But unlike the other three prayers, these two can be recited silently, but still on a prayer mat and with body movements.

SUGGESTED ANSWER:
Yes, the Executive Judge violated the equal protection clause since he invidiously discriminated against Muslims. The equal protection clause, in its anti-oppression concept, prohibits invidious
discrimination against minorities, among other groups, which is what happened in this case. There is no compelling public interest for the Judge to classify court employees according to religious belief.
