Should Islam be Brought to Schools?

A growing number of groups are calling for public schools to make accommodations for their Islamic communities. Some are requesting a separate area for Muslim children to go when they’re fasting in order to avoid sitting in lunch rooms. Others are requesting footbaths in bathrooms, and separate rooms where Islamic students can go to perform daily prayers. Alyona asks, are Americas really ready for Islam to go mainstream in public schools? Alyona discusses this with Bahir Mustafa from the New York Civic Participation Project. Mustafa discusses how Muslims are not recognized in these schools.

Christopher Hitchens on Religion and the Separation of Church and State (1994 Part 9)

November 21, 1994 http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FChristopher-Hitchens%2Fe%2FB000APSKR0%3Fqid%3D1278211708%26sr%3D1-2-ent&tag=doc06-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325

Watch the full program: http://thefilmarchived.blogspot.com/2010/08/christopher-hitchens-and-mona-charen-on.html

The election of William Linn as Chaplain of the House on May 1, 1789, continued the tradition established by the Continental Congresses of each day’s proceedings opening with a prayer by a chaplain. The early Chaplains alternated duties with their Senate counterparts on a weekly basis. The two conducted Sunday services for the Washington community in the House chamber every other week.

In addition to opening proceedings with prayer, the Chaplain provides pastoral counseling to the House community, coordinates the scheduling of guest chaplains, and arranges memorial services for the House and its staff. In the past, Chaplains have performed marriage and funeral ceremonies for House members.

The Chaplain of the United States Senate opens each session (excluding Pro Forma sessions) of the United States Senate with a prayer. The Chaplain is appointed by majority vote of the members of the Senate. All chaplains have been Christian-based, however there is no rule saying that a person of a different religion is barred from this position.

The current Chaplain is Barry C. Black.

Article Six of the United States Constitution provides that “no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States”. Prior to the inclusion of the Bill of Rights, this was the only mention of religious freedom in the Constitution.

The Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution (Amendment XIV) is one of the post-Civil War amendments, intended to secure rights for former slaves. It includes the due process and equal protection clauses among others. The amendment introduces the concept of incorporation of all relevant federal rights against the states. While it has not been fully implemented, the doctrine of incorporation has been used to ensure, through the Due Process Clause and Privileges and Immunities Clause, the application of most of the rights enumerated in the Bill of Rights to the states.

The incorporation of the First Amendment establishment clause in the landmark case of Everson v. Board of Education has impacted the subsequent interpretation of the separation of church and state in regard to the state governments. Although upholding the state law in that case, which provided for public busing to private religious schools, the Supreme Court held that the First Amendment establishment clause was fully applicable to the state governments. A more recent case involving the application of this principle against the states was Board of Education of Kiryas Joel Village School District v. Grumet (1994).

Fox News: Pledging Allegiance To Bullshit

Land of the Free* shirts available at http://www.cafepress.com/C0ct0pus.379783997
note: recently, atheist billboards have been vandalized (one sign that read “one nation, indivisible” had “under god” spray painted under the phrase). these people really fail to realize what “one nation, indivisible (under god or not)” means…they use it as a tool to divide us, which is DEFEATING THE POINT, ASSHATS.

as for this video, repeating mindless bullshit for the sake of making people feel ‘patriotic’ is bullshit…plain and simple. take prayers for example…repeating a prayer amongst a group of people shouldn’t make you feel righteous.

God has answered our prayers

Thank you Grace Church for providing a healthy meal to the orphaned and vulnerable children of Makulalu Community School, Zambia. Since we started feeding our school attendance has increased. “We didn’t have anything to give the children, so we prayed and now God has answered those prayers.”
