Protesters around the Western world to raise their voices against the discrimination and the violation of the international human rights laws (1967 Protocol Relating to the Status of Refugees and post-World War II Refugee Convention of 1952)
This study from the Pew Research Center shows an astounding number of people in the American public admitting to being a witness to discrimination against Muslims. This shows the awareness of discrimination in the United states of America despite what some may think of what the dominant views are.
Cecilia Attias calls out the inaction of the global leaders to prevent the horrific massacres occurring in hostile Islamic states. In the name of protecting innocent life, this genocidal persecution must be stopped before ISIS has accomplished it's publicized goal to kill all Christians.
After months of deliberation, Russia and the United States have put aside their differences to accomplish a common goal; saving Syria.

Prayer has been a topic of some controversy with the public school systems in America for over 50 years, it has been federally banned other than silent prayers, and in some states it has been banned all together. This is a disgusting violation of Americans first amendment right, as well as our inalienable rights as human of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, for some prayer is a pursuit of happiness. To ban ones ability to pray in school, while they are being taught as if God were not real, is a outrageous violation of the rights of not just Christians, but Islamic folk, and people of Jewish decent. Prayer offers peace, and a hope for salvation, and a denial of such ability in a place where most students attend is an outrageous violation of our rights as humans, and as Americans.
A constitutional right of all citizens is the freedom of religion, and praying in schools is a way of exercising that right. If praying is banned in public education, then the constitutional right to practice religion is being infringed upon.
While religious freedoms are very important in our country we need to look at what the purpose of school is. In my opinion, schools are not morally obligated but factually obligated. This article states that you must look at the religious aspect to understand history which I completely agree. I do not remember my classes removing religious aspects from the curriculum. Is this prevalent nowadays?
I am on the fence with this topic. I think that all Americans should have the right to pray in school but on the other hand I feel that it may be disrespectful to the third party. This is a tough topic for all people weather they are religious or not.
America is the land of opportunity and freedom. We have the freedom to follow any religion. I think that banning prayer in schools is something that takes away from that right. If it's pray is part of the religion, why is it frowned upon and seen as disrespectful? Our country should respect and go for what it stands for.
