Justin, Found it. Hamilton made the controversial ruling in the 2005 case Hinrichs v. Bosma. He ruled that the speaker of Indiana's House of Representatives could not allow "sectarian" prayers as part of its official proceedings. He said prayers that use "Christ's name or title" are sectarian, but he ruled in a post-judgment motion that it's not sectarian for a Muslim imam to offer a prayer to "Allah." In the post-judgment motion, he wrote:

The Speaker has also asked whether, for example, a Muslim imam may offer a prayer addressed to “Allah.” The Arabic word “Allah” is used for “God” in Arabic translations of Jewish and Christian scriptures. If those offering prayers in the Indiana House of Representatives choose to use the Arabic Allah, the Spanish Dios, the German Gott, the French Dieu, the Swedish Gud, the Greek Theos, the Hebrew Elohim, the Italian Dio, or any other language’s terms in addressing the God who is the focus of the non-sectarian prayers contemplated in Marsh v. Chambers, the court sees little risk that the choice of language would advance a particular religion or disparage others.

Do you mind giving a reference to this: In 2005, Judge Hamilton prohibited the Indiana House of Representatives from praying if Jesus’s name was mentioned, but said praying in Allah’s name was perfectly fine.

It seems awfully inflamatory and I can’t find anything in his opinion to support that statement.

Dan,
A fine question is who will then take Hamilton’s place on the federal bench in Indiana. I have already placed my bet on the judge who starved Baby Doe to death. Read about it here and see the embedded link to the Law Journal puff piece on Judge Baker.

What a travesty of Justice. He both is a former ACLU member, and supports the separation of Church and State, though not as judicially as he should? And clearly supporting diversity of faith shows that he is no better than a muslim terrorist. Way to make a false association! It’s a wonder you aren’t on national networks with your insight.

THIS JUDGE DISAGREES WITH MY PRECONCEIVED NOTIONS OF THE WORLD! BURN HIM!!
He’s an activist judge! why? cause he acts how I don’t like!

I think you should change the title of this blog to stereotypical midwest ignorant white redneck.
