They have the right to religious freedom and the right to assemble peaceably. Just like we do.
When we start to take that right away from a group for whatever reason, then where will that end?
The concept that the United States is a Christian Nation is a fallacy.
The US is a constitutional republic, it isn't defined as "Christian" in any of it's founding documents. Either everyone has freedom or no-one has. We can't deny muslims the right to assemble peaceable without ripping that right away from ourselves.

Whole two-edged sword kinda thing.
My only issue is that any muslim that comes to this country or that is in this country had better understand seperation of church and state.
That doesnt mean kids should be forbidden from praying in school but it does mean we dont use our bibles/korans to make law.
Anyone advocating Sharia law be inacted in ANY FORM in this country needs to be tossed out on their heads. period.

Re: Capitol Hill gathering to inspire Muslim aggre
We as Christians have attempted to widdle away at the Separation of Church and state for decades. I've always argued that this is dangerous because Islam is the fastest growing religion in the United States. Get read... an American Islamic Coalition is going to move for serious political clout within the next two or three generations.
We need to completely secularize our government and insure equal rights for all to protect ourselves.

Re: Capitol Hill gathering to inspire Muslim aggre
Has anyone heard anything about this?
I don't know if this is true or not, but it doesn't sound too far fetched. If true, this could be considered the same as failing to pay taxes... which people do jail time for.
Sen. John Ensign (R-Nev.) received a handwritten note Thursday from Joint Committee on Taxation Chief of Staft Tom Barthold confirming the penalty for failing to pay the up to $1,900 fee for not buying health insurance.
Violators could be charged with a misdemeanor and could face up to a year in jail or a $25,000 penalty, Barthold wrote on JCT letterhead. He signed it "Sincerely, Thomas A. Barthold."
