Separation of Church and State

Quote of the Day: Former German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder

"We rightly criticize that in most Islamic states, the role of religion for society and the character of the rule of law are not clearly separated. But we fail to recognize that in the U.S.A., the Christian fundamentalists and their interpretation of the Bible have similar tendencies."

-- Former German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder, writing in a new book, "Decisions: My Life in Politics." He was quoted by the Associated Press.
