What about the "Separation of Mosque and State?"

In the wake of the battle over a mosque at Ground Zero, a move by Hartford City Council is sure to have its critics.

Though meetings don't regularly begin with any form of prayer, an email from the Common Council called it "an act of solidarity with our Muslim brothers and sisters."
