that argument is that the Judeo-Christian foundation is what ENSURES equal treatment in court. It is codified in our laws. It is not encoded in Shar'ia.

The more we argue against our own heritage, the closer we come to finding Shar'ia on our shores.

Then you scare pretty easy.

A historical display is not a religious comentary. And if Shar'ia law was foundational to American jurisprudence, one should expect to see it in a historical display.

There is no religion being established here. Move along.
