SNIPPET: "Mat Staver of Liberty Counsel disagrees with the ACLU'S stance.
"The lawsuit, however, in this particular case says that they are allowed to pray as a group only just one hour a week. The fact is that there is no constitutional right to assembly as a group five times a day, whether it's in the workplace or in the prison," he notes.
Staver points out that Liberty Counsel completely supports religious liberty, regardless of a person's faith group. "But I think in the situation with regards to the Muslims, there is clearly a security issue at risk here when you are requesting the prisons to accommodate five daily group meetings to have prayer," he contends.
The Liberty Counsel attorney believes if a similar request had come from Christians, the ACLU would not have even considered handling the case."

Interesting that they support pray 5 times a day for those that have shown a disregard for laws but stand firmly apposed to any show of faith by those that haven’t(Christian prayer in any public venue).
Face east, put yer head in the toilet, and squall all you want...
Are we not told constantly as Christians that seperation of Church and State requires no public (government building/grounds) displays of the 10 Commandments,no manger scenes, no kids gather at the flagpole to pray before school and on and on. Yet it is okay for muslims to be allowed to gather in a grouip5timesa day to pray in a Government facility? Where is their vaunted speration of Church and State now?
Pretty soon the world won’t have us Christians to kick around anymore.
