Ok... Please tell me why it is alright for a school district to hold a disaster drill and say that a Christian group has infiltrated the school and has shot students because they do not believe in the separation of Church and State?

It's not. I saw this on a number of sites, and I think it is unkind. Just because the school does not want to target Muslims does not mean that they should use Christians as a substitute. The best thing would have been to name NO group as the terrorists. My husband and I have trained for overseas work with Christian organisation. We took part in a mock hostage situation, and it was well done. Alhtough statistically, the places where all those "taken hostage" were going meant most likely that, if taken hostage, their kidnappers would be Muslim, NO ONE was named. By using a name, you set up negative ideas in the minds of those taking part against people of that faith. Very badly done.

Because people are concerned about their children's safety after that Christian fundamentalist (and yes, deraged as he was, he was a fundamentalist - most fundamentalists are deranged anyway) killed all of those university students. Please tell me why it is alright for the American government to detain, without evidence or with prefabricated evidence, innocent Muslim men and women in Guantanamo Bay without trial.

The disaster drill is constitutional because it does not bring about a sense in the ordinary person that the state is endorsing religion, nor does the individual drill bring up the sense that the state is favoring one religion over another. If it is part of a general pattern disparaging christians, it could be a different issue. The "separation of church and state" is largely a rhetorical device; the phrase isn't found in our constitution.
