[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem is America does want to support and respect other religions.  The Muslims do not-I recall a news reoprt where they bitched about an easter egg hunt flyer coming home in their kids backpacks-if you don't wnat to go, throw it out.  It seems they only approve of their own religion and therein lies the problem.[/quote]

Just found the news report you're referring to: http://archive.freep.com/article/20140404/NEWS05/304040016/Muslim-parents-upset-over-flier-promoting-Easter-egg-hunt-at-church

First, "several Muslim parents" don't speak for an entire community.

Second, these parents were simply saying that this "egg hunt" in particular is being hosted by a church at a church so it infringes on division of Church and State.  I'm a Muslim and love and egg hunt as much as the next person, but going to a church to participate is different than taking my kids to my husband's work that hosts one.

Third, voicing an opinion is not "bitching."  [/quote]
