US Govt can't do it; why can Saudis?
Reader comment on item: Hearing on "Should the United States Do More to Help U.S. Citizens Held against Their Will in Saudi Arabia?"
Submitted by J renders (United States), Jun 13, 2002 at 02:53
It is unconstitutional for the US government to give state support to a particular religion. Yet, the Saudi government directly supports establishment of Islam in the US.If we don't permit our own government to do this, why do we tolerate a foreign government doing so? Where are the "Americans United for Separation of Church & State" on this issue?
