Does This Scare You?
No, not the event- the attempt to stop it.
The organizers of a Muslim day of prayer scheduled to take place Friday in front of the U.S. Capitol have come under attack from some conservative Christians....Does it appear as if, in trying to maintain some "American" values, they are willing to take a stand that they would condemn if it were taken against them? Does it appear that in order to save our American freedom of religion, we have to destroy it?
[T]his week, some conservative Christians have called the event a threat to Christian values... [warning] that the service is "part of a well-defined strategy to Islamize American society and replace the Bible with the Koran, the cross with the Islamic crescent and the church bells with the Athan [the Muslim call to prayer]."

i'm not American but why would they think that American society would stand for Islamic beliefs when the entire trend has been toward the continued separation of church and state? it seems to me that freedom of religion would mean freedom for EVERYONE'S religion rather than freedom of MY religion.
i'm right there shivering along with you.
