We're barely out of the days when they would be outraged over a Jewish prayer, but they're all 'Judeo-Christian' now. They tend to be all for separation of church and state when it's another religion violating it.
And adherence to the spirit of the Constitution isn't 'PC', it's patriotic.
In the US they would call persecution, but in reality, save from a muslim neighbourhood, the majority wouldn't take part(being christians) hence no "left out" discrimination. Actually it would put the few muslims on the spot.
But they would still bitch about it. In portugal when I played real football (not handegg), we did gatherings, but for final strategies and encouraging.
