The ACLU Finds Religion
The ACLU has gone to great lengths to suppress Christianity, but it isn't hostile to all religions. On September 11, Islam earned a sacred place in liberal hearts, winning the pack of jackals known as the ACLU to its side.
New York's Department of Correctional Services is being sued on behalf of a correction officer named Abdus Samad N. Haqq, who wants to wear a Muslim kufi to work. Uniformed officers aren't supposed to wear visible symbols of their faith on the job. The DOJ is behind the suit, but an initial suit was brought on Haqq's behalf by the ACLU, which complained that his religious rights were being violated. Maybe if Christians started flying planes into buildings, the ACLU's new concern for religious liberty would spread beyond Islam.
The Department of Correctional Services has already changed its policy, according to spokeswoman Linda Foglia, who says that exceptions to the ban on religious symbols will be considered "on a case by case basis." She wouldn't say what the process would be for determining which symbols would be allowed and which wouldn't. The unspoken rule may be something along the lines of: Islam permitted, Christianity forbidden.
By the way, the spread of violent Islam in our prisons is a ticking time bomb.
On a tip from Wiggins.

Well, if they are not representatives of Islam, then peaceful Muslims such as yourself should shut them out and silence them, right?
Why don't we hear the "true" Muslims in large numbers coming out and speaking out against these people that blow themselves up in the name of Islam?

To umar...
Thanks for accussing us of being racists. It's been a day or two since someone has. But then again Islam, is a religion not race, so how do justify accussing us of being racists when race never came into the original post?

Yes Islam is a religion not a race. There is no Catholic race, or Methodist race either but that still doesn't alter Mole's comment about Muslims, en mass, saying No and working to lock up their own home grown terroist.
Also, since we are on the subject, what is the Muslim position on the book, "The Elders of Zion?" Is it a true document?

If irony were rain, I'd be all wet now.
First, we have the aclu, who won't allow Christians to wear a symbol of their faith in a public school (seperation of church and state, you know).
Then we have the aclu on the side of a Muslim who wants to wear a symbol of his faith in a state run prison (freedom of religion, you know).
And to top it off, a "person of Islamic personage" makes the valid point that not all Muslims are for pro-bombing, anymore than we are all pro-kkk. Unfortunately I'm willing to denounce the kkk and anyone who twists Christianity and uses it for evil, yet most Muslims are either strangely quiet or openly pro-terrorist-anti-America when it comes to the evils the Islamoterrorists are doing.
