Religious Fervor In The Media

The proposed Mosque at Ground Zero has certainly caused a stir.  If you are watching the media, you cannot miss the energy and resolve to stand up for the principle of religious freedom.  You are constantly reminded that it is one of the bedrocks of our great country.  In this case, of course, it is to protect the religious freedom of muslims.

Now, tell me, when have you ever seen this level of support for the religious freedom of Christianity?  You have not seen it in the U.S. for a long time.  Rather you have heard the never ending drum beat of 'separation of church and state'.  You have seen great efforts to remove religious symbols from the public eye:  ten commandments, Christmas manger scenes and prayer. This double standard reveals the great lie wrapped up in religious freedom when it comes to the left.

For contrast, consider this quote from the current news:

"Giuliani also said he agreed with Gov. David Paterson, who proposed the mosque be built on a location not associated with the same sensitivities as the land near Ground Zero.


Paterson last week offered to help the mosque developers find a new spot, perhaps on state land. When the developers shot down that idea, the governor said he would at least like to have a meeting with them to discuss it. That meeting has yet to be scheduled, and Paterson told NBCNewYork on Wednesday that there were no concrete plans to hold it at all."   Source

Notice the words underlined.  The Governor of New York apparently has no problem with Muslim religious symbols built on government property.  What happened to separation of church and state?
