If you're willing to make accommodations for a Christian, then make sure to provide them for a Muslim, a Scientologist, etc. The First Amendment is not just for Christians.
Yeah. Well, see that's the thing. they are making exceptions for the Muslims while not making them for the Christians. Therein lies the problem. Christians have been told how evil religion is at school, then the schools allow them to leave classrooms during the school day to and give them rooms to pray in.

Also, realize Muslims have been in America since the colonial era. Thomas Jefferson kept a copy of the Qu'ran in his library.
You do realize that having a copy of Koran does not make you a Muslim any more than having a copy of the Bible makes you a Christian, right?
So, you are one to take quotes from individuals and set those quotes up as things we must live and die by?
Fine. Consider these, then.
George Washington
1st U.S. President
"While we are zealously performing the duties of good citizens and soldiers, we certainly ought not to be inattentive to the higher duties of religion. To the distinguished character of Patriot, it should be our highest glory to add the more distinguished character of Christian."
Oh. And by the way...this is a quote by that same John Adams you want to convince us was against Christianity.
"The general principles, on which the Fathers achieved independence, were the only Principles in which that beautiful Assembly of young Gentlemen could Unite, and these Principles only could be intended by them in their address, or by me in my answer. And what were these general Principles? I answer, the general Principles of Christianity, in which all these Sects were United: And the general Principles of English and American Liberty, in which all those young Men United, and which had United all Parties in America, in Majorities sufficient to assert and maintain her Independence.
I can go on and on with quotes from Founding Fathers that say they supported Christianity just like you can find some that say they do not, so don't come on here trying to prove your point with quotes from some people. I will show you as many (Some from the same people you quote) that contradict your position.

Yeah. Well, see that's the thing. they are making exceptions for the Muslims while not making them for the Christians.
