Goood-bye Religious Freedom, Hello Sharia?
This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. Two hundred and twenty years ago today, our Constitution was amended to guarantee freedom of religion. Last night, thanks to the efforts of many Americans for whom that liberty is – literally – sacred, Illinois Senator Dick Durbin ended his clandestine bid to terminate an official organization dedicated to safeguarding religious freedom, abroad and at home. That’s the good news. The bad news is that the deal Senator Durbin exacted as the price for reauthorizing the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom will require the departure of all but two of the unpaid commissioners. Worse yet, one of the commissioners Senator Durbin will allow to remain thinks religious freedom means bringing shariah courts to America. Congressional leaders must now appoint replacement commissioners who truly respect our First Amendment rights, and help safeguard religious liberty elsewhere.
