In the private residence he should have whatever he pleases.

In the public part of the White House there should be NOTHING.

He'll have neither. As a Muslim, he'll be celebrating Eid al-Adha, during which he'll reflect on his hatred for infidels and whites and formulate his plan to restore the Caliphate and implement Sharia in the United States.

NOTHING! In caps. WHY? Why is the free expression of religion in the public sphere such anethema to you?


America is far and away neither menaced by a state religion, nor in danger of having the general rights and liberties of the citizens unduly restrained by religion. The expression of cultural beliefs of Americans in the public sphere is called FREEDOM. Your "NOTHING" squarely implies that religion, which provided inumerable social mores against vice and injustice throughout human history, is suspect.


If this disgusting travesty can be protected in the public sphere

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/(*)(*)(*)(*)_Christ

or this

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Vagina_Monologues

(Pro-sex feminist Betty Dodson, author of several books about female sexuality, saw the play as having a negative and restrictive view of sexuality and an anti-male bias. She called the play a blast of hatred at men and heterosexuality. Individualist feminist Wendy McElroy shared many of Dodson's views.)

SO CAN RELIGION BE PROTECTED AND CHERISHED IN THE PUBLIC SPHERE.


Each of these "Artistic expressions" were widely funded by the National Endowment for the Arts.

I have a degree in Art, by the way-the Christian Church's role in promoting the Arts and Architecture throughout Western Civilizations history can fill volumes.

And unlike ural of urine filled with someone elses cherished symbols as in "(*)(*)(*)(*) Christ", we produced this:

http://neatorama.cachefly.net/images...e-interior.jpg

and this:

http://www.needlework-tips-and-techn...inci-angel.jpg

But Christianity is not the only faith to produce great art and architecture.

The Muslims produced this:

http://photos.igougo.com/images/p107...a-Alhambra.jpg

and even a cursory survey of world art would include untold treasures and beauty created by the various religions of the world.


Please, let's cut the baloney and anti-religous bias from the left.

A christmas tree for christmas. He can have muslim decorations during Rahamdam and Jewish ones during Hanaka. Why would he have a "holiday tree" when it's only christmas.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Americans only start saying "happy holidays" becuase it includes Thanks Giving and Halloween?

No, I do not think so. Situations like this end up being political. The presidency should never be confused with any religious beliefs, ever. Bush should be fined for say God Bless this and God Bless that. He was taking an extremist view of the Presidency and Obama should normalize this.
