A question for Conservatives.
If a Valedictorian in a south carolina school decided to rip up their speech and instead read the islamic Call to Prayer, would you have an issue with that? If so, what would the reason for your taking issue with it?
Funny that few or none are addressing the question put forth by the OP. Maybe it was the poll itself that confused participants.
I already addressed it.
Post #23.
I notice, however, that you have not addressed the OP anywhere previously in the thread and this post certainly does not address it.
So... you figured you'd just jump in to moan about folks not addressing the OP, even though some of us have, while doing the same thing (not addressing the OP) that you're here to bitch about?
How about you stop running around trying to play junior assistant moderator and only ending up putting your foot in your mouth?
Either that or sit quietly in the corner and drink a nice hot mug of STFU?
Thanks, and you have the best day ever.
Spoken like a true Junior Assistant Moderator.
As long as the speaker was known to be a peaceful person I would have no issue with him reciting a prayer from his practicing religion. Doesn't mean I have to recite the prayer with him or believe in it. He is up there because of his accomplishments, and if that is how he feels his time is best spent then so be it. I would expect all religions to be given the same treatment though. There is room for them all in this country. If an atheist would like to speak about why they don't believe in god then it's there time let them go ahead.
So if an atheist valedictorian talked about his non belief and how god doesn't exist, do you think he would be called a hero and invited on Fox news?
Highly unlikely since the story doesn't fit their agenda. Same as a Christian Valedictorian likely won't get invited to MSNBC for doing the same thing. I don't believe either one should be considered a hero for simply practicing their religion.

Do you think what he did was "practicing his religion"?

He's just pointing out the hypocrisy.
But it has nothing to do with the topic.
It does, however, have everything to do with reality. The fact is, this isn't a free speech issue, it's yet another case for the right wing (which switches off with the left wing on alternate weeks) to do something absurdly hypocritical and make themselves look stupid.
Hmm, not sure that is what is going on at all here.
You don't think this is becoming a rallying point for those of a particular religious and political bent? It happens every couple of years, some situation like this, and all of the radical right wing nutcases hold hands and sing kumbayah around it before it fades away. The left-wing loonies do the same thing with their own similar situations.
Yeah, not what is going on here at all. We are talking about the Constitutional rights of Americans.
David, you must have missed my response ^^^ earlier today and a similar post to a similar statement you made regarding the same issue on another thread.
What do you mean? Be specific and please give comparative examples regarding other religions. If you are tired of it, it must happen a lot. Other religions must be getting a great deal more favoritism by something or somebody and it must be happening quite a bit. Who and how and how often?
We are told we can't pray, we are told we can't preach, we are told people shouldn't have to hear us. None of that is in the Constitution.
You haven't been put on any lion's brunch menu, which is all the "freedom " you deserve................................
Glad you can be mature about this....
I'm just reminding you were Christians have come from. Something they seem to have forgotten.................Convienently...................
