American Family Association: The First Amendment Only Applies to Christians

http://www.care2.com/causes/civil-rights/blog/the-first-amendment-only-applies-to-christians/

Quote :: Bryan Fischer, the "Director of Issues
Analysis" for the social conservative group the American Family
Association, says that when it comes to Islam, the First Amendment is a
privilege, not a right. "Islam has no fundamental First Amendment
claims, for the simple reason that it was not written to protect the
religion of Islam," Fischer wrote today.

"The First Amendment was written by the
Founders to protect the free exercise of Christianity. They were making
no effort to give special protections to Islam. Quite the contrary,"
Fischer wrote on his Renew America blog.

He continued:
Islam has no fundamental First
Amendment claims, for the simple reason that it was not written to
protect the religion of Islam. Islam is entitled only to the religious
liberty we extend to it out of courtesy. While there certainly ought to
be a presumption of religious liberty for non-Christian religious
traditions in America, the Founders were not writing a suicide pact
when they wrote the First Amendment.

Well it's only fair the far right extremist whackos get to put their spin on the amendment. Razz

Kind of how I feel when all the other side does it. lol

Thanks Robbie. I almost spit my coffee all over my computer when I read that Wink

Unless Bryan Fischer sits on the bench, his opinion is worth diddly squat. I would though like to get Impact's opinion or report re the supposed "infiltration" of Sharia Law in Minnesota if he has one.

I laughed.

OK, lemme look - it's been a while.

THE BILL OF RIGHTS
Passed by Congress, September 25, 1789

FIRST AMENDMENT
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble and to petition the Government for a redr4ess of grievances.

Nope, no mention of barring Islam there or relegating it to begging permission from the Christian mythologists.

Therefore, I must deduce that Bryan Fischer and The American Family Assholes are Full Of Shit. But everybody already knows that.

That would be a great comedy skit. Too bad so many people actually believe that.

It does sound like an item from The Onion.
