Several years ago, the San Francisco schools were caught bringing
imams into the classroom and having the kids recite the Muslim prayer
of conversion to Islam. Yet the two words "under god" in the pledge
of allegiance are supposedly unconstitutional because "we all know
they refer to the Christian god". . . .

Of course, if they'd brought in a Catholic priest to say the Liturgy,
forcing the children to participate no less, the ACLU would have shit
itself and wouldn't have been able to file lawsuits fast enough.

If Islam is favored at the expense of other religions, then that's an
unconstitutional Establishment of religion. If it were being done as a
comparison of religions without favoritism, then it wouldn't have been
unconstitutional.

Comparing religions in the classroom does not require bringing in a holy man
(from only one of the religions being discussed, mind you) and having the
students recite prayers. There's absolutely no legal defense for any of that.

I agree that the public school cannot have students participate in
a religious ceremony of any kind.

Do you know for a fact that ACLU of California was asked, but refused,
to seek an injunction on Islam being favored in public schools? I've
never heard of this type of thing.

The public outcry was enough to have SF schools back off.

I'm glad to hear that they hadn't refused.

It's also interesting to note that under Islam, merely saying the words to the
Shahada, the Muslim prayer of conversion, automatically makes one a Muslim, so
as far as the Muslim community is concerned, all the school kids who recited
that prayer at the behest of their teachers are now Muslims and if they
subsequently rejected Islam by continuing to practice Christianity or Judaism
or any other religion (or no religion at all), they are considered apostates
and can be legally killed under Sharia law. Given the number of radical
Islamists out there that our government has happily imported into America over
the last half-decade, that's no inconsequential concern for the parents of
those children.

I agree with this, too.
