"It doesn't even have to be Islamicists. There is plenty of room in this country for the free expression of whatever religion anyone espouses. I just think that the government should shy away from it"

Yeah...there's one in Ohio where some teenager and the ACLU are suing for the right to put up a giant statue of a penis because the kid says he's started his own penis worshipping religion. Even though he's the only member of it, he says it's his right to erect his statue alongside the Ten Commandments.

This stuff is why I opt for the historical/cultural argument whenever possible.

Actually, the suit in Ohio involves one guy in his 60s or 70s & the suit is to remove the Ten Commandments monuments totally, not to display his on the same grounds. A suit he filed after the school rejected his penis monument. (I have a feeling it was more to make a point instead of him being an actual....uh....penis-worshipper).
