As a writer, activist, and former soldier, I hold the Constitution and the Bill of Rights dear to my heart and love them as many love their Bible or Qur'an. The First Amendment and other rights accorded Americans are important enough to me that I would have gladly given my life for them. You can imagine how I feel, then, when fellow blogger and conservative asshat Bryan Fischer decides that the First Amendment only applies to Christian Americans.
"'The First Amendment was written by the Founders to protect the free exercise of Christianity,' he wrote in his column at Renew America. 'They were making no effort to give special protections to Islam. Quite the contrary.'
"'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,' Fischer continued."
Keep in mind that he wrote this for the hate group the American Family Association. So now not only does Fischer want to destroy gay families in America, but Muslim ones as well. Fuck this guy.
