What's at Stake
Religious freedom is one of America鈥檚 most fundamental liberties and a central principle upon which our nation was founded.聽Unfortunately, though, throughout this country鈥檚 history almost every religious group has been the target of discrimination at one point or another. Tolerance and fairness have generally prevailed, but only after principled voices have transcended prejudice and hatred.
Even as the 老澳门开奖结果 vigorously defends the rights of Christians, we are mindful of the often severely disproportionate threat to the rights and well-being of religious minorities. In recent years, for example, Muslim and Sikh communities in the United States have faced a disturbing wave of bigotry and outright hostility. From religiously motivated discrimination and attacks on existing and proposed religious centers to misguided congressional hearings, minorities are being unfairly targeted simply for exercising their basic constitutional right to religious liberty.
We must always鈥攅specially in times of controversy鈥攙igilantly uphold our core values. When we violate one group鈥檚 religious freedom, everyone鈥檚 liberty is at stake.
