Now we should discriminate against Muslims?
If a Muslim lives in the United States, then they are part of the state. They should be provided with opportunity for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. If they pay taxes, then all the more reason to include them. No need for censoring them. If they want to travel to a mosque, then let them travel to a mosque. I'm not a Muslim, but I know I would go on such a trip if I was invited, and would be happy to chip in for the cost. It's not that we have to disagree on some of the details, but we can still appreciate our freedom to believe as we choose and to share with others.
Errr...where exactly did I say we should discriminate Muslims?
I’m just trying to point out that there would likely be public outcry (doubtfully just from atheists) if a tax-payer funded parks and recreation department organized this trip for a mosque instead.
Muslims (and anyone for that matter) have every right to visit a mosque.
The government simply has no business in organizing and using taxpayer funds for religious activities.
