Guess you would have no problem walking into a Court House and seeing a giant picture of Mohammud on the wall and a stone replica of the Quran knowing the Judge put it there out of his personal choice.

Are there some aspects of the Quran which can relate to and tolerate our American system of criminal justice as the Ten Commandments does? Don't muslims still cut off fingers and behead folks as punishment in their system of "justice?"

Heck, some day some devil worshipping judge might want to put a statue of the devil in the rotunda. But shouldn't the folks of Montgomery decide if the The Ten Commandments, or a picture of Mohammed, or a statue of the devil be removed?

No, I don't think so. I don't believe religious expressions in Govt should be left up the tyranny of the local majority.

My ancestors barely escaped France with their lives after the Catholics came to power and began persecuting Protestants.
We need that sort of thing here.
