The Constitution and the Crescent
by Eileen F. Toplansky https://www.legal-project.org/1021/the-constitution-and-the-crescent Excerpt: The First Amendment to the Constitution has fallen on hard times in America. Too many have confused the words "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances"1 as an invitation to demolish these very rights in an effort to accommodate and placate an ideology bent on destruction. Yet, the precision of language2 is the key to the precision of thought. It is vital, in fact, critical that we use this amazing First Amendment to expose the falsifications that Islamic leaders utilize in their attempt to impose shariah law. The Constitution and shariah are diametrically opposed; they are not just differences of conventions; they are differences in core beliefs and values. To whitewash them, to ignore them, to wallow in political correctness is to invite an incursion of foreign belief that is a genuine existential threat to America and the free world.
