  • "Crying out in the name of the lord" especially tongues has always been hilariously fake to me. Even when I was religious in my younger years.

    A Muslim would not have been told to stop in the first place

    Oh god here we go with this again...

    Chris I agree with you. As long as the school shouldn't promote or favor a religion. If this is a moment of silence and she was talking I'd be annoyed.

    Why is she doing it aloud? "I am Christian! Hear me roar! I will not be oppressed!" Or something dumb like that?

    Oh? Find me some precedent for Muslims bring asked to stop their prayers in the first place. Otherwise you're just going the fake outraged way where you insist people are actually being treated fairly as if the world actually works like that.

  • Although I am not religious in the slightest I applaud Christians for fighting for their religion. Either all religions are treated the same or none are. People don't stop Muslims because they're afraid of reprisal. Well, Christians, stand up and make them fear your reprisals as well. Muslim does this = staff doesn't say a word about it. Christian does it = told to stop. I'm not sure what woody is not getting but I imagine he's just being obstinate because he worships a flying spaghetti monster and he believes himself to be much smarter than others.

  • It is South Carolina. I don't think there would be an issue with the locals telling a muslim to cut out the yapping during a meeting. New York or a major city? I could see it. People are PC and feel like they don't want to offend minority ethnicities or religions. But in the vast majority of the U.S., I don't think anyone would feel compelled to give the muslim more play than the christian. In fact, I think there would be a good deal of nerves on end if someone just up and started barking about Allah during the a public meeting.

  • Google Muslims asked to stop prayers and see if you get the same results I did.

    Are we going apples to apples and comparing the same areas? Because I guarantee that the three muslims in South Carolina don't pipe up much. I live 5 blocks from a mosque and they are invisible in the community. Why? It is West Virginia.

    Because people from Ohio and Cali are just alike. I think that would be news to the people from both places.

    .....hmmm when did I imply that? I was just saying that people have different reactions in different areas. Having a gay pride parade in Mobile, AL probably wouldn't play as well as it does in Brooklyn.

  • Cleveland Ohio is not generally known as a liberal area a la nyc or Frisco as far as I know but I haven't seen too many people object to the gay games coming here

    But Cleveland is liberalsville compared to even a good deal of the south. People have different values in different areas.

  • And last I heard south Carolina is Jesus country so why ask them to stop praying?

    Maybe the people in that area aren't pussies and would be willing to tell anyone interrupting a meeting to quiet down, regardless of religion?

  • Fair enough

  • It is a moment of silence and she isn't being silent... Why does her religion matter?

    How about this one

    Christian doing this = fighting for her religion and fighting against the rampant oppression of christians

    Muslim doing this = trying to take over the country with sharia law, attacking america and Christianity

    You think a Muslim wouldn't get any slack for this? That's bullshit. A good area of the country wouldn't tolerate this. And if they did, you know it would end up on the blaze or fox or wherever else cal gets his news about how some Muslim somewhere is destroying america.

    Moment of silence. Not being silent.
