Why is asking people to pray at lunchtime, ON THEIR OWN TIME, at home, any sort of violation?

Because the issue is never the issue. The issue is always the revolution.

I suspect, however, that if the General had suggested that people performed Dhuhr, the midday prayer required in the Quran, during lunch time in their own homes, that the Religious Freedom Foundation would never have responded.

Preach! This cannot be driven home often enough.

We are distracted by the "issue" only to miss the larger agenda. Not that the issue used should be ignored.
