“Trump’s disgraceful attempts to ban Muslims from some countries from entering the United States; his reprehensible treatment of refugees and immigrants, especially in separating children from their parents; and his continued support for the Saudi-led war in Yemen, which has caused a humanitarian catastrophe.”
NONE of which are examples of religious intolerance.
Islam is a political system with a thin religious shell.
The New York Slimes weighs in on Religious Freedom?
What a joke.
YAWN.
Obama Harms Religious Freedom by Intolerance to Some, Favoritism to muslims, said no one.
FU Big Media!
Did not read..
NY TIMES, enough said..
ANY time the New York Times talks about religion of any kind, I want to spit on the ground.
I don’t have to say anything about musscums, they say IT themselves! Muslims Hold Massive Rally at Vikings USBank Stadium — Chanting “Allahu Akbar” (VIDEO)

And it's not just about jobs and economic opportunity. It's about freedom, exercise of "Creator-endowed rights and liberties," and opportunity for each citizen, not just self-appointed elitists who fancy themselves as entitled, to make decisions for all.
Freedom for religious ideas to flourish and impact America's experiment in liberty was an important component of the founding period. Thomas Jefferson wrote to Roger Weightman on June 24, 1826:
" I should, indeed, with peculiar delight, have met and exchanged there congratulations personally with the small band, the remnant of that host of worthies, who joined with us on that day, in the bold and doubtful election we were to make for our country, between submission or the sword; and to have enjoyed with them the consolatory fact, that our fellow citizens, after half a century of experience and prosperity, continue to approve the choice we made. may it be to the world, what I believe it will be, (to some parts sooner, to others later, but finally to all,) the Signal of arousing men to burst the chains, under which monkish ignorance and superstition had persuaded them to bind themselves, and to assume the blessings & security of self-government. That form which we have substituted, restores the free right to the unbounded exercise of reason and freedom of opinion. all eyes are opened, or opening, to the rights of man. the general spread of the light of science has already laid open to every view. the palpable truth, that the mass of mankind has not been born with saddles on their backs, nor a favored few booted and spurred, ready to ride them legitimately, by the grace of god. these are grounds of hope for others. for ourselves, let the annual return of this day forever refresh our recollections of these rights, and an undiminished devotion to them."Some time ago, I posted the following:
"Perhaps the so-called "progressive" enemies of freedom understand better than those who fancy themselves as "conservatives" that in order to reverse the Founders' ideas of "People over government," and institute "government over People," they must first marginalize and destroy the ideas from which liberty is derived.
The writings of America's Founders are replete with references which rebuke would-be tyrants and cite a Higher Source for life, liberty and rights. Early histories confirm those facts.
As so-called "progressives" have led a movement in forsaking the Founders' "reliance on Divine Providence," and belief that individuals are "endowed by their Creator," they also have forsaken the principles underlying America's Constitution and Declaration of Independence, and are systematically dismantling the greatest protections for liberty ever established for a people.
"Ideas have consequences"(Weaver).
The ideas of 1776 came out of a set of ideas consistent with liberty.
We tend to forget, or have never considered, that other world views existed then, as now.
Unless today's citizens rediscover the ideas of liberty existing in what Jefferson called "the American mind" of 1776, we risk going back to the "Old World" ideas which preceded the "Miracle of America."
There are those who call themselves "progressives," when, in fact, their ideas are regressive and enslaving, and as old as the history of civilization.
Would suggest to any who wish an authentic history of the ideas underlying American's founding a visit to this web site, at which Richard Frothingham's outstanding 1872 "History of the Rise of the Republic of the United States" can be read on line.
This 600+-page history traces the ideas which gave birth to the American founding. Throughout, Richard Frothingham, the historian, develops the idea that it is "the Christian idea of man" which allowed the philosophy underlying the Declaration of Independence and Constitution to become a reality--an idea which recognizes the individual and the Source of his/her "Creator"-endowed life, liberty and law.
Is there any wonder that the enemies of freedom, the so-called "progressives," do not promote such authentic histories of America? Their philosophy puts something called "the state," or "global interests" as being superior to individuals and requires a political elitist group to decide what role individuals are to play.
In other words, they must turn the Founders' ideas upside-down in order to achieve a common mediocrity for individuals and power for themselves.
Yup
It must be easy, and fun, to write headlines for the New York Times. Just use a template, and fill in the blanks with whatever you feel like.
Old template: Obama Helps ____________ by ____________ .
New template: Trump Harms ____________ by ____________ .
Maybe tomorrow’s headline will be:
Trump Harms Trees by Wearing a MAGA Hat
Doesn't matter to the NYT. Any stick is good enough to beat Donald Trump with.
Trump or the nyt?
I’d bet Trump.
Well that certainly puts an exclamation point on that issue!
The NYT editorial board consists of far left atheistic communists who hate Whites, Christians and America. There is nothing to be gained by reading their trash.
For the ignorants, our country was founded on Christian principles and we lived with those Christian principles for a long time... long years. It is just in the last generation or 2, they are attempting to remove anything of God from the United States. They would rather have anything but Christianity.
Obama said we are not a Christian nation. His words do not make it so. His words are fromm a muslim raised and taught individual..barack hussein obama. What that man said in his 8 years, was taken as gospel by the left. They adored the lawless, disrespectful, non Constitutional, anti American, racist President. He gave them the rights to live as lawless as he did. He gave them the right to be all the things he was/is. He would have removed anything Christian.. and he led the way to hate what we stand for and what our country has stood for all these years.
They don’t know what they are wishing for when they want to remove Christianity. Yes, it makes them uncomfortable. They’d like to live in their hate and anger. They don’t know what communisim is and they don’t know what it would be like to live in a world where there was nothing good anywhere.
Some people never hear and never see.. and never learn... It’s a pitiful existance to be the sheep following the wrong one.. the wrong path, and not have enough sense to see the cliff before going over.
Tho not much for religions in general, when it comes to pisslam, I’m one of the most intolerant SOBs in the state.
Personally, I think that moronic rock in Mecca would look best with target paint lighting it up.
Gotta wonder how many if the ass-in-the air savages would change their tune when their ‘indestructible’ icon was turned to gravel and spread over a couple square miles by the blast.
NYT is only good for lining the bottom of a bird cage.
Nothing the Media/DNC has breathlessly warned us about regarding Trump for the past 3 years, has happened.
