So, back to my question and probably blueash's point, would the reaction have been different if he had quoted the article correctly from the git go? Is it okay for someone issuing marriage licenses and performing marriage ceremonies as a county employee to refuse to perform a ceremony on religious grounds? If so, then an Islamic official should have the right to refuse job performance on religious beliefs. We can't have one set of rules and laws for Christians and another for other religious groups. This is not the principles on which America was founded.

I get that...but in our effort to be FAIR we may open ourselves to bad changes.
Not all absolutes are absolute. This is a democracy and the majority rules.
