Assuming for the sake of argument that President Obama was in fact a Muslim -- one hell of a big fucking assumption -- how the fuck is that a "grievance?" A Muslim, a Jew, a Buddhist, an agnostic or an athiest has every bit as much right to be President of the United States as does a Muslim.First of all, I didn't say he was a muslim. I said people have right to ask the question without you libs jumping into their shit. For the sake of argument if he was a muslim why lie about it and IF he is lying about it, that shows a character flaw, IMHO.
Or have all you right wingers cut out this little section in your copy of the Constitution: . . . but no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States"? Originally Posted by TexTushHog

it is a science
a relatively small sample size will reveal attributes of a population to a confidence level of 95% or more
really what that means is 95% of the time the sample will include the true mean of the population Originally Posted by nevergaveitathought

But I have no problem with houses of religion of any stripe building on private property. If, however, by "public place," you mean government property, then yes, I'd have a problem with any house of religion of any sort being built there.
You have some nerve quoting the "no religious test" clause when you would deny a christian church to built in public place and then say a muslim has a right to build a mosque or allow a christian to pray in a public area, but it's ok for a muslim to do the same. You cannot argue against one and for another. It shows your bias and your liberal ideology offends me. Hypocrit much?
I've taken the time to read about sharia law and it is a system of government through the edicts of the Koran. Where is the seperation of church and state? I dare you to argue the truth. Originally Posted by DFW5Traveler

Or maybe you can look at yourself in the mirror and say with a clear voice, "I am a hypocrit and I don't like other peoples opinions even if they are factually supported."
Under the First Amendment, the government can't discriminate against religion or favor religion. Likewise, it cannot favor one religion over another, nor can it advantage the religious to the disadvantage of the irreligious.
As for praying in a public area, again, I think it depends on the public area and the circumstances. But under no circumstances can the government prohibit practitioners of one religion praying where they allow practitioners of others to pray.
And nothing you said at all addresses my initial post of what it would be about a Muslim being President that would constitute a "grievance" within the meaning of the First Amendment. You entirely ducked that issue. Originally Posted by TexTushHog
