There comes a time when you get so hung up on the letter of the law, IMO, you end up pissing in the punch bowl.
What makes America different from a muslim nation or Israel is that they are HOMOGENOUS nations, we are not. That is why we should handle things in the public domain differently than those examples.

There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond. Conservatives are simply roadblocks on the path to an ever more progressive and liberal world. What a sad existence.
