Imagine the outrage if this were a Muslim choir being forced to sing about Christ being Lord and Savior of all!

Wow. Just think about all the screams of Separation of Church and State if this choir were singing Christian songs.

COH

True, drummer. Many only apply the separation clause when it comes to Christianity while it's not PC to do so to other religions.

I think this young man handled himself quite well. He didn't demand the school or his peers NOT perform the song which tells me he was appreciative of their own rights to do so if they chose. He merely voiced his opinion that it was inappropriate and opted out of this all volunteer choir based on his own personal beliefs. Very mature approach. KUDOS to him!

Apparently Islam is not a religion. Apparently it has no god. Apparently it is just a bunch of folks who get together and sing songs (looks like), tween bombing buildings and blowing up schools and killing innocent civilians in general. You see, were it actually a religion of any kind, liberals would already be boycotting, protesting, calling for resignations, and legislation to be passed. So by liberal standards I assume Islam is a just a fad, that will soon go the way of Fonzie T-shirts.
