Iowa Court Rules Christian Reprogramming of Muslims Unconstitutional -- Religious Right Calls it an 'Attack on Christians'

Recently, I wrote about Watergate figure
Charles Colson. At that time, Colson was all bent out of shape over
criticism of Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, and James Dobson's pretty
much identical stands on stem cell research. Colson had written an
article titled, "Who Is Funding Attacks on Christians?" -- as if all christians had the same position as the nutjobs on the religious right.

In
June, however, U.S. District Court Judge Robert Pratt, chief judge of
the US District Court for the Southern District of Iowa, handed

filed by Americans United for Separation of Church and State (Americans
United) which claimed that IFI's [InnerChange Freedom Initiative ]
operation at Iowa's Newton Correctional Facility violated the
Establishment Clause of the US Constitution.

Judge Pratt ordered
an end to the program within 60 days, and also ordered InnerChange to
reimburse more than $1.5 million to the state of Iowa.
