I wonder how long it will be before the ACLU will back that nonmuslims cannot testify against muslims!

In point the ACLU almost never brings such an issue except when it is a Judeo/Christian issue.

I’m not aware of any establishment issues involving a non-Judeo-Christian religion. If you are, please cite them.

Actually I do know the difference, but the point still stands as the ACLU has passed over, or fought against other cases when other religions were primary. In point the ACLU almost never brings such an issue except when it is a Judeo/Christian issue.

Yet I believe the ACLU may find this case to come back to haunt them when they go back to their usual MO and assail religious freedom of choice.

That’s only because you have trouble distinguishing between Establishment and Expression cases. The only time they “assail religious freedom of choice” is when the “choice” is being made by a government body or one of its agents.
