"The US Constitution protects our rights and what exists in the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution is much better than what is found in many Islamic countries."
Abdul Rauf praising the freedoms that Muslims and others enjoy in the United States.
According to Rauf, the US Constitution with it protections of property rights and guarantee of the free exercise of religion, is awesome. Rauf is the Imam behind the proposed Burlington Coat Factory Community Center and I agree with him about the US Constitution.
The US Constitution is indeed AWESOME!
But if the US Constitution is AWESOME, why are so many Tea Party people upset to learn that it protects all citizens, even those who want to remodel an old Burlington Coat Factory Building, not just a favored teabagging few?
