"...nor prohibiting the free exercise thereof." Funny, I don't see "(Except for those dirty Mohammedans)" in there. Neither do I see that in the Equal Protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Promoting religious bigotry is unAmerican.
"There are fanatic Christians today... the people who have bombed abortion clinics and shot doctors who perform abortions, for instance, are religious terrorists are they not? What about Fred Phelps?...Religious extremism of any stripe is a threat to a free society. Both the Taliban and the Talibornagain ought to be rejected."
There is really no excuse for drawing that kind of false moral equivalence.
The unbalanced individuals who have violated the tenets of Christianity by murdering people associated with abortuaries are deplored by the vast majority of Christians. They are not praised, nor encouraged, nor protected by Christians.
Further, rather few of these individuals have emerged, giving the lie to the proposition that Christianity fosters them.
In contrast, Islam has engaged in terrorism and depredations for the past 1400 years, at times overrunning significant portions of Europe. This latest escalation is in its 4th decade. The number of victims is huge and growing. And Muslims not only praise, encourage, and protect terrorists, they fund them.
You look at the faithful practice of an evil religion on the one hand, and aberrent behavior that violates the tenet of a good religion on the other, and somehow arrive at the conlusion that the two religions are morally equivalent.
Nothing that Christian "fundamentalists" believe or advocate is half so dangerous to a free society as the false moral equivalence.
