This isn't the issue - its Salami that is the issue.

I think I will make a point of stopping at his office at A&T and seeing HIS religious stuff in HIS office on Government property.

That is, if he still has an office, as many times as he has been fired and sued the University for his loose cannon behaviour.

Of course, its WRONG to challenge Islamic prayer at work, but OH SO RIGHT to question Christian motifs.

Make no mistake - Salami brought this up not for any 'decency' but because of his own wrong doing.

I have a son about to start driving, and drunk drivers scare me. Salami is caught with an open container, drinking and driving, and this is classic deflection defense.

Salami is full of baloney.

Also;

Why is it that Christians are expected to honor everyone's diversity but their own?

"I think I will make a point of stopping at his office at A&T and seeing HIS religious stuff in HIS office on Government property."
Ok. I'll wait. What did you find?
I was in a bank the other day, and in one of the officer's office was a large painting of a cross. Asside from being tacky, and "in your face" I had no problem it being in a private institution. If I had walked into a poice station or city hall and seen it, however, I would have had a problem.

"Of course, its WRONG to challenge Islamic prayer at work, but OH SO RIGHT to question Christian motifs"
Apples and oranges, Bill, pray all you want to, go ahead, no one minds. But if a Christain display is disallowed/inappropriate, Im sure an islamic one would be, too.

"..Salami brought this up not for any 'decency' but because of his own wrong doing."
Im sure it'll be a non-issue in his open-container violation. No court would consider it.

"Why is it that Christians are expected to honor everyone's diversity but their own?"
???? Most Christians I know tolerate their own faith quite well.

Say,I just attended a session on the campus of NCAT and was asked if I would send my child to this University.Not if they continue to have professors that do not have any ethics.The way some of them dress to let you know what nationality they belong to,can I say it offends me.They are on government property.They state openly their beliefs about a woman's place in society.Like Sherif B.J. Barnes stated(and I paraphrase)Get a life Salami.Peace

sorry didn't quite answer the question the first time around.To me it is appropiate to display religious pictures and icons on public property.That's my final answer.

What part of this alleged "separation" was violated?

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..."

Maybe it's the first part. Did Congress really pass a law requiring this officer to display a religious slogan in his car?

Or maybe it's the second part. After all, we wouldn't want to prohibit anyone from freely exercising their religion, would we? Oh wait, that's exactly what the supposed First Amendment proponents are trying to do...

This is so stupid! I don't feel the officer should apologize...for what, doing his job by preventing an obviously drinking drunk driver from killing someone? He had to be intoxicated to be drinking in a car in the first place! Salami got caught drinking and driving and couldn't talk his way out...so..he plays the religion card....simple.

If Salami doesn't believe in the Christian way of life and our right to express our beliefs, he can go back to the country he came from. I'm tired of not being able to talk or express my belief in Jesus (the one who gave his life for me on the Cross of Calvary) and arose the 3rd day. I can't wait to see Him. He's given me such joy and peace in my heart. Sorry that Salami doesn't know my Savior.

As far as I'm concerned, we place too much importance on making sure we do not offend other religous beliefs here in America and do not stand up for our own Christian beliefs. This country was built on Christianity and it should still be that way now. Our government should return back to the way our country was founded. I have no problem with people having beliefs and religions other than Christianity but they should not put Christians down for standing up for what they believe. I think that office Osborne did what he should have done and I appalude him for standing up for his beliefs.
