Although it may look like a forum, this site is actually a crowd-sourced science project modelling the slow but inexorable heat death of the universe.

I hope this reigns in Sharia law in the process. But it may be a way for them to say "It's in our temple, you can't stop us!"

Well, If they try to abusively designate any building they own as a 'temple', they may get some nasty judicial surprises... plus, it might spur the legislator into passing laws that will state that the rule of religious law encompasses only the actual cultual practices and private and personal lives of worshipers, and stops where they act professionally or interact with people who do not agree to be bound by such law.Gawdzilla wrote:I hope this reigns in Sharia law in the process.

Point taken, the legislature might decide to pass a My State is My Temple Act.
