ACLU gets religion

The American Civil Liberties Union has finally discovered a religion that they will defend!

After years of protesting and filing lawsuits against institutions and local governments to "protect" the public from paying for, looking at, or having any participation in or with anything Christian, they have now determined that it is ok for a public institution, in this case the University of Michigan-Dearborn, to spend 25,000 in public dollars to build, are you ready? Two Islamic footbaths. Apparently, Muslims are required to wash body parts, including feet, up to five times daily before prayers and are presently using public bathroom sinks to clean their feet.

The University of Michigan-Dearborn has decided that the mess on the floor in the bathrooms is reason enough to build the special footbaths. Kary Moss, director of the Detroit branch of the ACLU, said its review concluded the plan is a "reasonable accommodation" to resolve "safety and cleanliness issues" that arose when Muslims used public sinks for foot cleaning before prayers, which often spilled water on bathroom floors.

The American Civil Liberties Union has said the plan doesn't pose constitutional problems, which should please CAIR, (which is named as an unindicted co-conspiritor to support and fund the Hamas terror organization) because now they will not have to divert their own money from terrorist support, but will have American taxpayers pay for the footbaths instead.

I could be ok with this IF they would allow crosses, Christmas trees, a Minorah and maybe even a Nativity scene to be built right in front of or beside the Islamic footbaths.

How about a confessional? I'm sure a few priests would LOVE to be available for flying parishioners. Can you see the government paying a priest to be available for flying Catholics? If they're going to install stuff for Muslims, they also need to install stuff for every other religion.

What about the Satanists? I wonder wha...oh yeah. They have Al Qaeda.
