How often do we hear from the likes of the ACLU that no quarter can be given or even the slightest hint of accommodation handed to those who wish to practice religion in a public venue? Even more so, the likes of the ACLU has challenged in court time and again that no public facility or monies should benefit any particular religious organization. Of course, in all the cases that I’ve heard of, the defendants have always been Christian. And of all the accommodations and “public use” I’ve seen, again Christian-leaning organizations are the ACLU’s victims of choice.

One could be lulled into a sense of some kind of consistency regarding the ACLU’s single-minded attacks on Christians when you consider that the organization was founded by prominent socialists and has since then mostly limited itself to defending socialist-friendly positions. Sure they’re raging leftists, but at least they’re consistent raging leftists.

You always wonder if they’ll be consistent when it comes to non-Christian religions, though. Well, I imagine Judaism would probably gain their ire, but the one religion that seems to elicit not even a whimper from the ACLU-types of the Left is Islam. This could be because a large segment of radical Islam has adopted the two great evil philosophies of the 20^th Century (Nazism and Marxism) as their vehicles to bring Islam back to prominence as a political force and the ACLU, being a not-so-closeted Leftist organization, won’t attack its own. It’s just as likely and perhaps related that the ACLU recognizes that despite its and the Left’s best efforts the United States remains a Christian nation.

As a cog in the wheel of the Marxist engine, the ACLU has labored hard to mimic its European brethren and suppress exposure to and proselytization of the Christian faith in the United States . All the while, it protests that it would do this to any religion that sought to violate the sacrosanct (and quite phony) “separation of Church and State” we hear so much about.

With the dual incidents of foot baths being installed at Kansas City International Airport and at the University of Michigan at Dearborn, though, we have heard nary a peep from our enlightened socialist secular friends at the ACLU. In fact, there seems to be a collective sigh of “what’s the big deal” from the Left. Obviously, the Right in this country is simply making mountains out of mole hills, no?

No. The arguments used by the public institutions in question have been wholly religious in nature. KCI stated that Muslim cabbies (which Kansas City has quite a population of) were demanding such accommodations and KCI apparently saw no harm in helping them out. In the case of the University of Michigan at Dearborn , a town with so many radical Islamists that you’d think you were in Gaza , the Muslims attending school there were ripping the sinks apart and leaving messy, dirty water puddles all in college bathrooms. In this case, the University found it easier to acquiesce to the vandals than punish them, but again we’re dealing with a religious accommodation.

Where are the “Separation of Church & State’ers” in all this? Where are they when there is a madrassah cleverly disguised as an “ Arabic School ” is opened in New York with public funds? Although this one is being more vehemently defended by the Left as a secular institution, I still don’t see the point in teaching kids anything other than American culture and history in public schools. If they want to learn about Arabic culture, the last I checked we do have libraries and a host of universities that will teach them about it. And, of course, they can also travel to Ground Zero for a field trip…

You can’t have it both ways. For a discipline that daily in the media rails against the “hypocrisy of the Right” when a Senator gets caught literally with his pants down, they certainly do like to shovel out quite a bit of the real deal themselves when it comes to Islamic religious institutions and that pesky “separation of Church & State”. It should be more clearly defined as an attempt at separation of Christianity and State, which is what the secular Left has actually labored for and what the radicals in the Islamic community have become the cause celebre of modern Marxism. The ancient principle (Arabic or Chinese) of “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” fits these two groups quite well.

If these seemingly minor inroads are allowed to stand while Christianity is assailed by those same forces, then there will be more. Either we will proceed down the path of the dhimmi or we will proceed down the path of secular humanists. We will have a new religion one way or another if we don’t defend the one that made this country as great as it is. We will be the ones to pay if we turn away from the Almighty or allow our eyes to be shielded from Him and his Son. Not just our freedoms, but our souls will suffer in the long run. I can think of no greater punishment for failing to stand up to the abomination that is the far Left.
