...What would the reaction of demonrats and the press have been if a Baptist preacher asked "God and Jesus to bless this assembly?"

I have to admit I don't understand this logic. Of course they'd probably sneer and make nasty comments. And they'd be in the wrong.

Why would they be wrong? Because they have no business sneering at religious expression so long as all religions are treated equally.

And this is the same argument I am making to those who claim the Muslim cleric should not have been able to do this.

Does that include Satanism, or are certain religions exempt because they seek to destroy the foundations of this Republic?

And reserve the smarmy retort - just answer the question.
