WHO CARES? Wow How can you tell justice is "fair"? You can't, and it never really is. Personal prejudices always enter into it- but you certainly don't need to hammer in the fact that they do with symbols that favor one group over another in a court of law. I think Muslims might be quite upset to have their cases heard in courts that had all-Hindu symbolism. I think they might feel very discriminated. Even if judgment was "fair" if you could measure that sort of thing- do you think the Muslims would feel it was fair?

"I do not buy it, though. If I moved to India, I would not object to the Gita being symbolized in one of its courts." The primary reason that most of us would prefer to land in an American court than say an: Indian, Saudi, Israeli, Palestinian, Pakistani etc. court, is that we are convinced the symbols of justice here are less biased toward cultural or sub-cultural membership. We might end up getting a fair deal in one of those courts vs getting screwed in one of our own but; we at least want the perception going in that there are no leanings.
