Original Post:
“What do you mean by the Muslims are ‘taking over?’ Are they trying to put their Commandments on classroom walls? Putting ‘In Allah we trust’ on our currency? Spending billions on a ‘Mohammed Gets Us’ ad blitz? Posting prayers to Mecca on government-funded social media accounts? Holding massive political rallies with religious overtones? What, exactly, are they ‘taking over’?”

My Thoughts
The strength of this post is not that it provides data. The strength is that it asks readers to examine assumptions.
America has long wrestled with questions about religion in public life. If we are concerned about one faith having influence over government, we should apply the same standard to every faith. Equal treatment and religious freedom work best when the rules are applied consistently.
The question is not whether one religion should dominate public life. The question is whether all Americans are treated fairly regardless of their beliefs.
