It Is The Wall Of Separation Between Church And State . . . That Is Largely Responsible For Religion Thriving In This Country, As Compared To Those European Countries In Which Church And State Have Been United, Resulting In Opposition To The Church By Those Who Disapprove Of The Government.

If We Move Away From The American Tradition Of Lawyers Defending Those With Whom They Vehemently Disagree -- As We Temporarily Did During The Mccarthy Period -- We Weaken Our Commitment To The Rule Of Law... So Beware Of An Approach Which Limits Advocacy To That Which Is Approved By The Standards Of Political Correctness.

When The Jews Were Being Persecuted By The Nazis In 1944 We Passed The War Refugee Act, Which Focused On Rescuing Jews, A Religious Group. But If The Religious Group Is The Subject Of The Persecution Based On Their Religion, It's Perfectly Ok For A First Amendment-bound Society To Emphasize Their Rescue, Just As It Is Perfectly Ok To Emphasize The Fact That Many, If Not All Of The Perpetrators Of Islamic Terrorism, Come From Countries With A History Of Supporting Terrorism.

In Today's Distorted World Of 'human Rights,' Truth Takes A Back Seat To Ideology, And False Claims - Especially Those That 'support' Radical Ideologies - Persist Even After They Have Been Exposed.
