Idaho City Will Vote On 10 Commandments Display

In the upcoming November 7 election in Boise, Idaho, voters will be asked to cast ballots on a referendum to approve building a new Ten Commandments monument in the city's Julia Davis Park. KBCI2 TV News yesterday reported that the Interfaith Alliance of Idaho, made up of local leaders from Islamic, Buddhist and several Christian denominations, gathered on the steps of city hall to announce their opposition to the new monument. For some of them, the concern was that the move would open the park for other monuments as well. Others articulated religious arguments against placing the monument on public property.
