Probably a good ruling from the Supreme Court there. I grew up in an era when prayers were said in all public schools, including mine. And I was better for it.
But it’s a different world today. Suppose some Muslim-American elected official wants to launch into an Islamic prayer right before a meeting. Would that be OK?
I think not. Better to say your prayers before you leave your house, and leave it at that.

If that is hwat the people elected- then yes- it should be allowed- not that i would be in favor of it- our government allows muslims to open in prayer- Jews- Christians- etc-
[[Better to say your prayers before you leave your house, and leave it at that.]]
I disagree- Our country has been holding prayers asking for God’s blessings on meetings for hundreds of years- and noone was hurt by doing so- Banning prayer- anywhere- is a violation of the constitutional right to freedom of religion- even for government employees
“Suppose some Muslim-American elected official wants to launch into an Islamic prayer right before a meeting. Would that be OK?”
No, that wouldn’t be ok. But a normal American prayer is.
“Suppose some Muslim-American elected official wants to launch into an Islamic prayer right before a meeting. Would that be OK?”
Fine with me. It will shut the piehole of the Virtue Signalers.
“Muslim American”...!!?
Better put as “Muslim in America” whose loyalty is to the world Ummah & Sharia law, not to the `Great Satan’.
I think group prayer on the sidewalk outside the courthouse followed by the Pledge of Allegiance is unassailable unless Antifa thugs show up, then it’s a matter of personal combat and all bets are off.
>>Suppose some Muslim-American elected official wants to launch into an Islamic prayer right before a meeting.
Will he do it in English or in Arabic caterwauling? Do I have to get on my knees and participate?
Here’s the thing about praying. If all the people around you are praying and you think it is silly, you just don’t do it. I was on a submarine in the 80s that had blown a seawater line at test depth. We lost propulsion, we were filling up fast in the stern, had lost all speed, and was sinking. The first emergency blow failed to bring the stern up and made the problem worse. We sunk way below Test Depth and the guy next to me was praying. I was an atheist in those days, so I remember looking at him and thinking, “well, that’s a silly way to die”. I was neither offended nor was I inspired by his praying. He did it and I didn’t.
So, in answer to your question, let the muzzle makes sounds to his alluh. Then he can shut while a Christian prays to God.
Suppose some Muslim-American elected official wants to launch into an Islamic prayer right before a meeting. Would that be OK?......Of course it would, to the left. And then they would institute Sharia law.
Good point.
You tell the muzzi that when Christians can pray openly in muzzi countries he can pray in ours.That fixes that nonsense.
Yes, it would be. One cannot be forced to join a prayer, but one should be free to say one publicly, regardless of what prayer it is.
It is getting to the point where the prayer will be:
“Praise the Lord & Pass the Ammunition”.
I have heard this argument for years and what it has accomplished is the removal of our founding religion and paved the way for Islam. When they decide too they will.
