So where’s the ACLU? Oh, that’s right, they’re too busy defending the rights of muslim terrorists to be bothered defending the rights of Christians.

The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty is helping them. Here is a letter that the Becket Fund wrote on their behalf. I thought this part to be particularly interesting:

One particularly glaring example of how uncompelling the Town's interests are here is the Town's smoke detector requirement. The Amish refuse to purchase and install smoke detectors because their faith does not allow them to use electricity. The Town's response has been that the Amish must have smoke detectors, but only during the inspection. According to the Town, the Amish could remove the smoke detectors without penalty once the inspections are completed. This sort of evasion of the spirit, if not the letter, of the law, is no help to the Amish, who consider such behavior fraudulent and deceptive. More importantly, it is also no help to the Town, which cannot possibly have a compelling safety interest in requiring smoke detectors if it allows them to be removed immediately after inspection.
