Have you felt helpful around the office, actively contributing to the team, seeing your work pay off in a final product? Have you worked independently, without a supervisor breathing down the back of your neck at all times? Have you felt like you could have a shot at a job once your internship ended? I certainly have.

Who could argue with that? Well, when the believers happen to be Muslims, and there could be as many as 50,000 of them kneeling to pray in Arabic, yes, you could see how there might be some blowback from the usual suspects. Indeed, the online publication from David Horowitz, FrontPageMag.com, sounded the alarm in an article Monday titled "Taking Islamism to the Streets," and the title of ...
