    Some of you will find this interesting. It's an issue which bothers a lot of people, particularly now that even Santa, let alone Jesus, has been banished from Christmas.

    It's not about shoving my religion, or yours, down anybody's throat. It's about accepting all faiths and respecting each other. Why is that so hard for the left to grasp?

    When the PC talking points came out in 1985 no one sent Brooklyn the memo. We have mezuzahs and Marys all over the place. We have a vital synagogue and social center just down the block, and the headquarters of the Jehovah's witnesses down the other; the synagogue is next to a home for Franciscan priests. A few blocks away on Atlantic Avenue the mosques are next to the Baptist churches. One of my neighbors is an ardent Lebanese Maronite, and another is a lover of Buddha. He keeps a statue in the window.

    This is actual diversity. Everyone gets to be, we don't fear faith.
