Volokh makes a strong case that we can be comfortable on a practical as well as a constitutional level with recognizing for Islamic believers the same rights as are enjoyed by believers in all other systems. I think his analysis is particularly incisive on questions of accommodation in government services (if schools close for Christmas, must they also close for holidays of other religions? Is it improper for a city-run airport to designate prayer or ablutional space for devout taxi drivers? Etc.)
