"A major American Muslim group on Wednesday demanded an apology from the Rev. Jerry Falwell for statements he made on Beliefnet suggesting Muslims be excluded from federal faith-based initiative money because, Falwell said, the religion is “bigoted.”

The way I see it, anybody who lives in this country and supports the basic American ideals should be treated the same as everybody else. As George W. Bush said, any government (community, church, whatever) built on oppression is built on sand.

I think there may be a few Muslims in Juneau, but they are very quiet. Russian Orthodox is big, especially among natives. Christian, Jewish, Sikh, and few others. Religious freedom does not seem to be an issue here, as everybody has it and we are a very diverse city.
