They should let it be said, or any normal person will assume all 17 are Islamic.

Let's not kid ourselves. We have religious police in America. It's of relatively recent origin, but we do have them. They don't (yet) take your life for violating the national religion's requirements, but they will take your freedom, your time, your money. Each time the government enforces it's religion of "neutral religious expression" it violates the tolerance that the Founders expected when they wrote the First Amendment. Each time someone is taken to court for praying, for having harmless signs, symbols, or items of religion that are ruled inappropriate because they violate the "religion of neutrality" and someone is "offended", then the religious police and the religious judiciary are enforcing their religion. Each time Hobby Lobby's are taken to court at the cost of millions of dollars simply to defend their religious worldview or have it stripped from them, then the religious police are enforcing the "religion of neutrality" that has been imposed on our nation.

And when the only ones not exempted are the Little Sisters of the Poor because they have religious objections to contraception, euthanasia, and abortion, then the "religion of neutrality" is being vindictive and indicating they have every intention of forcing their religion down throats and forcing believers to knowingly elevate the government and its acceptable religion above God.

Make no mistake "enforced neutrality" is NOT free exercise and IS an establishment of religion.
