Commandments stir supreme debate

Christopher Peters, a constitutional law professor at Wayne State Law School, was quoted on whether the Ten Commandments should be displayed in buildings paid for with tax dollars. If a state or city museum that receives public funding displays a religious picture or text, that\'s okay \"as long as they are not proselytizing the religion but showing the cultural or historical significance,\" Peters said. Muneer Fareed, a professor at Wayne State, said most Muslims would probably not find the Ten Commandments objectionable. \"But if displayed singly and separately either as a religious totem of America\'s origins or as part of this country\'s heritage, that would construe a certain alienation for those who are not Christian or Jew,\" he said.

Church's subpoenas outrage neighbors

This article about a zoning dispute between a church and neighborhood residents in that city quotes a Wayne State professor.

The church has filed a lawsuit as a result and presented subpoenas to some of the residents who have voiced opposition in public hearings on the matter.
