Campus Lunacy

[Xavier_Onassis]

I favor not favoring any religion the best way possible,

The best way possible is to condemn all efforts EQUALLY

[Xavier_Onassis]

Again, you are the principal. A couple  of Muslims have  prostrated them selves on the floor and are praying in Arabic.
You can ignore them. After all, Christian kids can pray to themselves seated in their desks, can't they?
Keep an eye on them so they do not get kicked in the butt.
Send them home. (they will be martyrs for Allah)
Give them detention. (They will be martyrs for Allah)
Provide a prayer room.


Do you have any other suggestions?
As for teaching the Koran as a religious document, I would have none of that.

It is like fundamentalist Christianity, .........................

There are important differences.

NO, they can't.  Any sign that they're praying, hands closed, kneeling, clutching a bible, is condemned, and they're told they are not allowed on a public campus.  You're doing exactly what I knew you would...you're rationalizing to justify why it should be ok to allow Muslim prayer....because they'll do it anyway??  Is that it??

No, the "suggestion" here is to condemn it as much as you condemn any Christian efforts, while on campus

   I was in a courtroom for a traffic ticket and witnessed a Judge and a Muslim interact.

    The Bailiff instructed everyone to stand and remove hats, this guy did not.

    He did not mind standing , but he kept his hat on.

      So the judge addressed him directly.

        ... after a few questions were answered ...

        The judge was assured that no disrespect to the court was intended and that the reason for the hat was religious obligation.

      So he allowed it.

        There is room for discretion and accommodation, but there must be good reason for it , if it causes a larger problem.

       I remember news accounts of several Muslim women who wanted to keep scarves on their hair or their faces partially hidden when their pictures were taken for drivers license,  this seems to be where the line is , they were disallowed because having a masked picture on the drivers license ruins it as an ID and so ruins it as a permit to drive the states roads. They were still free to walk or ride , just no driving with a masked ID.

I will have arguements from this but the scarf and covering of the face is cultural not a religious thing. Notice not all muslim women cover up.
