An official with the Georgia Baptist Convention says that the American promise of religious freedom doesn’t include Muslims<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

[Gerald] Harris, editor of the Christian Index, the official newspaper of the Georgia Baptist Mission Board, initially drew fire when he penned a June 6 editorial asking why the leading agencies of the Southern Baptist Convention were joining other groups in the legal fight by Muslims in New Jersey who faced opposition in building a mosque.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile Muslims around the world and in our own country are shouting \u2018Death to America,\u2019 should we be defending their rights to build mosques, which often promote Sharia Law and become training grounds for radicalizing Muslims?\u201d Harris wondered.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

To his credit, Russell Moore, the head of the SBC’s Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, supports construction of the mosque.<\/p>\n
