I have a liberal friend I work with who is a member of the ACLU. Her argument is that for a religion to be banned from public entanglement with the government it has to be a religion that has lots of local adherents. Same with Mulim Prayer Footbaths she says. That's OK. See, because the Muslims at the University of Michigan aren't attempting to get entangled with government, the govenment can choose to become entangled with them. See, it's like abortion, excuse me, I mean "choice". In this case the government gets to choose a religion to support in some way because it's for the good of all. It's only "choice" and "choice" is a good thing. Unless you want to take your kid out of public school. Then "choice" is bad. I love talking to this ACLU members, I learn so much. Hope you did too.
