Separation of Church and State

Well in reading my morning political "crap" I came across and interesting article. IT seem as though the Obama administration is going to spend significant dollars on outreach activities during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan. What is the purpose of this madness. Just last year the liberals wanted the 10 commandments removed from federal/state court houses. Now the great lib god is going to spend millions on activities promoting the Muslim holiday of Ramadan. What happened to the 1st Amendment?
