I found this essay (about the Indiana RFRA law) hilarious. (It's written by Dean Obeidallah, a comedian who is Muslim). The question for Flutherians - is he right?

[Note: despite the fact that this is is about a comedian, the underlying issue is a serious one, and that’s what I am placing this in ‘general’ and not ‘social’.]

The underlying theme of his article is that the RFRA (religious freedom act passed by (and later ‘clarified’ by)) the Indiana legislature, guarantees religious freedom not just for Christians but also for Muslims who want to practice Sharia’a and build mosques and so on anywhere in the state of Indiana.

Here’s a link

My gut feel is that Obeidallah is 100% right and the Indiana legislature opened a huge can of worms—passing a pro-christian law without regard for the consequences of their actions.

What say you?
