What a tool - glad they got it on camera for the jihad recruiting video. 
Pandering Bubbas aside, the founding fathers specifically wanted our country to have religious freedom and deliberately phrased documents to show their intent.
"In his autobiography Jefferson wrote "[When] the [Virginia] bill for establishing religious freedom... was finally passed,... a singular proposition proved that its protection of opinion was meant to be universal. Where the preamble declares that coercion is a departure from the plan of the holy author of our religion, an amendment was proposed, by inserting the word 'Jesus Christ,' so that it should read 'a departure from the plan of Jesus Christ, the holy author of our religion.' The insertion was rejected by a great majority, in proof that they meant to comprehend within the mantle of its protection the Jew and the Gentile, the Christian and Mahometan, the Hindoo and infidel of every denomination."

He was 14 when 9/11 happened. He fought and died for his country, America.
Muslims Already Have a Place of Worship at the Site of 9/11 Attacks
I am so proud of that student--actually both of them--wouldn't it be productive if we had more adults who would speak truth to power?
What a horrible example the comments from this man are to the students in this school!
I was inspired by some of the comments coming out of Panama City and Lynn Haven.
I was going to tell you exactly what is right here but I've decided to stay out of it because it's more of a local issue.
But I will say this. Ya'll are acting kinda crazy.

Nicholas Kristof's Sunday column is about the ?ground zero mosque? that isn't really a mosque and isn?t really at ground zero. He argues that the proposed Islamic Center can be a force for moderation ? but, more importantly, that opposition to it feeds into the jihadi narrative that America is at war with Islam.
