How would you feel?

A question to my Christian friends. How would you feel ...

If lawmakers wanted to use your tax dollars to support private Muslim schools to teach children Islamic beliefs?

If police cars and courthouses had the words "Allah be Praised" on them?

If your son or granddaughter was forced to recite Islamic prayers to be on a public school sports team?

If presidential candidates said the U.S. Constitution might be ignored in favor of Islamic teachings?

An appalling thought?

The thing is, those of us who don't believe in your deity or your dogma are living with this every single day of our lives.

Not with Islam. With Christianity.
