re: I have never seen a Muslim in America do a midday prayer in public until today. Thoughts?

About a year ago, leaving New Orleans to fly back to Tampa, has a Muslim start praying before we took off.
My a-hole was clinched the entire time. Was side eying him the whole flight.

Today, I noticed a guy get out his import SUV and set up and start standing facing east with a mat. I knew what he was fixing to do. I have been over seas but in Muslim countries and seen the calls to prayer.
Man I'm in the beating red heart of conservative rural Oklahoma and I've seen it. I've seen them pull over on the side of the road and pray to the East on several occasions. It's mostly longhaul drivers.

They worship the same god that you do. They also respect Jesus way more than the Jews do.

Ha! Unless they’re on fire!

Show me "separation of church and state" in the Constitution.
And show me where the founders intended our nation to not be a foundationally Christian nation.
The below helps cover the Christian foundation this nation was intended on, and fought for.
Show me where I said anything about "separation of church and state". You won't be able to, because I didn't.
Once again, show me in the Constitution where God, Jesus or Christianity are referenced. Something else you won't be able to do.
Show me in the Declaration of Independence where there is any reference to Jesus or Christianity. You won't be able to. There is one mention of "Nature's God" and one mention of a "Creator".
All of the Abrahamic religions - Judaism, Christianity and Islam - believe in a "Creator".
There is nothing in either of those two documents that references Christianity specifically.
"Nature's God" sounds almost Wiccan. The Wiccan's have a better case to make than Christians.
The bottom line is that the First Amendment, which is codified law, prohibits Congress from prohibiting the free exercise of any religion, including Islam.

So confirming Islam is a cult. Got it.
I never said it wasn't. You really like to extrapolate and project things that weren't said.
You will get no argument from me on that point. All religions are cults.

I don't worship imaginary creatures based on 2,000 year old farmer's imaginations.
They worship a rapist. As far as religions go, they are at the bottom.

They do, because it is all made up nonsense. The "god" of Abraham in literature is the same god that all Jews, Christians, Muslims and Mormons worship. The scriptures that each one of those religions hold as being sacred all point to the same "god".
Sorry to be the one to burst your bubble.

Neither do I. We have that in common.

They don't "worship" Mohammed. They hold him in high regard.
They "worship" the same literary god that Jews, Christians and Mormons worship.
Mohammed may well have been a rapist. I have no idea and I don't really care. Anyone that believes his prophesies is a fool. Anyone who believes the words of any prophet is a fool.

How about Minnesota with protesters in churches and outside protesting. Makes no sense but they are liberal activists idiots

In my opinion, yes, as long as that business is in no way financially dependent upon any government entity.
However, all legitimate businesses are financially dependent on multiple government entities (tax law). That is how they get you. If you want to operate a legitimate business within the United States, then you're probably not going to be able to ban Muslim employees or customers from praying on your premises.

Ummm, maybe you should read the entire sentence where Jefferson specifically links text from the First Amendment directly to "separation of church and state".
Here it is:
quote:
Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between man and his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legislative powers of government reach actions only, and not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature would "make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," thus building a wall of separation between Church and State.
