MORE FIGHTS OVER RELIGIOUS TURF

There is discord over the Democrats language in the current policy statement. Convention leaders were forced to call voice vote three times to declare the city to be Israel's capital in party platform. It was a case of 'if at first you don't succeed, keep trying until you do regardless of the issues being brought up,

Also restored was wording mentioning God: Democrats changed the platform language to say government should help people "make the most of their God-given potential". When is the Constitution going to be followed and separate church from state.  If I have potential, I would say it came from my genes and no one can prove God had anything to do with that.

BEFORE
A US military judge has ordered the 2009 Fort Hood shooting suspect, Army Major Nidal Hasan, to shave off his beard or be "forcibly shaved."

He apparently grew the bad after he went to prison  The custom of wearing hair on one's fact must have started when men were too lazy to shave it off with the primitive methods available at the time.



AFTER
                                                                         If religion is truly a matter of what one holds inside as 'faith' how can this be justified that our rules should be broken to accommodate a whim which should not actually change one's faith.  Mujslim ladies have asked to have their driver's license picture  with a burka (BURKINA) on.  A wise judge forbid that one  It doesn't make sense when the purpose of a picture is for identification to have you face covered and indistinguishable.There are some things, even in religions, that must adapt to US requirements.
