Thanks, SpookBrat. I heard a news commentator who said, "Well, how would you feel if someone said, 'Under Alla!'?"
What strikes me is the ignorance these people display! Do they not know that Alla is the muslim word for God?????? Do they not know that even the Muslim religion is supposedly structured around "God"? What the heck is this all about? Atheists are suddenly going to count over the majority? Aren't we a nation that believes that the majority rules? When did that change? Yes, minorities should be given proper considerations, but you do not strip the majority of their rights to support the notions of the minority. I feel the need to make cookies just to get my frustrations out on something! Ever tried to peal cookie dough off the ceiling?
