Outcry Returns Menorah to California Mall
http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/B/BRF_MALL_MENORAH?SITE=FLTAM&SECTION=US

PASADENA, Calif. (AP) -- Managers of a shopping center have decided to permit display of a 13-foot Hanukkah menorah, a day after announcing that religious symbols were not appropriate for the mall.

Managers at the Paseo Colorado shopping center said Wednesday that the menorah would not be permitted, but a 30-foot Christmas tree could remain because it was "holiday decor," not a religious symbol.

The decision prompted media attention, criticism from Christians and Jews, and talk of a boycott of the mall.

On Thursday, mall managers changed their minds and allowed the menorah display.

3. A plague on both their houses.
How about all the religion you want in a House of Worship or the privacy of one's home, and not at a mall?!
