Almost as bad as complaining about the atrocities of Saddam Hussein's chemical weapons after the Iran Contra scandal in which we, the US under Ronald Reagan & Bush Sr., were proven to have given chemical weapons to Saddam in order to fight Iran.
12 years later, Bush Jr's sobbing on national TV about how Saddam tried to kill his daddy. Uh... hello? Your daddy gave him the guns, ammo, chemical and biological weapons in the first place!
Meanwhile, the US under Bush Jr. is trying to give 20 BILLION dollars of weapons to various violent muslim sects to "keep the peace" for us. EXACTLY what we did with Saddam before he turned against us!

Whats wrong with prayer in school? Or is it just when people pray to the Judeo-Christian God you have a problem with. If it helps a child focus their minds on their studies, let them pray away...
If the government can monetarily support things that are "anti-faith" (abortion factories, the "arts," etc...) then what is the problem with balancing that out with some money for "faith-based initiatives" which harm no one?

Why would it be hypocritical? No one I know is asking to take over the government. But if you're not going to include federal funding for "faith based initiatives" let's take out funding for other things that are "anti-faith based."

or how about to have rooms set aside for prayers, one for boys , one for girls, or to build a whole school with tax payers money for a religious sect and call it diversity, multiculturalism when it is for one religion only. Good question. If we allow one then all should have their place in our public schools and where then is your out rage when one is left out or two or three or all?

Extremely.
See, I guess the thought is that theocracy in Iran doesn't work because they're wicked Muslims but here it'll work, since we'll be a Christian theocracy, or something.

I'd say it's hypocritical if they were asking for public stonings, beheadings, and prison for those who disagree with them.

I believe we could consider that rather hypocritical.

They have no problems with double standards. They don't like us judging them on here, but they feel free to condemn us to hell because we disagree with them.
