What always concerns me is that I always see people on various message boards mocking Christianity - I do it myself - but not saying word one about Islam! When it's the Muslims who go around rioting if some cartoonist draws a picture of Mohammed! When it's Muslims who make their women wear burkhas, and who stone or kill them should they dare to "dishonor" the male members of the family. There's lots to laugh about in the Islamic religion too...but people don't do it, perhaps because Christians won't kill them for it but Muslims will.
The Judiciary's Culturally Sanctioned Allergy to Christianity Flourishes
Does anyone find it ironic that the very people who protest so loudly over supposed affronts to Islamic religious expression are often so hostile to the slightest Christian religious expressions -- even incidental expressions?
The left is going bonkers over opposition to the ground zero mosque in the name of religious freedom, but the left's assault on Christian liberties proceeds unabated. One very recent example is the ruling by a three-judge panel of the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that memorial crosses erected and displayed along Utah public roads to honor fallen state highway troopers must be removed as unconstitutional.
In case you are wondering how highway crosses could remotely be considered to have violated any constitutional provision, the court tells us: "We hold that these memorials have the impermissible effect of conveying to the reasonable observer the message that the state prefers or otherwise endorses a certain religion."
So here we go again. Our politically correct-intoxicated culture is so allergic to expressions and symbols of Christianity that our courts leap to absurd conclusions to cordon off the chief allergen: Christianity.
To fully appreciate the outrageousness of the court's decision, you must understand that the memorial crosses were placed along Utah public roads by a private -- not public -- organization, the Utah Highway Patrol Association, which also maintains the crosses.
