Again, if you read my first post on this thread, I have no idea if this is a legitimate muslim religious objection. Indeed, I doubt it is. If so, however, it is, and should be, legally protected.

The school doesn't bow to my beliefs, why should they bow to anyones? It does not matter what they believe, if my belief can't be honored, why in the world should theirs?

I have no idea what beliefs you hold, so I do not know how to answer that.

Entering into a Christian sanctuary is prohibitted for certain religions, definiately Orthodox Jews, and presumably muslims.

This is an official, state-sponsored, event and a big deal to get through high school.

I could not have gone to this graduation when I was 17 and graduating high school.

And I am hardly a "new" immigrant to this country. My family has been in Texas since roughly 1497. One ancestor (one of two Jews there) died in the Alamo and many others fought with the Texians.

They fought because they were promised the right, in the Republic of Texas, to practice Judaism freely, which is something they could not do where the official relgion was Roman Catholicism. (Indeed, one was burned at the stake during the Mexican Inquisition.)

Freedom of Religion is a big deal.

And, the way to insure that Jews and Christians get to practice their religion is by making sure twits like this little moon worshipper get their rights.

Period.
