> Non-sactuary areas are OK for Orthodox Jews. Here:

From what I read, it's just the images and pictures that trouble the muslims:

"Umar said, ‘We do not enter your churches because of the statues and pictures.’ Ibn ‘Abbas used to pray in the church provided there were no statues in it." (Bukhari vol.1, chapter 54)

Yeah, I freely admit ignorance of Islam, other than to note that that Korans says that I am descendant of rats and dogs.

Even with that digust, I support the freedom from state-sponsored events that would de facto force them to violate their religious dictates.
