You know, maybe we should just have separate walls; Christians hang their crap here, Muslims here, Jews here, etc. It worked when there were separate drinking fountains for blacks and whites, right?  :snark: 

I hate to break this to you, but this country has citizens with all different kinds of religious affiliations. Why, then, is only YOURS acceptable to be hung in a PUBLIC space?

Actually I was saying there's no need for it.  And if you are going to do it you'd have to do it for all religions...but that TEACHING ABOUT religions without trying to convert is OK in the history class setting.

Obviously.

Just because the ones you hear are the weak ones, doesn't mean they represent their religion. Unless you think otherwise, like all Muslims are terrorists, for example.

Could it be that when someone complains they are in the minority and don't represent the majority either? Or does that only work for your side?
