We need your vote - for CityTV poll--- (Urgently!!!!)

Tue Sep 20 03:17:54 UTC 2011

you'd think ANY believers of a universal God would be thrilled to have kids
praying five times a day...instead of once at the flag pole
that is....assuming they still do that? (or was that simply a publicity
stunt?)
but of course Islamaphobia is rotten ripe in USA and popular way to sell *scare
books*!   and of course... it is close to Halloween.

but I'm still having a hard time picturing kids being handcuffed and thrown
in detention for saying "Merry Christmas"
