Sure, these are backward muslims.
But it raises a question:
(I’m trying to be outside, looking in, for this one.)
Once this nation is taken back, by the conservatives, and the Socialists are taken out of office, and all the speeches, from all corners of the nation, by all sorts of folks, about, as they have said, ‘restoring America to it’s Christian value base’ ....
“What about all those good military folks, in uniform, veterans, and the ones in the military cemeteries, who do not subscribe to any of the Abrahamic faiths? What do we do with them? They gave their life, since this nation is an all volunteer force, for America and it’s Freedom. Might they have earned their own religious freedom, (since The Bill of Rights hasn’t said otherwise, yet)?
I am curious, and this issue brought that to mind.
Thank you for you service, sir.
While there may be a few extreme exceptions, most of the folks who wish to return to the (mainly) Christian values on which this country was founded, have no desire to change the rights of the First Amendment. The Founders were primarily Christians and Deists who fiercely defended a citizen’s right to worship or not as they please.
In general I do not think there is any great movement toward theocracy among FReepers, and the individuals who do support that sort of thing stick out like sore thumbs.
Oops, “you” —> “your”.
Veterans of all faiths, including atheists, are honored at FR, overriding disagreements of religious belief. Those who have risked and sacrificed to defend America have a special place in our hearts and consideration, as well they should.
