  • That case was brought by a Muslim inmate named Gregory Houston Holt who claims his prison violated his religious rights by refusing to let him grow a beard as his faith requires.

      Does prisoners still deserve religious rights?
  • Last term, the Supreme Court ruled that corporations have religious rights when it found some employers didn't have to pay for insurance that covered birth control. This is a different twist on the topic of religious freedom.

      Will the supreme court take the side of the religion when the case is about prisoners too?

    I thought this court case is very interesting in that it deals with religious rights verses safety problems in prison.

    I think the with the case of the beard it could be dangerous to allow inmates to have a long beard because it could endanger people's lives especially since it's a prison. I don't think they should allow inmates to have long beards because inmates who are not religious could easily say that they are Muslims and use that to their advantage.

    This article interests me because it talks about Middle Easterners in America and if you browse around the site you will find an entire page of cases that the article talks about.

    I liked this article, it talks briefly about the Middle Eastern/Muslim situation in America and that definitely relates to civil rights. Discriminating against a certain group of people is not okay, I think this is a good article to read.

    This video is a good example of right wing narrowcasting. It is obvious that this is directed to Fox News viewers. Not all Fox News viewer would agree with the statements made on this video. This is more focused to anti-Islam and anti-Obama supporters. The language used by the newscaster is very specific and persuasive. It is generalizing and directly connecting Islam with terrorism. Here is an example: "Islamic killers are the central problem on this planet." In my opinion these are radical ideas themselves. It shows some evidence and pictures relating Obama with Islam. These are there to tie Obama to the negativeness that the newscaster has already said about Islam. We can see that this is an example of narrowcasting because this will not appeal to most people. It will most likely appeal to a certain group of people which this video was made for.

    As we know, freedom of speech is an example of a Civil Right. Many countries do not allow bias media to be published, or if they do allow it, it is usually for their own benefit. This video and some ideas expressed could be offensive to some people and many would not like it (me.) But this is one of the beauties of this country. I could respond to this video with something bias on my side without a consequence from the other party that will endanger my security. Sometimes the picture could get dirty or might not be pretty, but at the end of the day it is something we should be grateful for, civil rights.
