In fact, "Muslim groups are currently at the forefront defending the Constitution against attempts by many states to pass anti-Muslim legislation that clearly violates the Bill of Rights."
Moreover, it's "unconscionable" that political aspirants like Gingrich, Cain, and many others equate Muslims with fifth column threats to America.
In fact, many do and say so. Others also but mute their comments or stay silent. At issue is what's threatened all Muslim Americans post-9/11 - persecuting them maliciously for political advantage, making it unsafe for anyone practicing Islam by equating it to terrorism.
America's First Amendment states:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
Those serving in it and the White House are mandated to enforce all constitutional provisions and statute laws. However, it hasn't prevented them from violating them, especially against vulnerable Muslim Americans.
As a result, anyone may be at risk in a nation targeting its own for political advantage. It's everyone's obligation to stop it.
