WASHINGTON, D.C. (WJZ) — A Muslim advocacy group is urging the Supreme Court to protect a church-state divide in regards to the Bladensburg Cross, a 40-foot monument at an intersection in a Maryland suburb.
Muslim Advocates and the law firm Arnold & Porter filed an amicus brief asking the U.S. Supreme Court to “affirm the country’s longstanding commitment to separation of church and state in two cases involving a 40-foot cross on state property in Prince George’s County, Md,”
In two consolidated cases to be decided by the Supreme Court, Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission v. American Humanist Association and The American Legion v. American Humanist Association, the justices must determine whether the cross violates the Constitution’s Establishment Clause.
The clause is a “fundamental protection that ensures that the government does not favor one faith over the other,”

It's an token of respect for people WHO DIED protecting our Nation! It doesn't separate muslim, Jewish, Indian from anyone else.
If Muslims want to feel comfortable with their beliefs they should go back to where they came from. Trying to change America is not what they are supposed to be here.
Wrong, it insures that Government will NOT interfere in Church and Expression of Faith...Muslims must go.
Does the cross make Congress make a law establishing a religion?
So no, it doesn't violate the "establishment clause".
Sheesh, people, all you have to do is read one sentence!
Welcome to America idiots, DEAL WITH IT!
