And by the way...Since it's strictly a Constitutional Matter according to you, I can only assume you wouldn't object to a 6 ton statue of the Koran being erected anywhere Muslims would like to place it??

Of course you wouldn't. It's all about Freedom of Religion, isn't it? And not the Christians (Mostly) that founded this wonderful country...

Moore's Audacious Attorney [or, Losing Your Case On Purpose]
Difficult as the case would have been from the start, it was legal arguments presented by Moore's team that rendered the case essentially unwinnable, according to Sekulow.

"I would have argued the monument and the display are no different than the monument and the display in the United States Supreme Court building," Sekulow said.

"I would not have argued that the First Amendment does not apply to the states. I believe it does, so I would have taken a very different approach, not to say one's right and one's wrong," he said.

Another stupid and pitiful argument from the frogs. Of the 55 founders of this nation 52 were Christians and 3 were deists. Mostly Calvinists, a couple of Catholics and a smattering of others. Not a Muslim to be found. That goes to the historical significance of the Ten Commandments' place in American jurisprudence.

Now as for the Koran, it doesn't offend me at all. Like you, I'm neither a book burner nor an enemy of the First Amendment.

In fact, I think it would serve the country well to display relgious books of all kind and discuss them.

Having a Bible, a Koran, the Talmud and any other religious book you want in the court room to be swron on to tell the truth , the whole truth and nothing but the truth is fine with me.

How about you Mr Moderate?
