Hawaii violates constitution!

The state of Hawaii's Senate passed a bill designating Sept. 24, 2009 as Islam Day. It passed 22-3. The 3 Senators who voted against were 2 Republicans who didn't want to honor Islam as a religion because of it's association with extremism and 1 Democrat who thought it was a separation of church and state violation. I'm not going to comment on the 2 Senators who were against it because of extremists. Yes, they are right that a majority of terrorists in the world today get their inspiration from Islam, but that is completely irrelevant here. The one Democrat (no names were mentioned anywhere that I could find) said they voted against it because of the church-state issue. Amen to someone who seems to have actually read the U.S. Constitution! After all, the Supreme Court applied the Bill of Rights to the states, so the states can't establish religions any more than the federal government can. To create a day that is specifically designed to honor a religion does exactly that. Does Hawaii have a Christian Day or a Jewish Day or a Bhuddist Day or a Mormon Day? NO! I'd bet they don't! So, having an Islam Day doesn't "honor the contributions to the world of the Islamic world" as the Hawaiian Senate is claiming but establishing Islam as a preferred religion in Hawaii. There is no other interpretation. If you want to honor the contributions that have come out of the Middle East, Indonesia, Persia, North Africa as positive, that's great. Have an Arab American Day or a Pakistani Day but to have Islam Day doesn't celebrate these contributions. Instead, it celebrates a specific religion. Hawaii has violated the constitution.
