If I were to travel to a civilized Muslim country or a Buddhist country and found myself in a setting where public prayer was occurring, I think I would keep a respectful silence. I might even try and learn something. Yes, of course. Been there, done that. But Oklahoma isn't a foreign country. Muslim Americans and Buddhist Americans should be able to feel at home there, not like silent and respectful outsiders. [I just got back from the supermarket. I'd say that nearly ten percent of the women there had their heads covered in the Muslim fashion, including several checkers. Oklahoma's not that far away.] The effort to eradicate public prayer in this country strikes me as little more than cultural cleansing. It's not PUBLIC prayer that is at issue. It's state supported prayer. There's a difference. No one wants to stop funeral processions in the French Quarter of New Orleans. But it does. There is a tall statue of Jesus on the quad at Notre Dame. Oh, how could I have overlooked that patently obvious proof of the tie-in between football and prayer. <ggg> Karen
