The ACLU has bent over backwards to justify spending $25,000 worth of public funds on footbaths for Muslims at the University of Michigan in Dearborn. I love how the ACLU can spin the shit out of this stuff with a straight face:

Kary Moss, director of the Detroit branch of the ACLU, said its review concluded the plan is a “reasonable accommodation” to resolve “safety and cleanliness issues” that arose when Muslims used public sinks for foot cleaning before prayers, which often spilled water on bathroom floors.

“We view it as an attempt to deal with a problem, not an attempt to make it easier for Muslims to pray,” said Moss, who likened the plan to paying for added police during religious events with huge turnouts.

Wow… That’s deep. It really is astonishing how the ACLU can turn the religious outrage switch on and off so easily. I can’t imagine having the same common-sense type attitude about public funding being spent on anything for Christians. The example of “added police” is bullshit. Police function as crowd control officers in many cases. Controlling any crowd for any function is not relevant in this case.

Now on to Barrack Obama. Senator Obama seems to think that Christianity has been hijacked. That’s right. Christianity has been hijacked by bomb-wearing murderous suicidal thugs in pursuit of 72 virgins. Okay, not exactly, but imagine what would’ve happened if, say, Hillary Clinton, had said Islam was hijacked by radicals hell-bent on the annihilation of everyone that they perceive as a kafir? Anyway, here’s what Barry O had to say about Christianity and it being hijacked…

“Somehow, somewhere along the way, faith stopped being used to bring us together and faith started being used to drive us apart,” the Democratic presidential candidate said in a 30-minute speech before the national meeting of the United Church of Christ.

“Faith got hijacked, partly because of the so-called leaders of the Christian Right, all too eager to exploit what divides us,” the Illinois senator said.

“At every opportunity, they’ve told evangelical Christians that Democrats disrespect their values and dislike their church, while suggesting to the rest of the country that religious Americans care only about issues like abortion and gay marriage, school prayer and intelligent design,” according to an advance copy of his speech.

Now, I’ve seen this said numerous times about Islam and every time someone says it, they’re immediately rebuked as if they’re uninformed heathens, silenced, and told to get educated about the faith. Why isn’t there an outcry from those same people now that Saint Barrack of Obama is now saying something astonishingly similar?

Oh right… It’s Christianity he’s saying it about, and you can say whatever you want about Christianity in this country. In fact, it’s quite in vogue. Bashing Islam makes you an uninformed and poorly educated bigot while bashing Christianity makes you an educated free thinking smart and informed person.

Hell, it even qualifies you to run for the Presidency.
