I've argued they both deserve the same accommodation, no more or less. I've stated this numerous times. So stop trying to misrepresent what I said.
As long as anybody else can leave class to pray then there isn't an issue. Of course, a Christian can pray without a single person knowing.
But this is the whole point of what we are talking about. This is the statement you made earlier in the thread. My point is that the schools are NOT giving equal treatment.
You wanted to argue that Christians should not be allowed to pray because there were 90 of them and that would be considered school sponsored. (How in the world you came up with that, I can't imagine)
YOUR point was that 10 Muslims should be allowed to pray in school, but 90 Christians should not.
Now. Did I misrepresent your posts? I can go back and cut and paste if you would like.
When it became a large event, then it became more of a school sponsored event.
No. It did not. In fact, the school tried to stop it until they were brought to court.
Look. My whole point was that the Muslims were given a Prayer room and allowed to leave class for their prayers in school during school hours. I can guarantee you, that if a Christian tried to do this the ACLU and the Freedom From Religion people would shut that down and it would never be allowed. The Muslims are insisting that it be done in NYC, one of the most visible places in the entire world and what do we hear from those organization? Crickets.
So tell me...is it school sponsored if the school provides facilities and time for the students to pray?
If not, do you think there would be an uproar if Christians demanded prayer rooms and to be allowed out of class to pray?
